Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bumblebee breeding, and in particular to a bumblebee egg-laying induction device and a bumblebee egg-laying inducer. Background Art

[0002] Bumblebee pollination is a new production technology that has emerged in recent years. Bumblebees are large, long-lived, and have long proboscis. They are particularly effective in pollinating crops such as blueberries and tomatoes. Bumblebees have strong collecting ability and are highly adaptable to low temperatures and low light density. They will go out of the nest to collect on rainy days and will not bump into the greenhouse. Using bumblebees to pollinate facility crops can increase crop yields by more than 8-45%, significantly improve fruit quality, increase fruit setting rate, reduce deformed fruit rate, and solve the hormone pollution problem caused by chemical pollination. Bumblebee pollination has become the most ideal insect for greenhouse vegetable pollination. Bumblebee pollination has also become an important measure for green food production recognized by the world.

[0003] Since people realized the great advantages of bumblebee pollination, they have begun to explore the artificial breeding technology of bumblebees. So far, there are only six species of bumblebees in my country that have been artificially domesticated and can be bred in factories, including the red-light bumblebee, the dense forest bumblebee, and the bright bumblebee. Compared with the more than 150 species of bumblebee resources in my country, their proportion is too small. Among them, the low egg-laying rate of bumblebees under artificial conditions is a major factor restricting the factory breeding of local bumblebees in my country. There is no egg-laying inducer available in current factory breeding. The queen bee is simply placed in the starter box, and the queen bee needs to build a honey storage tank and the first batch of nests by herself, which greatly consumes the queen bee's physical energy and prolongs the egg-laying time. In addition, when the queen bee builds the nest at the bottom of the starter box, it is in direct contact with the bottom of the box. The low temperature at the bottom of the box will also prolong the period when the first batch of worker bees leave the room and delay the time for bumblebees to form groups. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bumblebee egg-laying induction device. The device forms an egg-laying area through the setting of an induction mechanism, which can induce bumblebees to lay eggs on the pollen layer in the egg-laying area, thereby reducing the physical energy consumed by the bumblebees in building the first batch of nest cells and shortening the egg-laying time; on the other hand, its induction mechanism includes a heat-insulating outer layer, which can avoid the loss of temperature in the bumblebee egg-laying environment, thereby ensuring that the bumblebees lay eggs in a suitable environment and that the larvae develop in a suitable environment, thereby advancing the time for the bumblebees to form a group; at the same time, the induction mechanism can also shorten the time for the bumblebees to establish a honey pot through the setting of a honey storage pot, thereby further reducing the physical energy consumption of the bumblebees and shortening the egg-laying cycle.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a bumblebee egg-laying induction device, which includes the above-mentioned bumblebee egg-laying induction device.

[0040] Example

[0041] The quality of bumblebee egg laying directly affects the quality of bumblebee pollination. However, in the current bumblebee factory breeding process, the bumblebee queen bee lays eggs in the starter box. Since the bumblebee queen bee needs to use its own temperature to provide heat for larval development after egg laying, the queen bee cannot leave the larva at will, so the bumblebee queen bee needs to establish a honey storage tank 111 by secreting beeswax to store feed before egg laying. Bumblebees need to consume a lot of physical energy in the process of secreting wax to build a honey storage tank 111 and subsequent storage of feed, which is also the main reason why the queen bee does not lay eggs. At the same time, in the existing egg-laying link, the queen bee lays eggs at the bottom of the starter box, but the bottom of the starter box is larger, and the queen bee spawning area is relatively random. The egg-laying area 107 established by some queen bees is easy to deviate from the central area, resulting in a long distance from the feed feeding port, resulting in an increase in the distance of carrying feed when storing feed, and further consuming the queen bee's physical energy. Even a small number of queen bees also cause the pre-egg-laying period to be extended due to the delay in determining the appropriate egg-laying area 107 domain, and the phenomenon of not laying eggs occurs.

[0042] Therefore, the present embodiment provides a bumblebee egg-laying device that can solve the above technical problems, which includes a starter box (not shown) and a bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100. The starter box can be made of a plastic material, which has a chamber inside. The bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100 is arranged in the chamber and located at the bottom of the starter box for the bumblebees to lay eggs. The side wall of the starter box is provided with a through hole for ventilation to ensure the normal egg-laying operation. The bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100 provided in the present embodiment can overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, reduce the physical energy consumption of the bumblebees in the egg-laying process, shorten the bumblebee egg-laying cycle, and advance the time for the bumblebees to form a group.

[0043] In detail, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100 provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 The bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100 provided in this embodiment includes a base 101, an induction mechanism 103 and a honey storage tank 111.

[0044] In detail, the base 101 is arranged at the bottom of the chamber of the starter box, and can be fixedly connected to the bottom of the chamber, and can be detachably connected to the bottom of the chamber. At the same time, the size of the base 101 can match the size of the bottom of the chamber. For example, in the present embodiment, the starter box is roughly in the shape of a hollow cuboid, and the bottom of the chamber is rectangular. The shape of the base 101 selected in the present embodiment is also in the shape of a thin plate cuboid, so as to provide a good space environment and foundation for the bumblebee to lay eggs. Of course, in other embodiments, the shape of the base 101 can also be set to a thin plate disc or other triangular shape, etc., to ensure that the bumblebee can lay eggs normally, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0045] In detail, the induction mechanism 103 is arranged on the base 101 and is located at the center of the base 101. The induction mechanism 103 specifically includes an insulating outer layer 105 and at least one egg-laying area 107 located in the insulating outer layer 105. The egg-laying area 107 is a closed area, and a pollen layer 109 is laid inside. The pollen layer 109 can be selected as an area formed by several pollen groups, or it can be an area formed by pollen particles, which is not limited in this embodiment. In this embodiment, on the one hand, the domain of the bumblebee egg-laying area 107 is clarified according to the biological characteristics of the bumblebee, that is, the device can induce the bumblebee to lay eggs on the pollen layer 109 of the egg-laying area 107 through the setting of the pollen layer 109 of the egg-laying area 107, thereby reducing the physical energy consumed by the bumblebee to build the first batch of nest cells, improving the egg-laying rate, shortening the pre-egg-laying period, and advancing the time for the bumblebees to form a group. On the other hand, the induction mechanism 103 includes an insulating outer layer 105, which can prevent the loss of temperature in the bumblebee egg-laying environment, thereby ensuring that the bumblebees lay eggs in a suitable environment and that the larvae develop in a suitable environment, thereby further advancing the time for the bumblebees to form a group.

[0046] In detail, the honey storage tank 111 is arranged on the base 101 and is arranged adjacent to the induction mechanism 103. The honey storage tank 111 is arranged in a bowl-shaped or pot-shaped structure, and is used to store liquid feed such as honey syrup required for bumblebees to lay eggs. In the prior art, bumblebees need to consume a lot of physical energy in the process of secreting wax to build the honey storage tank 111 and storing feed subsequently, which is also the main reason why the queen bee does not lay eggs. Therefore, the induction mechanism 103 provided in this embodiment can also shorten the time for bumblebees to build the honey storage tank 111 through the arrangement of the honey storage tank 111, thereby further reducing the consumption of bumblebee physical energy and shortening the egg-laying cycle.

[0047] Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of a second bumblebee egg-laying inducing device 100 provided in this embodiment at a first viewing angle; Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of a second bumblebee egg-laying inducing device 100 provided in this embodiment at a second viewing angle; Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of a second bumblebee egg-laying inducing device 100 provided in this embodiment at a third viewing angle; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the third bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100 provided in this embodiment. Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, the number of spawning areas 107 can be selected as Figure 1 The one shown can also be selected as Figures 2 to 4The two shown can of course be set to three, four or even more according to needs, which is not limited in this embodiment. At the same time, when the number of egg-laying areas 107 is selected as two, the bumblebee can secrete wax to seal the first egg-laying area 107 after laying eggs for the first time, and then lay eggs in the second egg-laying area 107, and continue to lay eggs by building nests upwards over time. Regardless of the number of egg-laying areas 107, the pollen layer 109 in the egg-laying area 107 can be set to induce the bumblebee to lay eggs in the egg-laying area 107, so that the bumblebee gradually breeds and grows under the protection of the heat-insulating outer layer 105.

[0048] For details, please refer again Figure 1 In this embodiment, when the number of egg-laying areas 107 is specifically selected as one, the heat-insulating outer layer 105 includes a first heat-insulating layer 113, and the first heat-insulating layer 113 is arranged in a semi-enclosed arc-shaped structure with an opening, and the arc-shaped structure is adapted to the external dimensions of the bumblebee, so as to facilitate the bumblebee to lay eggs. At the same time, when the first heat-insulating layer 113 is in a semi-enclosed arc-shaped structure, the honey storage tank 111 can be specifically arranged at the opening, and the opening is closed, so that a closed egg-laying area 107 is formed between the honey storage tank 111 and the first heat-insulating layer 113, so as to induce the bumblebee to lay eggs in this egg-laying area 107. At the same time, under the heat-insulating effect of the first heat-insulating layer 113, it can also have sufficient heat-insulating function for the development of larvae, ensure a constant temperature during the larval development period, thereby further shortening the egg-laying cycle of bumblebees and advancing the time for bumblebees to form groups.

[0049] For details, please refer again Figures 2 to 5 In this embodiment, when the number of spawning areas 107 is two, the outer insulation layer 105 includes a second insulation layer 115 in addition to the first insulation layer 113. The second insulation layer 115 is arranged in a long strip shape, and the second insulation layer 115 is connected and arranged between the arc-shaped structure of the semi-enclosed first insulation layer 113, and forms an spawning area 107 between the end of the first insulation layer 113 away from the honey storage pot 111, that is, the first spawning area 119, and forms another spawning area 107 between the end of the first insulation layer 113 close to the honey storage pot 111 and the honey storage pot 111, that is, the second spawning area 121. By setting up two egg-laying areas 107, not only can the egg-laying cycle of bumblebees in the first egg-laying area 107 be shortened and the time for bumblebees to form groups be advanced, but also the bumblebees can secrete wax to seal the first egg-laying area 119 after laying eggs in the first egg-laying area 119, thereby ensuring that the larvae breed in a suitable temperature and environment. At the same time, when it is necessary to continue laying eggs, they can continue to lay eggs in the second egg-laying area 121, thereby improving the multiple utilization rate of the bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100, and ensuring the stability of the entire device after the bumblebees continue to build nests on the basis of the first egg-laying area 119 and the second egg-laying area 121, thereby further reducing the physical energy consumption of the bumblebees in the egg-laying process, shortening the egg-laying cycle of the bumblebees, and advancing the time for bumblebees to form groups.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first insulation layer 113 and the second insulation layer 115 can be selected as follows: Figures 2 to 4 The plurality of heat preservation balls shown in the figure may also be connected in sequence. Figure 5 The insulation strip shown, no matter the first insulation layer 113 and the second insulation layer are selected as insulation strips or insulation layers, their materials can be selected as insulation materials to ensure the temperature and conditions required for the larvae to reproduce, so as to advance the time for bumblebees to form groups.

[0051] As a preferred solution, in this embodiment, the first insulation layer 113 and the second insulation layer 115 are preferably insulation balls, and gaps can be formed between the insulation balls, which can provide a certain amount of air for the breeding environment of the larvae, thereby ensuring their survival rate. At the same time, when the first insulation layer 113 and the second insulation layer 115 are insulation balls arranged in sequence, the material of the insulation balls can be specifically selected as one or more of beeswax, plastic and wood. In this embodiment, beeswax is specifically selected. Beeswax is the same material as the material used by bumblebees to build their own nests in a natural state, which can make bumblebees more adaptable to the egg-laying environment, thereby ensuring the normal egg-laying operation. Of course, in other embodiments, both the insulation strip and the insulation ball do not need to be completely made of beeswax material. For example, the insulation strip and the insulation ball both include an inner layer and an outer layer; wherein the material of the inner layer is any one of beeswax, plastic and wood, and the material of the outer layer is another one of beeswax, plastic and wood, for example, the inner layer is plastic or wood, and the outer layer is coated with beeswax, etc. For another example, in other embodiments, the insulation strip and the insulation ball can also be set to include an inner layer, a middle layer and an outer layer. The material of the inner layer is any one of beeswax, plastic and wood, the material of the middle layer is any one of the remaining two of beeswax, plastic and wood, and the material of the outer layer is the remaining one of beeswax, plastic and wood. For example, the inner layer is plastic, the middle layer is wood, and the outer layer is beeswax, etc., as long as the insulation requirements are met, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0052] It should be noted that the honey storage tank 111 can also be designed with the same material as the insulation strip or insulation ball, but in this embodiment, beeswax is mainly used and other materials will not be described in detail.

[0053] Please refer again Figures 2 to 3 When the first insulation layer 113 and the second insulation layer 115 both include a plurality of insulation balls made of beeswax, the shape of the insulation balls is specifically a sphere or an ellipsoid. This embodiment is mainly described with a sphere in mind. Of course, in other embodiments, the insulation balls can also be selected to be in the shape of a football or even a special-shaped ball, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0054] In detail, when the first insulation layer 113 includes 8-10 balls with a diameter of 0.8-1.2 cm, and the second insulation layer 115 includes 1-2 balls with a diameter of 0.8-1.2 cm, the multiple insulation balls of the first insulation layer 113 can form an elliptical arc structure with a long diameter of 3-3.5 cm and a short diameter of 3 cm together with the honey storage tank 111, for example Figures 2 to 4 In the embodiment, the first insulation layer 113 includes 9 balls, and the second insulation layer 115 includes 2 balls. By limiting the number of balls, the egg-laying rate of bumblebees can be effectively increased and the egg-laying period can be shortened on the basis of controlling the cost. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of balls can be improved and adjusted according to the different sizes of the balls and the different sizes of the bumblebees to be adapted, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0055] Please refer again Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, no matter what the structure of the induction mechanism 103 is, no matter how many egg-laying areas 107 the induction mechanism 103 includes, the bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100 can also be provided with an insulation layer 117 according to demand. Among them, the insulation layer 117 is provided on the base 101, and is located between the base 101 and the induction mechanism 103. Because in the prior art, the queen bee hatches the larvae through its own temperature after laying eggs, when laying eggs at the bottom of the starter box, the nest cells are directly in contact with the bottom of the box, and there is no insulation layer 117, which easily causes the temperature to be too low during the development of the larvae and prolongs the development time. Therefore, in this embodiment, by providing the insulation layer 117, sufficient insulation function can be provided for the development of the larvae, and a constant temperature can be guaranteed during the development period of the larvae, thereby further reducing the consumption of the bumblebee's physical energy and shortening the egg-laying cycle.

[0056] In detail, the material of the heat insulating layer 117 is beeswax, and the beeswax is spread on the upper surface of the base 101 to improve the heat insulating effect. At the same time, the material of the heat insulating layer 117 is the same as that of the induction mechanism 103 and the honey storage tank 111, which can improve the reliability of the coordination between the mechanisms, and also improve the heat preservation and reliability of the entire bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100, thereby further improving the egg-laying rate of bumblebees and shortening the egg-laying cycle. Of course, in other embodiments, the material of the heat insulating layer 117 can also be selected as a heat insulating material such as plastic or foam, which can safely provide a heat preservation effect for bumblebees, and this embodiment is not limited.

[0057] The following is a detailed description of the installation process and working principle of the bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100 and the bumblebee ovipositor provided by the embodiment of the present invention:

[0058] During the installation of the bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100, the heat-insulating layer 117 can be first set on the upper surface of the base 101, and then the heat-insulating outer layer 105 of the induction mechanism 103 and the honey storage tank 111 are installed on the heat-insulating layer 117 to form an egg-laying area 107, and then the pollen layer 109 is laid in the egg-laying area 107.

[0059] During the installation of the bumblebee ovipositor, the installed bumblebee ovipositing induction device 100 is installed in the chamber of the starter box.

[0060] When using the above-mentioned bumblebee ovipositor to perform bumblebee egg-laying operations, a pollen mass of suitable size can be placed again in the egg-laying area 107 of the egg-laying inducer, and then a sufficient amount of liquid feed such as honey can be placed in the honey storage tank 111. After the egg-laying inducer is prepared, the queen of the bumblebee is placed on the egg-laying inducer, and then the egg-laying situation can be observed.

[0061] Experimental Example 1

[0062] 60 groups of Changbai Mountain dense forest bumblebees bred in factories by the Jilin Provincial Beekeeping Science Research Institute were selected for a comparative study on the effect of using bumblebee egg-laying inducers, including 30 groups in the egg-laying inducer group and 30 groups in the control group. The egg-laying rate, pre-oviposition period and swarming time of each group were calculated. The results are shown in Table 1 below. Table 1 Effects of the use of inducers on the egg-laying rate, pre-oviposition period and swarming time of Changbai Mountain dense forest bumblebees before and after use

[0063]

[0064] According to the data in the above table, the bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100 and the bumblebee ovipositor provided in this embodiment can greatly save the time for the queen bee to secrete wax to establish the honey storage tank 111 and store feed, and can shorten the bumblebee pre-oviposition period by 4.67 days. At the same time, since the egg-laying area 107 is clearly defined in this embodiment, the egg-laying rate of the bumblebee is increased by 13.34%. In addition, the wax insulation structure of the bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100 and the bumblebee ovipositor provided in this embodiment also helps to keep the larvae warm, avoiding uneven worker bee exit periods due to uneven temperature during larval development, and shortening the bumblebee swarming time by 8.21 days.

[0065] To summarize, the bumblebee egg-laying induction device 100 and the bumblebee ovipositor provided in the embodiments of the present invention form an egg-laying area 107 through the setting of the induction mechanism 103, which can induce bumblebees to lay eggs on the pollen layer 109 in the egg-laying area 107, thereby reducing the physical energy consumed by the bumblebees in building the first batch of nest cells and shortening the egg-laying time; on the other hand, its induction mechanism 103 includes an insulating outer layer 105, which can avoid the loss of temperature in the bumblebee egg-laying environment, thereby ensuring that the bumblebees lay eggs in a suitable environment and that the larvae develop in a suitable environment, thereby advancing the time for the bumblebees to form a group; at the same time, the induction mechanism 103 can also shorten the time for the bumblebees to establish a honey pot through the setting of the honey storage tank 111, thereby further reducing the physical energy consumption of the bumblebees and shortening the egg-laying cycle.

[0066] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
