TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of bee breeding, and particularly relates to a bee escape-preventing combined device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the long-term evolution process, bees form the biological characteristics of group life. A bee colony usually consists of one queen bee, several ten-thousands of worker bees and seasonal drones. However, only one queen bee is allowed in each bee colony, and if there are two or more queen bees, they will fight each other until only one queen bee remains, so as to maintain the situation of 'no two kings in a country'. The queen bee is the only female bee with fully developed reproductive organs and successful mating, which can produce male eggs and female eggs; the worker bee is the female bee with incompletely developed reproductive organs, which is mainly responsible for collecting honey and powder, hatching bee eggs, raising young bees, feeding the queen bee and colony management; and the drone is only responsible for mating. The bee colony flight escape phenomenon is that the queen bee carries the bee colony to fly away, and the bee colony cannot fly away without the queen bee. Therefore, the bee colony flight escape can be controlled as long as the queen bee is effectively controlled. However, the newly born queen bee needs to fly out and fly several times to successfully mate with the drone, so the queen bee cannot be controlled in the beehive for a lifetime, which provides an opportunity for the bee colony flight escape phenomenon. The bee colony flight escape phenomenon in the process of bee breeding mainly has the following two phenomena:
[0003] (1) The queen bee carrying the bee colony to fly away due to enemy, disease or lack of honey, the queen bee will lead all the worker bees to leave the bee colony and build a new home in a suitable place.
[0004] (2) The bee colony flight escape phenomenon of 'group division'. In the spring or autumn when the nectar source is rich, the queen bee breeds a large number of bee colonies. When the bee colony develops to a certain number, it will start to divide (also called'separate'). Before the division occurs, the bee colony will first cultivate new queen bees. First, the worker bees build a special wide 'palace' for cultivating new queen bees in the bee colony, that is, the queen tower, and the old queen bee lays fertilized eggs in the queen tower. The queen bee grows from an egg, a larva to a pupa in the 'queen tower', and can always eat queen bee jelly, so it only needs 16 days to complete the growth and development stage, which is 5 days faster than the worker bee and 8 days faster than the drone. After 16 days, the new queen bee comes out of the queen tower and immediately fights the old queen bee to kill the old queen bee or destroy other queen towers. On the eve of the new queen bee coming out of the queen tower, the old queen bee senses the pheromone information of the new queen bee coming out, and leads about half of the worker bees to leave the bee colony and build a new home in a suitable place, which is the bee colony flight escape phenomenon of 'group division'.
[0005] If the queen bee is captured and fixed in a ventilated container during the flight of the bees, the bee colony will gather around the queen bee and no longer fly away. However, the time for the queen bee to lead the worker bees to fly away is difficult to control artificially, and the randomness of the bee flight often causes the bee colony to fly away and cause loss to the bee farmers. In order to solve the technical problem of artificially controlling the flight of the bee colony, the present application provides a bee anti-escape combination device which is arranged at the entrance and exit of the beehive to capture the flying bee colony at any time and eliminate the phenomenon of bee colony flight, and has good practicability.

[0044] The top view structure of the nest door frame 1 is as shown in Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of baffle strips 4 are provided, and the baffle strip hole 3 composed of the baffle strips 4 is provided;
[0045] The right view structure of the nest door frame 1 is as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the connecting hole I 2-1 and a plurality of baffle strips 4 are provided, and the baffle strip hole 3 composed of the baffle strips 4 is provided;
[0046] The queen escape prevention frame 11 is as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 7 A cuboid cavity structure is assembled by six combination plates 11-1 connected by a mortise and tenon structure; the combination plate 11-1 is as shown in Figure 7 As shown, the connecting hole II 2-2 and a plurality of baffle strips 4 are provided, and the baffle strip hole 3 composed of the baffle strips 4 is provided;
[0047] The mortise and tenon structure is as shown in Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of evenly arranged tenons 10 are arranged on the periphery of the combination plate 11-1, the gap between the tenons 10 is a mortise hole, the tenon and the mortise hole are matched with each other, and the six combination plates are linked and fixed by the tenons 10 and the mortise holes between each other on the periphery.
[0048] Preferably, the connecting hole I 2-1 or the connecting hole II 2-2 is a cylindrical convex hollow pipe structure, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7As shown, several partition strips 4 are arranged in the middle, and the connecting hole I 2-1 and the connecting hole II 2-2 are the same in structure and size.
[0049] The connecting pipeline 6 is a "L" type cylindrical hollow pipe, and the outer diameter of the connecting pipeline 6 matches the inner diameter of the cylindrical convex hollow pipe of the connecting hole I 2-1 or the connecting hole II 2-2. Figure 1 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the connecting pipeline 6 is an "L" type structure, and is provided with a partition strip hole 3, a partition round hole 3-3 and an insertion port of the one-way valve 7, and the one-way valve 7 is inserted through the insertion port of the connecting pipeline 6.
[0050] The one-way valve 7, as shown in Figure 6 、 Figure 10 The one-way valve 7 is composed of a door frame 15 and a blocking piece 9, the gap width between all components of the one-way valve 7 and the inner wall of the connecting pipeline 6 is less than 3.90mm, and the queen bee is controlled to enter from the blocking piece 9; the door frame 15 is a rectangular structure, the blocking piece 9 is installed on the inner side of the door frame 15 through a pair of rotating shafts 16, and the one-way valve 7 has a single guiding function.
[0051] The blocking piece 9, as shown in Figure 6 、 Figure 10 The lower end of the blocking piece 9 is provided with a certain number of blocking strips 9-1, and the gap width between adjacent blocking strips 9-1 is 3.85-3.90mm for the Italian bees and 4.30-4.35mm for the Italian bees. Since the worker bees of the Italian bees are larger than the worker bees of the Italian bees, and the queen bees of the Italian bees are larger than the queen bees of the Italian bees, the gap width between the Italian bees and the Italian bees is different. The gap width of 3.85-3.90mm: allows the Italian bees to freely enter and exit, effectively controls the Italian bees to enter and exit; the gap width of 4.30-4.35mm: allows the Italian bees to freely enter and exit, effectively controls the Italian bees to enter and exit.

The specific working principle is: when the queen bee passes through the one-way valve 7, the queen bee extrudes the blocking strips 9-1 at the lower end of the blocking piece 9, the blocking piece 9 rotates counterclockwise around the rotating shaft 16, and the queen bee enters the other end of the one-way valve 7 through the blocking strips 9-1; after the queen bee enters, the blocking piece 9 rotates clockwise around the rotating shaft 16 under the action of gravity, and the blocking strips 9-1 are blocked by the blocking force of the lower sill of the door frame 15, so that the blocking piece 9 cannot rotate clockwise again to prevent the queen bee from turning back, forcing the queen bee to enter the queen bee escape prevention frame 11 through the one-way valve 7 of the connecting pipeline 6.
[0053] The cover plate 17, as shown in Figure 8 The cover plate 17, as shown in Figure 9 The cover plate 17, as shown in
[0054] The cover plate 17, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 The gap width is 3.85-3.90mm for medium bees and 4.30-4.35mm for Italian bees.
[0055] The diameter of the baffle round hole 3-3 is 3.85-3.90mm for medium bees and 4.30-4.35mm for Italian bees.
[0056] Example 2
[0057] The use method of the bee escape prevention combination device comprises the following steps:
[0058] (1) Installation of the nest door frame 1: as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The baffle strip 4 in the connecting hole I 2-1 on one side of the nest door frame 1 is removed, the opening of the nest door frame 1 is aligned with the bee exit of the left hive, and the nest door frame 1 is fixedly connected with the hive through a pair of screws passing through the screw holes 5-1 of the fixing pieces 5 on both sides of the nest door frame 1.
[0059] (2) Installation of the bee escape prevention combination device: the baffle strip 4 in the connecting hole II 2-2 on one side of the queen bee escape frame 11 is removed, the outer diameter of the left end of the connecting pipe 6 is sleeved in the inner diameter of the connecting hole I 2-1 on the nest door frame 1, and the connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected with the nest door frame 1 through a pair of screws 13; the outer diameter of the right end of the connecting pipe 6 is sleeved in the inner diameter of the connecting hole II 2-2 on the queen bee escape frame 11, and the connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected with the queen bee escape frame 11 through a pair of screws 13.
[0060] (Three) the use of the honey bee escape prevention combination device: on the eve of the new queen emergence stand, the old queen sensed the pheromone of the new queen, the old queen through the exit of the beehive into the nest door frame 1, because the nest door frame 1 of the old queen is blocked by the gap between the strip hole 3, the old queen in the nest door frame 1 can only find the only outlet into the connecting pipe 6, then along the connecting pipe 6 through the one-way valve 7, finally into the queen escape frame 11. Because the old queen is captured in the queen escape frame 11, the old queen leads 1 / 2 of the escaping worker bees will gather around the old queen in the queen escape frame 11 to form a "bee group", "bee group" no longer fly away. While the new queen leads the remaining 1 / 2 of the worker bees in the original beehive, and the remaining worker bees can normally enter and exit through the gap between the strip hole 3 of the nest door frame 1. Thus, the new and old queen "group" is successful, and the fight between the new and old queen is avoided.
[0061] (Four) the placement of the divided bee group: when the beekeeper finds the "bee group" gathered around the queen escape frame 11, one is to gently remove the honey bee escape prevention combination device from the beehive entrance, let the new queen go out for mating; two is to first insert a honey bee egg nest in the newly placed beehive. Worker bees have the habit of loving nest eggs, and the honey bee egg nest with honey bee eggs is conducive to the gathering of bees on the nest. Then gently place the queen escape frame 11 and the "bee group" gathered around the queen escape frame 11 in the beehive (such as long distance, the "bee group" can be packed into a cloth bag and sealed for transportation), then separate the connecting pipe 6 from the connecting hole II 2-2 on the queen escape frame 11, and the bees and queen bees climb up the egg nest through the connecting hole II 2-2 outlet, start to keep warm and build a new home. Therefore, the placement of the divided bee group is successful.
[0062] (Five) the independent use of the nest door frame 1: check the new queen egg laying in the nest, if there are large pieces of eggs, it means that the new queen has successfully mated, and the nest door frame 1 can be used; if there are no large pieces of eggs, the new queen may fly out again for mating, and the nest door frame 1 should not be installed. The independent use method of the nest door frame 1: remove the connecting pipe 6 on the connecting hole I 2-1 of the nest door frame 1, cover the cover plate 17 on the connecting hole I 2-1, use a pair of screws to pass through the fixed screw hole I 2-3 to fix the cover plate 17 and the connecting hole I 2-1, and the worker bees can enter and exit through the gap between the strip hole 3, and the queen bees cannot enter and exit, so as to prevent the queen bees from flying away with the bee group. The independent use of the nest door frame 1 can only prevent the queen bees from flying away with the bee group due to enemy, disease, or lack of honey, but cannot prevent the fight between the new and old queen during the "group division", and cannot prevent the honey bees from flying away during the "group division". While the honey bee escape prevention combination device can prevent the fight between the new and old queen, and prevent the honey bees from flying away during the "group division".

(ii) Installation of the bee escape prevention combination device: Remove the partition strip (4) in the connecting hole II (2-2) on any side of the queen bee escape prevention frame (11), fit the outer diameter of the left end of the connecting pipe (6) into the inner diameter of the connecting hole I (2-1) on the hive entrance frame (1), and fix the connecting pipe (6) to the hive entrance frame (1) symmetrically with a pair of screws (13); fit the outer diameter of the right end of the connecting pipe (6) into the inner diameter of the connecting hole II (2-2) on the queen bee escape prevention frame (11), and fix the connecting pipe (6) to the queen bee escape prevention frame (11) symmetrically with a pair of screws (13); (III) Use of the Bee Escape Prevention Combination Device: On the eve of the emergence of the new queen bee, the old queen bee escapes through the hive exit into the hive entrance frame (1), then enters the connecting pipe (6), and then smoothly passes through the one-way valve (7) along the connecting pipe (6), and finally enters the queen escape prevention frame (11); since the old queen bee is captured and fixed in the queen escape prevention frame (11), the old queen bee leads 1 / 2 of the escaped worker bees to gather around the old queen bee in the queen escape prevention frame (11) to form a "bee swarm", and the "bee swarm" no longer escapes; while the new queen bee leads the remaining 1 / 2 of the worker bees to live in the original hive, and the remaining worker bees can enter and exit normally through the gaps in the partition strip holes (3) of the hive entrance frame (1); thus, the new and old queen bees are successfully "separated"; (iv) Placement of swarms: When beekeepers find a "swarm" of bees gathered around the queen bee escape prevention frame (11), they first gently remove the bee escape prevention combination device from the hive entrance and exit to allow the new queen bee to go out and mate; second, they first insert a bee egg nest into the newly placed hive, and then gently place the queen bee escape prevention frame (11) and the "swarm" gathered around the queen bee escape prevention frame (11) into the hive. Then, they separate the connecting pipe (6) from the connecting hole II (2-2) on the queen bee escape prevention frame (11). The bees and queen bees climb onto the egg nest through the outlet of the connecting hole II (2-2) to keep the eggs warm and build a new home; thus, the swarm placement is successful. (V) Independent use of entrance frame (1): After the new queen bee lays eggs, the entrance frame (1) can be installed and used alone; remove the connecting pipe (6) on the connecting hole I (2-1) of the entrance frame (1), install the cover plate (17) on the connecting hole I (2-1), and use a pair of screws to pass through the fixing screw hole I (2-3) to fix the cover plate (17) to the connecting hole I (2-1). Worker bees enter and exit through the gap of the partition strip hole (3) to block the queen bee from entering and exiting.
