[0023] In this embodiment, frame ears are provided in the hive box 100 and the super box 300 for inserting the first hive frame 400, the second hive frame 500 and a plurality of third hive frames 600. A super box 300 can be added to the top of the hive box 100, and one or more super boxes 300 can be added to the top of the hive box 100. Through the first bee guide path constructed by the first hive frame 400 and the second hive frame 500, the queen bee in the bee colony can stay in the hive box 100 to breed and raise offspring, and the worker bees can take the initiative to go to the super box 300 to store honey and other activities, wherein the first hive frame 400 and the second hive frame 500 are used in combination, so that the first guide port 410 is connected with the second guide port 510, which removes the obstacles to the upward honeycomb and honey storage activities of the Chinese bees, and conforms to the natural honeycomb and honey storage habits of the Chinese bees. When two super boxes 300 are set, a second bee guide path can be constructed by the first hive frame 400 and the second hive frame 500, and the second bee guide path connects the second chambers 310 of any two adjacent super boxes 300. It can be understood that the first guide opening 410 can be set as one opening for multiple bees to pass through together, or it can be set as multiple openings, and the same applies to the second guide opening 510; the specifications and dimensions of the nest box 100, the super box 300 and the queen excluder 200 can be formulated according to actual production needs, and the first nest frame 400, the second nest frame 500 and multiple third nest frames 600 can similarly be selected in different sizes and shapes according to the nest box 100 and the super box 300, and the above is not limited here.

[0024] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The first nest frame 400 includes a first narrow beam 420 and a second narrow beam 430 , which are arranged in parallel at the top of the first nest frame 400 ; a first guide port 410 is formed between the first narrow beam 420 and the second narrow beam 430 .

[0025] In this embodiment, both ends of the first narrow beam 420 and the second narrow beam 430 can be placed on the frame ears of the nest box 100 or the super box 300, and the first nest frame 400 can be horizontally moved or lifted from the top in the nest box 100 or the super box 300, which is convenient for installation and removal. The first guide port 410 is located between the first narrow beam 420 and the second narrow beam 430, that is, the interval area where the first narrow beam 420 and the second narrow beam 430 are arranged in parallel. When the bees go up to the nest box 100 to the top, they can leave the nest box 100 through the guidance of the first guide port 410. Among them, the first narrow beam 420 and the second narrow beam 430 can be metal bars. The first narrow beam 420 and the second narrow beam 430 are made of metal material, have high strength and rigidity, can resist deformation and cracking, and enhance the stability of the first nest frame 400. It can be understood that the material of the first narrow beam 420 and the second narrow beam 430 can also be wood, plastic or composite material, etc., which is not limited here.

[0026] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The first nest frame 400 also includes a first side beam 440, a lower beam 450 and a plurality of first frame bars 460. The two ends of the top of the first side beam 440 are respectively connected to the first narrow beam 420 and the second narrow beam 430, and the first side beams 440 are arranged in parallel; the two ends of the lower beam 450 are respectively transversely fastened to the bottom of the first side beam 440; the two ends of the plurality of first frame bars 460 are respectively transversely fastened to the first side beam 440, and the first frame bars 460 are arranged between the first guide port 410 and the lower beam 450.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first side beam 440 and the lower beam 450 are provided to improve the overall structural strength of the first nest frame 400, wherein the first side beam 440 and the first narrow beam 420 and the second narrow beam 430 can be connected by bolts, pin holes or mortise and tenon joints, etc. A plurality of first frame bars 460 are used to fix the nest foundation, ensuring the stability and integrity of the honeycomb during subsequent honeycomb construction, wherein the first frame bars 460 can be made of materials such as iron wire, stainless steel wire or plastic steel wire.

[0028] In some embodiments, a plurality of queen isolation holes are provided in the area where the queen excluder 200 connects the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 310 , and the queen isolation holes are used to confine the queen bee in the first chamber 110 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the width and length of the queen excluder are adapted to the nest box and the super, and the size of the queen excluder hole can be designed according to the body size of the worker bees and the queen bee, so that the worker bees can pass through the queen excluder 200 into the second chamber 310, but the queen bee cannot pass through. Thus, the first chamber is divided into a brood rearing area, and the second chamber is divided into a honey storage area, so as to realize the zoning management of the bee colony.

[0030] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The second nest frame 500 includes an upper beam 520, a second side beam 530 and a plurality of second frame bars 540. The top of the second side beam 530 is connected to the upper beam 520, and the second side beam 530 is arranged in parallel; both ends of the plurality of second frame bars 540 are transversely fastened to the second side beam 530.

[0031] In this embodiment, both ends of the upper beam 520 can be placed on the frame ears of the nest box 100 or the super box 300, and the second nest frame 500 can be horizontally moved or lifted from the top in the nest box 100 or the super box 300, which is convenient for installation and removal. The connection between the top of the second side beam 530 and the upper beam 520 can be connected by a notch, a slot or a pin hole. A plurality of second frame bars 540 are used to fix the nest foundation, ensuring the stability and integrity of the honeycomb during the subsequent honeycomb making, wherein the second frame bars 540 can be made of materials such as iron wire, stainless steel wire or plastic steel wire.

[0032] In some embodiments, the method for using the device for guiding Chinese bees to form a multi-box bee colony according to any one of claims 1 to 5 is characterized by comprising: S1: installing a nest foundation on the first nest frame 400, the second nest frame 500 and the third nest frame 600, and placing bee colonies therein, and rewarding and feeding the bee colonies to obtain honeycombs; wherein the honeycombs include the first honeycomb, the second honeycomb and the third honeycomb; S2: In the first preset period, adjusting the group strength of the bee colony so that the group strength of the bee colony in the second preset period reaches a preset expected value; S3: After the colony strength reaches a preset expected value, in a third preset period, a first bee guiding path is constructed using the honeycomb, the nest box 100, the queen excluder 200 and the super 300; S4: draw a number of capped honeycombs to the second chamber 310 so that the number of honeycombs in the first chamber 110 is the same as that in the second chamber 310 .

[0033] In this embodiment, S1: install the foundation on the first hive frame 400, the second hive frame 500 and the third hive frame 600, put in the bee colony, reward the bee colony for feeding, and obtain the honeycomb; wherein the honeycomb includes the first honeycomb, the second honeycomb and the third honeycomb. Select a foundation that matches the first hive frame 400, the second hive frame 500 and the third hive frame 600, fix it in the middle of the beam frame of the first hive frame 400, the second hive frame 500 and the third hive frame 600 and put it in the bee colony. By rewarding feeding, the speed of bee making honeycombs is accelerated, and honeycombs are obtained, which can be used in the bee colony all the time. In the early stage of the large honey flow, Chinese bee farmers can prepare the honeycombs in advance, which is conducive to increasing honey production and quality, optimizing the structure and management of the bee colony, etc. during the large honey flow period.

[0034] In this embodiment, S2: in the first preset period, adjust the colony strength of the bee colony so that the colony strength of the bee colony in the second preset period reaches the preset expected value; the first preset period can be 1 to 2 months before the arrival of the large honey flow period (around the Qingming Festival in the southern region), the second preset period can be 15 days before the arrival of the large honey flow period, and the preset expected value can be that the colony strength of the bee colony reaches more than 6 honeycombs, and the colony strength of the bee colony during the honey collection period reaches 8-10 honeycombs. In the first preset period, Chinese bee farmers can prepare the bee colony, improve the genetic quality and health level of the bee colony, etc., so as to improve the colony strength of the bee colony, so that the colony strength of the bee colony in the second preset period reaches the preset expected value, and ensure that a strong colony can be achieved when a multi-box bee colony is formed.

[0035] In this embodiment, S3: after the colony strength reaches the preset expected value, in the third preset period, the first guiding bee path is constructed using the honeycomb, the hive box 100, the queen excluder 200 and the super box 300. In the first chamber 110 of the hive box 100, a plurality of third honeycombs are inserted in parallel according to actual needs, and the first honeycomb is inserted in the middle of the third honeycomb, and the queen excluder 200 is set above the first chamber 110 so that it covers the honeycomb in the first chamber 110. The difference in body size between the queen bee and the worker bees in the bee colony is reasonably used, so that the worker bees can smoothly pass through the queen excluder 200, and the queen bee is confined in the first chamber 110. Thus, the first chamber 110 is used as a brooding area, and the second chamber 310 is used as a honey storage area, so as to realize the reproduction and production zoning of the Chinese bee, simplify management, and reduce interference with the bee colony, so as to better control the egg-laying and collection activities of the Chinese bee colony.

[0036] In this embodiment, S4: draw a number of capped honeycombs to the second chamber 310 so that the number of honeycombs in the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 310 are consistent. Since there may be differences in the colony strength between the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 310, the colony strength between the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 310 can be balanced by drawing capped honeycombs, so that the number of honeycombs in the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 310 remains relatively balanced, avoiding the first chamber 110 or the second chamber 310 from being too crowded or too empty, which can improve the production efficiency of the bee colony and ensure that the bee colony has sufficient and appropriate activity space. Exemplarily, according to the bees' habit of protecting their brood, 2-3 capped honeycombs can be drawn to the second chamber 310.

[0037] In some embodiments, before the steps of installing the nest foundation on the first nest frame 400, the second nest frame 500 and the third nest frame 600, placing bee colonies, and rewarding and feeding the bee colonies to obtain the honeycombs, it also includes: selecting a apiary based on the duration of the nectar source flowering period and judging whether there is an auxiliary nectar and pollen source.

[0038] In this embodiment, before preparing the honeycomb, it is necessary to select a suitable apiary to provide nectar conditions for the reproduction and production of the bee colony. Whether it is to choose to place bees in a fixed place or to place bees in a transferred place, it is necessary to ensure that the bees have sufficient food sources. When choosing to place bees in a fixed place, there should be 1-2 large nectar sources in a year around the apiary (within the effective range of the bees' honey collection flight), that is, a apiary with a duration of more than 15 days of nectar source flowering period is selected (20-30 days is the best), and before the arrival of the large nectar source period, there is also a need for auxiliary nectar and pollen sources around the apiary to meet the needs of the bee colony to cultivate collecting bees. When choosing to place bees in a transferred place, collecting bees can be cultivated in a different place, and a apiary with a duration of more than 15 days of nectar source flowering period is selected (20-30 days is the best). It is understandable that in addition to selecting a apiary based on the nectar source flowering period and the nectar and pollen source, it can also be selected based on conditions such as high and dry terrain, leeward and sunny, etc., which are not limited here.

[0039] In some embodiments, in the step of adjusting the colony strength of a bee colony in a first preset period so that the colony strength of the bee colony in a second preset period reaches a preset expected value, specifically includes: replacing the queen bee of the bee colony in the first preset period; based on preset evaluation indicators, eliminating the queen bee that does not reach the preset evaluation indicators, and merging the bee colonies whose colony strength does not reach the preset expected value, so that the colony strength of the bee colony in the second preset period reaches the preset expected value.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first preset period may be 1 to 2 months before the arrival of the large honey flow period (around the Qingming Festival in the southern region), the second preset period may be 15 days before the arrival of the large honey flow period, and the preset expected value may be that the colony strength reaches more than 6 honeycombs, and the colony strength of the honey collection period reaches 8-10 honeycombs. The preset evaluation indicators may include but are not limited to egg-laying ability, egg-laying quality, body shape, health status, age and other indicators. One to two months before the arrival of the large honey flow period, all the bee colonies in the apiary are replaced with a batch of high-quality new queens. When replacing the queens, new queens with an age of less than two years and with the best reproductive ability can be selected to enable them to produce a large number of high-quality eggs and secrete sufficient pheromones to maintain the order and stability of the colony. The colonies led by high-quality queens are usually more active, have higher collection ability and efficiency, and can increase the production of honey, so it is necessary to eliminate the queens that do not meet the preset evaluation indicators. Before the arrival of the big honey flow, timely adjustments should be made to the bee colony according to the development speed and strength of the colony. The colonies with insufficient strength should be merged, and the weak colonies should be merged into strong colonies to improve the collection capacity and honey production of the colony. 15 days before the arrival of the big honey flow, the colony strength should be increased to more than 6 honeycombs, and the colony strength should be increased to 8-10 honeycombs during the honey collection period. This can avoid the situation where the bees do not take the initiative to go to the super box to make honeycombs or store honey due to insufficient colony strength when a single queen is used to form a multi-box colony. In addition, the daily management of the bee colony can be strengthened, including providing sufficient pollen and nectar as feed to ensure that the bee colony can maintain a strong physique and strong collection capacity before the big honey flow; regularly check the bee colony, promptly discover and deal with pests and diseases to prevent them from causing harm to the bee colony; adjust the temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions in the nest box and super box to provide a good living environment for the bee colony. The above steps can ensure that the bee colony can reach the best production state during the big honey flow period.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figures 4 to 6 After the colony strength reaches the preset expected value, in the third preset period, the step of constructing a first bee guiding path using the honeycomb, the hive box 100, the queen excluder 200 and the super 300 specifically includes: in the third preset period, the first honeycomb is inserted between the third honeycomb in the first chamber 110, the queen excluder 200 is arranged at the connection between the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 310, and the second honeycomb is inserted into the second chamber 310, so that the first guide port 410 is connected with the second guide port 510 to form a first bee guiding path.

[0042] In this embodiment, the third preset period may be the peak nectar flow period which is expected to arrive in 15 days. When a double-box bee colony is formed, a first guide bee path may be constructed, a super 300 may be stacked on top of the hive box 100, and the second honeycomb may be inserted into the second chamber 310 at a corresponding position above the first honeycomb in the first chamber 110, so that the second honeycomb and the first honeycomb are spliced ​​up and down, and the first guide port 410 is connected to the second guide port 510. At this time, the worker bees in the bee colony may follow the living habit of storing honey upwards, leave the first chamber 110 from the first guide port 410, pass through the queen excluder 200, and enter the second chamber 310 from the second guide port 510 to store honey. When forming a three-box bee colony, a first guide bee path and a second guide bee path can be constructed, and two supers 300 are stacked above the hive box 100. The step of constructing the second guide bee path includes: in a third preset period, inserting the first honeycomb between the third honeycomb in the second chamber 310, and inserting the second honeycomb in the second chamber 310 of the adjacent super 300, so that the first guide port 410 is connected with the second guide port 510 to form a second guide bee path. It should be noted that according to the living habits and reproductive characteristics of Chinese bees, two shallow supers are generally selected to form a three-box bee colony. The construction of the first guide bee path is the same as when forming a double box. When constructing the second guide bee path, the first honeycomb and the second honeycomb are correspondingly inserted in two adjacent supers 300, so that the second chambers 310 of the two adjacent supers 300 are connected to each other through the first guide port 410 and the second guide port 510, and the worker bees can freely store honey in these two supers 300. By constructing the first guiding bee path or the second guiding bee path, the obstacles to the Chinese bee's activities of building combs and storing honey are removed. By utilizing the Chinese bee's natural habit of building combs and storing honey, the separation of brood and honey in the Chinese bee breeding process is achieved, which is not only beneficial to the reproduction of the Chinese bee, but also can improve the yield and quality of honey.

[0043] In some embodiments, after the step of drawing a number of capped honeycombs to the second chamber 310 to make the number of honeycombs in the first chamber 110 consistent with that in the second chamber 310, the following specifically includes: in a fourth preset cycle, shaking out the bottom honey in the second chamber 310; in a fifth preset cycle, taking out the honey combs in the second chamber 310 and removing the super box 300.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fourth preset period can be when the honey season is coming, when the bee colony is formed, and the bee colony management during the honey collection period is carried out. Shaking out the bottom honey in the second chamber 310 can increase the honey storage space and relieve the swarming fever of the bees on the one hand, and artificially reduce the amount of honey stored in the beehive, thereby stimulating the enthusiasm of the bees to collect honey, which helps the bee colony to collect more honey during the honey flow period and increase production. At the same time, due to the realization of the reproduction and production zoning of the Chinese bee, the honey can be taken without hurting the offspring, so that high-concentration mature honey can be produced in the second chamber 310. The fifth preset period can be after the flowering period ends, the honey comb in the super box may not be fully mature, and the honey comb in the second chamber 310 is taken out, and it can be post-matured, so that the honey continues to brew in a more suitable environment and reduce the moisture content. After the flowering period ends, the bee colony may still maintain a high reproduction and collection vitality. Removing the super box 300 helps to control the colony's group potential, reduce the space pressure in the colony, and help reduce the occurrence of swarming fever.
