Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bee breeding, and in particular to an improved beehive. Background Art

[0002] A beehive is a device used to house bees for the production of honey and other bee products. It typically consists of several main components, including the hive itself, honeycombs, bees, and other supporting equipment. Beehives can be made of wood, plastic, or other materials.

[0003] The primary function of a beehive is to provide a safe, dry, and warm environment for bees to live and work. A beehive typically includes a removable lid for easy inspection and access to the hive. The hive is where the bees store honey, pollen, and larvae. In addition to the beehive itself, beekeeping requires other equipment, such as honey extractors, beeswax processing equipment, and fumigators. These devices assist beekeepers in various operations, including beekeeping and harvesting bee products. Overall, beehives are crucial equipment in the beekeeping industry, providing a favorable living and working environment and helping bees cultivate and harvest valuable bee products.

[0004] During the beehive process, bees build hives and expand their colonies through activities such as collecting honey, building nests, and laying eggs. Wasps are considered one of their natural enemies. Wasps, which are typically carnivorous, prey on bee colonies for food. They not only consume the honey in the hive but also prey on the adult and larval bees. This can put the bee colonies in the hives at serious risk to survival. Consequently, beekeepers who rely on beehives to support their colonies and obtain honey and honeycombs can also suffer losses. Therefore, to protect the survival of bee colonies, beekeepers need to take measures to prevent wasp invasions. For example, traps can be set around beehive areas to attract and capture wasps, reducing the threat they pose to bees. Beekeepers can also strengthen the protection of beehives to make them more difficult for wasps to damage. Regularly checking the health of beehives to detect and address wasp intrusions is also an important measure to protect bee colonies. Only when beekeepers take effective measures to protect bees can they ensure the profitability of beehive farming and the reproduction and survival of bees.

[0005] As a result, beekeepers usually take various measures to resist or even kill hornets to ensure that the artificially cultivated bees in their own beehives can be properly protected and avoid being attacked by hornets. At present, there is a bee protection device, beehive door, beehive and bee protection method with application number CN202110264231.3 in the prior art. The technical points are that the bee protection device is arranged on the beehive door, and the bee protection device includes: an image acquisition module, a protective net, a drive module and a control module; the image acquisition module and the drive module are respectively connected to the control module; the protective net is arranged on the beehive door; the protective net is connected to the drive module; the image acquisition area of ​​the image acquisition module covers the outer surface of the protective net, and the image acquisition module is used to collect image data of the outer surface of the protective net; the control module is used to identify the image data, and when there are non-bees in the identification results, the drive module is triggered to generate voltage so that the protective net can electrocute the non-bees.

[0006] This method identifies non-honey bees, such as wasps, and energizes the protective net based on the identification results. This ensures that all bees, wasps, and other bee species that come into contact with the net are indiscriminately killed, ensuring that the device is fully and effectively combating wasps and other bee infestations, thereby protecting the health and safety of the majority of bees. Furthermore, this method improves the net's recognition accuracy and response speed, ensuring that wasps and other bee species cannot circumvent or escape the net's control measures, further ensuring a stable and secure living environment and reproductive capacity for the bees. This approach can better protect the interests of bee colonies and the balance of the ecosystem, effectively maintaining biodiversity and the sustainable development of agricultural production.

[0007] However, this method only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. Wasps and other bee species are not independent individuals, but like bees, they have their own colonies. When there are wasps and other bee species near the beehive, their intrusion on the bees will be continuous. If the entire hive of wasps and other bee species is not destroyed and the queen bee is pulled out and killed, even if the wasps and other bee species are killed by the electrified protective net in a short time, it cannot ensure the life and health of the bees and the long-term benefits of the beehive in the long run.

[0008] Therefore, an improved beehive is proposed to solve or alleviate the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0035] An improved beehive, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2 detachably connected thereto, and a plurality of bait boxes 3 are fixedly connected to the box cover 2.

[0036] There is a passage for wasps and other bee species to enter in the wasp trap 3. Specifically, Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the bait box 3 includes a receiving box 31 with an open top, and a connecting pipe 32 that passes through a side wall of the receiving box 31, a channel is formed in the connecting pipe 32, and a vertical plate 351 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the receiving box 31 away from the connecting pipe 32. The upper end of the vertical plate 351 is fixedly connected to an inclined plate 352 that is inclined upward, and an outlet 39 is formed between the inclined plate 352 and the top surface of the receiving groove. A flexible transparent film 37 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inclined plate 352, and the length of the transparent film 37 is greater than the distance from its upper end to the top surface of the receiving groove.

[0037] The connecting pipe 32 located in the receiving box 31 is coaxially fixedly connected to the feeding half pipe 34, and its arc angle is 180°. The end of the connecting pipe 32 away from the receiving box 31 is coaxially fixedly connected to the inlet half pipe 33, and its arc angle is also 180°.

[0038] In addition, a plastic film is provided in the receiving groove to wrap its inner circumferential wall and the surface of the feeding half pipe 34. The plastic film is replaceable, and the side of the receiving box 31 away from the connecting pipe 32 is also open, and rotating holes are provided on its two side walls, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected in the rotating hole, and a rotating plate 38 that closes the side wall is fixedly connected between the two side rotating shafts.

[0039] At the same time, meat pieces can be placed at the end of the channel, specifically on the inner wall of the food receiving half-tube 34 wrapped with a plastic film, and the bottom surface of the channel is covered with a fluorescent cloth, and there are several through holes on the fluorescent cloth strip, and the weight of the fluorescent cloth strip is less than 0.2g. It also includes a glue extrusion component located below the channel and connected to the channel. The glue extrusion component extrude glue to penetrate the fluorescent cloth piece. The glue extrusion component includes a quantitative glue dispensing machine fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 32 to achieve communication with the channel. The quantitative glue dispensing machine is coupled to the detection and control circuit, and the glue extruded by the glue extrusion component is epoxy glue.

[0040] A pressurized spray assembly is provided at the outlet 39 of the beetle attracting box 3. Specifically, the pressurized spray assembly is provided on the vertical plate 351. The pressurized spray assembly sprays rosin water mist toward the outlet 39 of the beetle attracting box 3. The spray assembly includes an atomizing nozzle 36 fixedly connected to the beetle attracting box 3, a pipe connected thereto, a rosin water tank connected to the pipe, and a pump body connected to the pipe. The pump body is coupled to the detection and control circuit and also includes a detection and control circuit. The detection circuit is coupled to the pressurized spray assembly and the glue squeezing assembly. The detection circuit is used to detect and judge the wasps and other bee species entering the channel and control the glue squeezing assembly to squeeze glue and then control the pressurized spray assembly to spray rosin water mist when the wasps and other bee species leave the beetle attracting box 3.

[0041] The detection and control circuit includes a storage unit, a first shooting unit, a second shooting unit, a judgment unit, a control unit, a drone module, and a wireless communication module.

[0042] The storage unit is used to store the average bee size and its floating range value. The shooting unit 1 is set at the entrance of the channel, and is used to shoot the size of the bee species entering the channel and obtain a bee photo. The shooting unit 2 is set at the exit 39 of the bee trapping box 3, and is used to detect the bee species leaving the bee trapping box 3 and output a detection signal. The judgment unit is connected to the shooting unit 1, and is used to judge whether the bee species in the bee photo is a bee based on the length of the bee species. The input end of the control unit is connected to the judgment unit, the shooting unit 1, the shooting unit 2, and the storage unit, and its output end is connected to the spray component and the glue squeezing component, and is used to judge whether the length of the bee species in the bee photo is a bee. If so, it is ignored. If not, the glue squeezing component is controlled to squeeze glue, and after receiving the detection signal, the spray component is controlled to spray rosin water mist toward the exit 39 of the bee trapping box 3. The drone module is coupled to the control unit. The drone module is used to automatically follow the fluorescent cloth. The wireless communication module is coupled to the drone module and the control unit, and is used to complete information exchange between the drone module and the control unit.

[0043] The present invention provides a storage medium for storing instructions, wherein the instructions are used to execute the actions and programs of the above content.

[0044] The storage unit is a memory, the first shooting unit is a camera, the second shooting unit is a photoelectric sensor, the judgment unit and the control unit are both processors, and the drone module is a drone. Its internal structure is the same as the method and device for determining the location information of the tracking target, the tracking device and the system with application number CN201910552106.5, and the communication module is a Bluetooth module.

[0045] When a beekeeper uses the present beehive, he only needs to close the box cover 2 normally on the box body 1, and manually deflect the rotating plate 38 relative to the receiving box 31 through the rotating hole and the rotating shaft, so that the receiving box 31 is opened away from the connecting pipe 32. The beekeeper can manually wrap the plastic film on the inner peripheral wall of the receiving box 31 and the outer side of the feeding half-tube 34, and then manually put a piece of raw meat on the position of the feeding half-tube 34.

[0046] The raw meat will attract carnivorous bee species such as wasps. Since bees do not consume meat, we can conclude that if the bee species is gnawing on the raw meat, it means that the bee species is not a wasp. In addition, the speed at which raw meat decays varies in different seasons. It usually takes 10-15 days in spring and autumn, 3-5 days in summer, and 20-25 days in winter for the raw meat to begin to decay. After the raw meat decays, carnivorous bee species such as wasps are more attracted to rotten meat. Therefore, after a certain period of time, the raw meat will have a better attraction to carnivorous bee species such as wasps.

[0047] Then, when carnivorous bee species such as wasps land on the receiving inlet half-pipe 33, they can find a foothold and then crawl inward under the guidance of the channel in the connecting pipe 32. At this time, the shooting unit completes the shooting of the bee species to form a bee photo, and then calculates the actual length of the bee species in the bee photo through a scale, and compares it with the length of the honey bee and its floating range. If it is a honey bee, it will continue to be ignored. If it is a carnivorous bee species such as wasps, the length of the carnivorous bee species such as wasps will be greater than the length of the honey bee and its floating range, and then the carnivorous bee species such as wasps crawl into the channel. During this process, the glue squeezing component will squeeze out a certain amount of epoxy glue to make it penetrate the fluorescent cloth piece with several through holes. In this way, when the carnivorous bees such as wasps walk, not only the feet of the carnivorous bees such as wasps may be bonded to the fluorescent cloth piece, but the abdomen of the carnivorous bees such as wasps will also be bonded to the fluorescent cloth piece because it remains in contact with the inner wall of the channel.

[0048] Then, carnivorous bee species such as hornets will pounce on the raw meat and collect food until they have finished collecting.

[0049] When carnivorous bee species such as hornets fly upward, they are detected by the shooting unit 2, and the shooting unit 2 sends a detection signal, so that the pump body can work and spray a rosin water mist with increased pressure through the atomizing nozzle. Under the action of such mechanical potential energy, carnivorous bee species such as hornets can be blown away and hit the transparent film 37 to deform it until it leaves the position from the outlet 39. The setting of the transparent film 37 also prevents other carnivorous bee species such as bees or hornets from running to the position of the outlet 39 of the bee trap 3, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the final operation.

[0050] The control unit will then control the drone module to take off, and because of the program set inside it, the drone can follow carnivorous bee species such as wasps that have been attached with fluorescent cloth. Since the fluorescent cloth can reflect light and has a red color, it is more eye-catching in the woods. The information is then transmitted to the control unit through the wireless communication module, and the control unit can display it through the display. Finally, after inviting professional bee chasers, the beekeeper can display the position signal content received by the control unit through the display, so that the professional bee chasers can find the nests of carnivorous bee species such as wasps in a very short time, and thus wipe out their hives, avoiding carnivorous bee species such as wasps that are left to harm the bees maintained by the beekeeper in this beehive.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
