Problems solved by technology

However, the current feeding methods basically adopt the excessive food given to the bees, which cannot control and monitor the actual food intake of the bees, resulting in the obtained data not meeting the accuracy requirements of modern scientific experiments

Embodiment Construction

[0010] The present invention comprises a barbed wire mesh 1 with a variable aperture size on the upper and lower bottom surfaces, surrounded by wooden or plastic side walls 2, and the upper and lower bottom surfaces are fixed on the side walls with variable aperture wire mesh with thumbtacks, so that the air in the box can be kept unobstructed, and it is convenient to install Change food, clean up feces and dead bees without affecting the normal activities of bees;

[0011] The bottom of the box is a 96-well plate support 3, on which a small feeding tube 4 can be placed, and the small feeding tube 4 can be taken out through the upper wire mesh hole 1 with tweezers at any time and measured, so as to achieve the purpose of accurately monitoring the food intake of bees; 96 The orifice plate support 3 can place a plurality of small feeding tubes 4 according to the needs of the experiment, so more abundant experiments can be designed on this basis;

[0012] All parts of the whole d...

Abstract

The invention provides a simple feeding device capable of quantitatively monitoring the food intake of adult bees. The simple feeding device comprises a small-sized bee box, an internally installed 96-hole plate support 3 and a plurality of small-sized feeding pipes 4 placed according to the need, wherein the upper bottom surface and the lower bottom surface of the small-sized bee box are thin wire meshes with variable apertures. The simple feeding device can be used for controlling and monitoring the food intake of the adult bees under the condition of not affecting the normal activity of the bees, and simultaneously feeding multiple samples; excrements and dead bees in the feeding device can be cleared up under the condition of not affecting the normal activity of the bees; and all parts are frequently-used articles of laboratories and can be replaced at any time so that the feeding environment is clean, and the manufacturing cost is greatly reduced.

Description

1. Technical field: [0001] The invention provides a simple feeding device capable of quantitatively monitoring the food intake of adult bees, which can meet the requirements of laboratories for accurately and quantitatively feeding the bees. 2. Background technology: [0002] Honey bees are economically important insects that play a crucial role in pollination. 76% of the world's food crops and 84% of plants depend on them for pollination. Honey, beeswax and propolis produced by bees are all important food and raw materials. At the same time, as the only eukaryotic organism with iron deposition in its cells, its ability to locate in the field, social lifestyle, transmission of "language" information, and "dance" movements to identify hives have all become the objects of research by scientists. [0003] In the process of studying bees in the laboratory, whether it is short-term feeding or long-term feeding, bee eating is a very important link. However, the current breeding...
