Measuring device and measuring method for measuring food intake dose of bees

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of experiment measuring devices, and discloses a measuring device and method for measuring a food intake dose of bees. The device comprises a cup body, a cup cover, a conical head, a capillary tube, and a nutrient solution bottle. The cup cover is detachably connected with the cup body, a vent groove is arranged in the cup cover, a plurality of vent holes are arranged in the vent groove, at least one conical through hole is arranged in the cup cover, a small-diameter end of the conical through hole faces an inner cavity of the cup body, the conicalhead is arranged in the conical through hole, a gap is formed between the conical head and the conical through hole, and the capillary tube is clamped and fixed by adjusting the gap. The capillary tube extends into the nutrient solution bottle, and a nutrient solution is sucked through a siphoning effect; the capillary tube is vertically taken out from the nutrient solution bottle, and a height ofa liquid level is recorded by using a marking pen after the liquid level of the capillary tube is stable; the capillary tube is vertically inserted into the conical through hole, fixed by the conicalhead, cultured for specified time and vertically taken out, and food consumption of bees is calculated according to a before-after difference of the liquid level of the measured capillary tube.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of experimental measuring devices, in particular to a measuring device and a measuring method for measuring the food intake of bees. Background technique [0002] In some experiments, it is necessary to measure the food intake of bees more accurately, but there is no such measuring device for measuring the intake of bees in the prior art. The measuring device is composed of a beaker, etc., and this method has large measurement errors and cannot be obtained. More accurate experimental data. [0003] Therefore, there is a need in the art for a measuring device and a measuring method for measuring the food intake of bees to solve the above problems. Contents of the invention [0004] In order to solve the problem that there is no such measuring device for measuring the intake of bees in the prior art, and the measuring device is composed of a beaker, etc., the measurement error of this method is large, and r...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In order to solve the problem that there is no such measuring device for measuring the intake of bees in the prior art, and the measuring device is composed of a beaker, etc., the measurement error of this method is large, and relatively accurate experimental data cannot be obtained. A measuring device for measuring the food intake of bees, including a cup body, a cup cover, a conical head, a capillary tube, and a nutrient solution bottle; including a cup body, a cup cover, a conical head, a capillary tube, and a nutrient solution bottle; the cup cover and the cup body are Detachable connection, the cup cover is provided with a ventilation groove, the ventilation groove is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes, the cup cover is provided with at least one tapered through hole, the small diameter end of the tapered through hole faces the inner cavity of the cup, and the tapered head is arranged on the In the tapered through hole, and there is a gap between the tapered head and the tapered through hole, the capillary is clamped and fixed by adjusting the gap; the capillary is inserted into the nutrient solution bottle, and the nutrient solution is absorbed by the siphon; the capillary is removed from the nutrient solution Take it out vertically from the bottle, and when the liquid level of the capillary is stable, record the height of the liquid level with a marker pen; insert the capillary vertically into the conical through hole, fix it with a conical head, incubate for a specified time, take out the capillary vertically, and measure the capillary liquid according to the Front-back difference to calculate food consumption of bees
