Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bee technology, and in particular to bee hemolymph collection equipment and method. Background Art

[0002] Bees play an important role in nature and in the human economy. In nature, the main role of bees is to visit flowers for pollination, and the crop yield and crop quality of more than three-quarters of the world's major crop types depend to some extent on bee pollination.

[0003] The bee's hemolymph circulatory system is different from the closed blood circulatory system of mammals. It is an open circulatory system. In this system, hemolymph flows not only in the heart and major blood vessels, but also in other parts of the bee's body. When it flows outside the blood vessels, it passes through the body cavity, providing nutrition and oxygen to all organs and tissues in the bee's body. It also plays an important role in immunity, wound healing, and defense. As a holometabolous insect, the development of bees usually goes through stages such as the egg stage, larval stage, pupal stage, and adult stage, which makes the collection methods of hemolymph at different developmental stages significantly different.

[0004] During the larval stage, the internal organs of bee larvae gradually develop as they continue to eat and grow. The digestive system, nervous system, muscle system, etc. are all preparing for the lifestyle of adults. When the larvae develop to a certain extent, the adult worker bees will seal the larval cells with wax caps, which marks the end of the larval stage and the beginning of the pupal stage. After the caps are sealed, the larvae will begin to transform into bee pupae, and their bodies will gradually harden in preparation for entering the pupal stage.

[0005] The pupal stage is the transition period from larvae to adults, during which the internal organs of bees undergo significant transformation and differentiation. For example, the digestive system, nervous system, and muscular system of bees will be reorganized and matured at this stage to adapt to the lifestyle of adults.

[0006] The adult stage is the final stage of the bee's life cycle, when the bee is fully developed and capable of reproduction, collecting pollen and nectar, building hives, and protecting the colony. The queen bee is responsible for laying eggs, the drones mainly mate with the queen bee, and the worker bees perform most of the work in the colony, such as collecting food, caring for larvae, and maintaining the hive. Adult bees usually live for a few weeks to a few months, depending on the species of bee and the workload.

[0007] A bee colony is composed of a queen bee, worker bees and drones, and there are different degrees of differences in the development process, organ structure and functional behavior of the three. Therefore, the method for collecting honey bee hemolymph should be tailored according to the specific physiological structure characteristics of its different developmental stages. The purpose of the present invention is to build a collection platform for the hemolymph of honey bees throughout the development cycle of three types of bees to solve the above problems and achieve the purpose of ensuring the purity of the extracted hemolymph to the greatest extent.

[0052] A refrigerator 7 is provided, wherein a hard water pipe 6 is connected between the refrigerator 7 and the sleeve 2, and the refrigerator 7 is used for precooling the refrigerant.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the capillary adapter 4 keeps the connection between the 0.3 mm capillary 5 and the sleeve 2 sealed by rotation.

[0054] Insert the piston core rod 1 into the sleeve 2 and push it to the bottom, and use the hard water pipe 6 to connect the sleeve 2 and the pre-cooled refrigerant in the refrigerator 7; when the piston core rod 1 is pulled out, the refrigerant flows into the insulation chamber 8, and the 0.3mm capillary 5 absorbs the hemolymph sample.

[0055] The bee hemolymph collection method comprises the following specific steps:

[0056] S1: First stage hemolymph collection:

[0057] S1a: Pretreatment: Use sterile saline to clean the queen bee, worker bees, and drone larvae, and then use dust-free paper to absorb the surface moisture to remove bacteria and feed residues on the surface to prevent contamination of hemolymph samples;

[0058] S1b: Use a blood collection needle to gently puncture the middle part of the larva's back, apply slight pressure to the body to allow hemolymph to extravasate, and use the above-mentioned bee hemolymph collection equipment to absorb hemolymph, such as Figure 1 As shown;

[0059] S1c: After the collection is completed, the collected hemolymph is placed in an ultra-low temperature refrigerator at -80°C for freezing and preservation;

[0060] The first stage of queen bee, worker bee and drone larvae includes 5- and 6-day-old queen bees, worker bees and drones. During this period, the larvae's digestive system is not fully developed, and the midgut and hindgut are disconnected. The residues produced after the midgut digests food cannot enter the hindgut and be excreted from the body. The bee larvae will experience rapid growth at this stage, their bodies will gradually become larger, and they will gradually become straighter from the initial C shape. At the same time, they will also shed their skin to support their growth. Moreover, not only are the external changes obvious, but the internal organs of the larvae are also gradually developing, preparing for the next pupal stage.

[0061] S2: Second stage hemolymph collection:

[0062] S2a: Pretreatment: Wash the larvae with sterile saline and dry the surface moisture with dust-free paper to remove bacteria and feed residues on the surface and prevent contamination of hemolymph samples;

[0063] S2b: Use a blood collection needle to make a small incision in the cuticle of the larvae's head area and apply slight pressure to the body to allow hemolymph to extravasate. Use the bee hemolymph collection equipment described above to draw out the hemolymph, e.g. Figure 3 As shown;

[0064] S2c: After the collection is completed, the collected hemolymph is placed in an ultra-low temperature refrigerator at -80°C for freezing and preservation;

[0065] The second stage of larvae includes queen bees aged 7-11 days, worker bees aged 7-12 days, and drones aged 7-14 days. This stage includes not only the late larval stage of bees, but also the pre-pupa stage of bees. During this stage, the internal organs of bees will undergo major transformation and differentiation; for example, glands such as the hypopharyngeal gland, maxillary gland, salivary gland, and organs such as antennae and brain will mature at this stage; the wings and legs of bees begin to appear in the pre-pupa stage, and these appendages will further develop and improve in the pupal stage.

[0066] S3: Collection of honey bee hemolymph in the third stage:

[0067] S3a: Pretreatment: Wash the bee pupae with sterile saline and then dry the surface moisture with dust-free paper to remove bacteria and feed residues on the surface and prevent contamination of hemolymph samples;

[0068] S3b: Turn the back of the worker bee and queen bee pupa upward, adjust the head angle so that the head and body are in a straight line, use a blood sampling needle to pierce the bee pupa's head antennae about 1mm above the root, gently squeeze the bee pupa's chest and abdomen, and use the above-mentioned bee hemolymph collection equipment to absorb hemolymph; turn the back of the drone bee pupa upward, adjust the head angle so that the head and body are in a straight line, use a blood sampling needle to scratch the compound eyes about 2mm on both sides of the bee pupa's head antennae root, gently squeeze the bee pupa's chest and abdomen, and use the above-mentioned bee hemolymph collection equipment to absorb hemolymph, such as Figure 5 As shown;

[0069] S3c: After the collection is completed, the collected hemolymph is placed in an ultra-low temperature refrigerator at -80°C for freezing and preservation;

[0070] The third stage of bee pupae include 12-13 day old queen bees, 13-15 day old worker bees, and 15-17 day old drones; during this stage, the bee pupae's eye color will gradually change from white to pink, and then to red; the bee pupae begin to form a new exoskeleton in preparation for the adult stage, and the exoskeleton color will gradually darken from white to light yellow; the bee's internal organs such as the hypopharyngeal glands, maxillary glands, salivary glands and other glands as well as antennae, brain and other organs will further develop and mature.

[0071] S4: Collection of honey bee hemolymph in the fourth stage:

[0072] S4a: Pretreatment: Use sterile saline to clean the queen bee, worker bees, and drone pupae, and then use dust-free paper to absorb the surface moisture to remove bacteria and feed residues on the surface to prevent contamination of hemolymph samples;

[0073] S4b: Pierce the blood collection needle into the intersegmental membrane of the 3rd to 4th abdominal segment of the honey bee pupa, and use the above-mentioned honey bee hemolymph collection equipment to absorb hemolymph, such as Figure 7 As shown;

[0074] S4c: After the collection is completed, the collected hemolymph is placed in an ultra-low temperature refrigerator at -80°C for freezing and preservation;

[0075] The fourth stage includes 14-16 day old queen bees, 16-21 day old worker bees, and 18-24 day old drones. It is a critical period of metamorphosis and development for bees. At this time, the internal structure and organs of the bees have matured and are preparing to become adults. At the same time, they begin to prepare for emergence, including secreting substances to soften the pupal shell so that they can break out of the pupal shell and become adults.

[0076] S5: Collection of hemolymph from the fifth stage of honey bees:

[0077] S5a: Pretreatment: Place the adult bees in a refrigerator at -20℃ for 3-5 minutes for cryoanaesthesia to prevent the adult bees from stinging the experimental operators. After the bees lose their ability to move, use sterile saline to clean the surface of the adult bees and use dust-free paper to absorb the moisture on the surface to remove bacteria and feed residues on the surface and prevent contamination of hemolymph samples.

[0078] S5b: Use forceps to remove one antenna of an adult bee from its root, gently squeeze the bee's thorax and abdomen to promote the outflow of hemolymph from the antennae's root, and use the above-mentioned bee hemolymph collection equipment to absorb the hemolymph;

[0079] S5c: After the collection is completed, the collected hemolymph is placed in an ultra-low temperature refrigerator at -80°C for frozen storage.

[0080] The fifth stage includes the adult period of the three types of bees; the adult stage is the final stage of the bee life cycle, when the bees are fully developed, have the ability to reproduce, and assume various social responsibilities in the hive; the adult's digestive system, nervous system, and reproductive system are all mature and able to perform corresponding physiological functions.

[0081] Operation Notes:

[0082] 1. To ensure the purity of hemolymph and the accuracy of analysis, the experimental equipment should be sterilized before collecting hemolymph.

[0083] 2. In order to reduce oxidation and contamination of hemolymph during collection, hemolymph should be collected quickly and stored in an ice water bath (2-4°C) to prevent melanization.

[0084] 3. After the sample is collected, the hemolymph must be placed in an ultra-low temperature refrigerator at -80°C as soon as possible. This can effectively extend the storage time of the sample and reduce the chemical and biological changes that may occur during storage, thereby ensuring the stability of the hemolymph sample and the reliability of subsequent experimental research.

[0085] 4. Divide the hemolymph into small containers and store them in sealed containers to reduce the area of ​​hemolymph in contact with air and reduce the risk of oxidation. When used later, selectively thaw according to the required number of samples to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

[0086] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects: a hemolymph collection platform for the entire developmental cycle of honey bees is built, which is tailored according to the specific physiological structure characteristics of honey bees at different developmental stages, so as to achieve the purpose of ensuring the purity of the extracted hemolymph to the greatest extent.
