Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of beekeeping technology, and more specifically, to an anti-theft beekeeping device. Background Technology
[0002] my country is a major beekeeping country, and the beekeeping industry plays a vital role in agricultural pollination and rural revitalization. In beekeeping production, robbing is one of the major headaches for beekeepers, directly impacting their profitability. Robbing is a form of intraspecific competition among bees, referring to the phenomenon where foraging bees from within or near apiaries steal honey from targeted colonies (weak or queenless colonies), especially severe during seasons when external nectar sources are scarce or depleted. Furthermore, Western honeybees (Apis cerana) frequently rob colonies of Chinese honeybees (Apis chinensis), often leaving the Chinese bees completely depleted due to the competition. This seriously damages the interests of both the colony and the beekeeper, hindering the protection and utilization of bee genetic resources and promoting sustainable development.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0041] In existing technologies, bee robbing is a frequent problem, seriously damaging the interests of bee colonies and beekeepers, and hindering the protection, utilization, and sustainable development of bee genetic resources. Therefore, this embodiment provides an anti-robbing device that can reduce the occurrence of bee robbing, thus protecting the interests of bee colonies and beekeepers. The structure of this anti-robbing device is described in detail below.
[0042] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the anti-theft bee device 100 provided in this embodiment; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the housing 101 of the anti-theft bee device 100 provided in this embodiment; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the base box 103 of the anti-theft bee device 100 provided in this embodiment; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the stacking box 105 of the anti-theft bee device 100 provided in this embodiment; Figure 5 This is a partial structural diagram of the anti-theft bee device 100 provided in this embodiment. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides an anti-theft bee device 100, which includes a housing 101 and a conduit 111.
[0043] The housing 101 is the main structure of the entire anti-robbing bee device 100. It can be modified from a beehive structure or directly converted to a beehive structure. The housing 101 has a bottom and a top in the vertical direction. A hive entrance 107 is located near the bottom of the housing 101, through which bees can enter. A bee release opening 109 is located near the top of the housing 101, through which bees can fly out. A conduit 111 is bent and installed inside the housing 101, connecting the hive entrance 107 and the bee release opening 109. The interior of the conduit 111 can be designed with a rough structure to facilitate bee movement.
[0044] On the one hand, the anti-robbing bee device 100, through the bend in the conduit 111, makes it difficult for bees to fly out after entering the conduit 111, thus confining the bees within the conduit 111. After the bees move to the bee release opening 109, they can fly out from the bee release opening 109 by means of phototaxis, thereby reducing the occurrence of bee robbing and protecting the interests of the bee colony and the beekeeper. On the other hand, since the hive 101 has a bottom and a top, and the conduit 111 extends from the bottom to the top of the hive 101, the height of the hive 101 is utilized, allowing the conduit 111 to bend inside the hive 101, further increasing the difficulty for bees to fly out after entering, and further reducing the occurrence of bee robbing.
[0045] It should be noted that a removable baffle 151 can be installed at the bee release opening 109, which keeps the bee release opening 109 in a closed state. At this time, the bees entering from the hive entrance 107 stay in the guide tube 111 for a long time, which can exhaust the bees' energy. So when the bee release opening 109 is opened through the baffle 151 in the evening or a little later, the bees flying out of the bee release opening 109 under the attraction of light will not have the energy to engage in robbing, thus effectively reducing the occurrence of robbing.
[0046] It should also be noted that, in order to facilitate the operation of the baffle 151, a protrusion protruding away from the beehive opening 109 can be provided on the baffle 151 as needed. The protrusion can be cylindrical or square block structure. The protrusion makes it easy for a person to hold and drive the baffle 151 to close or block the beehive opening 109.
[0047] Please refer to it again. Figure 5 In this embodiment, the conduit 111 has a first conduit opening 113 and a second conduit opening 111. The first conduit opening 113 is connected to the hive entrance 107, and the second conduit opening 111 is connected to the bee release opening 109. The conduit 111 has multiple bends between the first conduit opening 113 and the second conduit opening 111. The bends can be arc-shaped, S-shaped, or even zigzag-shaped. By providing multiple bends, the difficulty for bees to fly out after entering through the first conduit opening 113 is increased, thereby significantly reducing bee robbing.
[0048] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the size of the first conduit opening 113 gradually decreases along the direction from the first conduit opening 113 to the second conduit opening 111. This design makes the first conduit opening 113 approximately conical, similar to a funnel-shaped structure. After the bees enter through the hive entrance 107, the gradually decreasing size makes it difficult for them to fly out, allowing them to continue moving towards the bee release opening 109. Later in the evening or after a certain period, the bees can fly out by opening the baffle 151.
[0049] Please refer to it again. Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the hive 101 includes a base hive 103, at least one stacked hive 105, and a cover assembly 115. Both the base hive 103 and the stacked hive 105 are hollow, semi-enclosed cuboid structures with an open end, and their dimensions are the same as those of a conventional beehive. The number of stacked hives 105 can be specifically selected as one, and the stacked hive 105 is positioned at the open end of the base hive 103, i.e., they are arranged sequentially in the vertical direction. The cover assembly 115 covers the open end of the uppermost stacked hive 105 to close the opening. A hive entrance 107 is opened in the stacked hive 105, and a bee release opening 109 is opened in the cover assembly 115.
[0050] On the one hand, since the dimensions of the base box 103 and the stacking box 105 are the same as those of conventional beehives, there is no need to excessively modify the beehive structure, which can reduce damage to the beehive, ensure the integrity of the beehive, facilitate reuse, and save costs. At the same time, by stacking the base box 103 and the stacking box 105, the height of the resulting box 101 is adapted to the length of the flexible guide tube 111, so that the guide tube 111 can smoothly guide the bees to the bee release port 109 after being installed in the box 101. On the other hand, opening the bee release port 109 in the box cover assembly 115 can reduce the openings in the base box 103, ensure the strength and integrity of the base box 103, so that multiple base boxes 103 can be stacked or overlapped multiple times, which can save costs.
[0051] For details, please refer to the following again. Figure 3 In this embodiment, the base box 103 specifically includes a first bottom wall 117 and a plurality of first side walls 119 surrounding the periphery of the first bottom wall 117. For example, it includes one first bottom wall 117 and four first side walls 119 surrounding the first bottom wall 117. The ends of the four first side walls 119 away from the first bottom wall 117 form a rectangular opening of the base box 103. Correspondingly, the stacking box 105 includes a second bottom wall 121 and a plurality of second side walls 123 surrounding the periphery of the second bottom wall 121. For example, it includes one second bottom wall 121 and four second side walls 123 surrounding the second bottom wall 121. The ends of the four second side walls 123 away from the second bottom wall 121 form a rectangular opening of the stacking box 105. The hive entrance 107 is located on the first side wall 119 and is close to the first bottom wall 117. One end of the conduit 111 is connected to the hive entrance 107, and the other end passes through the second bottom wall 121 and bends to extend to the bee release opening 109.
[0052] This design ensures that the second bottom wall 121 can stabilize the conduit 111, guaranteeing its stability within the entire box 101. This allows bees to be stored stably and safely within the conduit 111, effectively mitigating bee robbing without harming the bees. Of course, in other embodiments, the shapes of the stacking box 105 and the base box 103 can be adjusted as needed, for example, they can be cylindrical structures; this embodiment does not impose such limitations.
[0053] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the support frame 125 of the anti-theft bee device 100 provided in this embodiment;
[0054] Figure 7 This is a partial structural diagram of the support frame 125 of the anti-theft bee device 100 provided in this embodiment;
[0055] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the cover 127 of the anti-bee-stealing device 100 provided in this embodiment. Please refer to... Figures 5 to 8 In this embodiment, the box cover assembly 115 has an overall wedge-shaped structure. Specifically, the box cover assembly 115 includes a support frame 125 and a cover 127. The support frame 125 has a wedge-shaped square ring structure and is mounted on the opening of the uppermost stacked box 105. It can be securely connected, inserted, or snapped to the top of the stacked box 105 using one or more connectors 135. For example, four connectors 135 can be arranged circumferentially to connect to the four sides of the stacked box 105 respectively. Meanwhile, the bee release opening 109 is specifically opened on the support frame 125, and the cover 127 covers the end of the support frame 125 away from the stacked box 105. The support frame 125 facilitates the opening of the bee release opening 109, and the cover 127 prevents bees from escaping in the event of accidental breakage or damage to the guide tube 111, effectively mitigating the problem of bee robbing.
[0056] For details, please refer to the following again. Figure 6 and Figure 7In this embodiment, the support frame 125 includes a first bracket 137, a second bracket 139, a third bracket 141, and a fourth bracket 143. The first bracket 137 and the second bracket 139 are positioned opposite each other and spaced apart. The height of the first bracket 137 is smaller than that of the second bracket 139. The third bracket 141 and the fourth bracket 143 are positioned opposite each other and spaced apart between the first bracket 137 and the second bracket 139. Along the direction from the first bracket 137 to the second bracket 139, the heights of the third bracket 141 and the fourth bracket 143 gradually increase. For example, both the third bracket 141 and the fourth bracket 143 are right-angled triangular plate structures, with the right-angled side of the triangle adjacent to the second bracket 139. This arrangement makes the entire support frame 125 wedge-shaped. A beehive opening 109 is formed in the second bracket 139. The bottom end of the cover 127 abuts against the inner edge of the first bracket 137, and the top end of the cover 127 is bent and fastened to the outer edge of the fourth bracket 143.
[0057] On the one hand, since the beehive opening 109 is located on the second bracket 139, the first bracket 137 opposite to the second bracket 139, and the third bracket 141 and fourth bracket 143 located between the first bracket 137 and the second bracket 139, do not need to have the beehive opening 109. Therefore, the thickness of the first bracket 137, the third bracket 141, and the fourth bracket 143 do not need to be consistent with the second bracket 139, which saves costs. On the other hand, since the height of the first bracket 137 is lower than that of the second bracket 139, the positions of the first bracket 137, the third bracket 141, and the fourth bracket 143 can form a height difference, allowing the bottom end of the cover 127 to abut against this position. This reduces the need for a structure to fix the cover 127, further saving costs. Similarly, since the cover 127 is bent, its own structure can be fully utilized to stabilize the top of the cover 127, thereby significantly improving the stability and reliability of the cover 127.
[0058] It should be noted that you should refer to this again. Figure 8 In this embodiment, the cover 127 specifically includes a first plate 144 and a second plate 145. The first plate 144 and the second plate 145 are vertically connected so that the second plate 145 can be fastened to the outer edge of the second bracket 139. In other embodiments, the cover 127 can also be configured as three plate-like structures connected vertically in sequence to form a "U" shape. One of the two plates at both ends abuts against the inner edge of the first bracket 137, and the other of the two plates fastens to the outer edge of the second bracket 139. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0059] Please refer to it again. Figure 6In this embodiment, a fixing frame 147 is provided on the support frame 125 near the bee release port 109. The fixing frame 147 can be a rod-shaped structure, with one end connected to the third support 141 and the other end connected to the fourth support 143. A fixing ring 149 is provided in the middle of the fixing frame 147, opposite the bee release port 109. The fixing ring 149 has a hollow ring structure and is opposite the bee release port 109, allowing the guide tube 111 to pass through the fixing ring 149 and connect to the bee release port 109. The fixing frame 147 and the fixing ring 149 further improve the stability and reliability of the guide tube 111, thereby further ensuring the effectiveness and quality of preventing bee robbing. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing frame 147 can also extend vertically on the first support 137, the second support 139, the third support 141, or the fourth support 143, as long as sufficient stability is provided to the guide tube 111 through the fixing ring 149. This embodiment does not impose any limitations.
[0060] As an optional solution, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the mesh cover 129 of the anti-bee-stealing device 100 provided in this embodiment. Please refer to... Figure 9 In this embodiment, the box cover assembly 115 further includes a mesh cover 129, which is disposed between the support frame 125 and the cover body 127. The bottom end of the mesh cover 129 can abut against the inner edge of the first bracket 137, and the top end can abut against the edge of the cover body 127. The mesh cover 129 prevents bees from escaping in the event of accidental breakage or damage to the guide tube 111, further improving the problem of bee robbing.
[0061] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the mesh cover 129 specifically includes a frame 131 and a mesh 133. The frame 131 is a rectangular or square frame 131, adapted to the size of the first plate 144 of the cover 127. The mesh 133 is disposed within the frame 131 to prevent bees from escaping. Of course, in other embodiments, the structure of the frame 131 of the mesh cover 129 can also be set as a ring or other shapes, and this embodiment does not limit the scope of the embodiment.
[0062] The installation process, working principle, and beneficial effects of the anti-bee-stealing device 100 provided in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below:
[0063] When installing the anti-theft bee device 100, the original bee colony in the base box 103 and stacking box 105 can be transferred first. Then, the conduit 111 is connected to the hive entrance 107. Next, the base box 103 and stacking box 105 are combined, and the conduit 111 extends out after passing through the second bottom wall 121. Then, the support frame 125 is installed on top of the stacking box 105 through the connector 135. The conduit 111 is passed through the fixing ring 149 and connected to the bee release port 109. The mesh cover 129 is placed on top of the support frame 125. Finally, the cover 127 is placed on top of the mesh cover 129, and the bee release port 109 is closed with the baffle 151.
[0064] When the anti-robbery bee device 100 is in use, bees can enter the conduit 111 through the hive entrance 107. After dusk or a preset time, the bee release opening 109 can be opened through the baffle 151 to release the robbing bees by taking advantage of the bees' phototaxis without losing any bees.
[0065] In the above process, on the one hand, the anti-robbing bee device 100 is designed with a bent guide tube 111, making it difficult for bees to fly out after entering the guide tube 111. This confines the bees within the guide tube 111. After the bees move to the bee release opening 109, they can fly out from the bee release opening 109 by using their phototaxis, thereby reducing the occurrence of bee robbing and protecting the interests of the bee colony and the beekeeper. On the other hand, since the hive 101 has a bottom and a top, and the guide tube 111 extends from the bottom to the top of the hive 101, the height of the hive 101 is utilized, allowing the guide tube 111 to be bent inside the hive 101. This further increases the difficulty for bees to fly out after entering, further reducing the occurrence of bee robbing.
[0066] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide an anti-robbery device 100 that can reduce the occurrence of bee robbing, thus protecting the interests of bee colonies and beekeepers.
[0067] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
