Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a novel beehive which is convenient for extracting honey and suitable for the habits of bees and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chinese bees have long been artificially bred in rural areas of my country, but most of them are simple homemade box breeding without much technical skills. When harvesting honey, the whole honeycomb (including brood) is removed. This breeding model has a great impact on the development and growth of the bee colony. Another traditional breeding model abroad is live-comb frame breeding. For example, the more popular artificially bred bee species, Apis mellifera, uses this breeding model, which has also been introduced to my country in recent decades. This breeding model greatly facilitates the timely harvesting of honey and collection multiple times a year, but the problem is that in order to facilitate honey shaking, a large amount of manual intervention is required in the early stages of live-frame honeycomb making. For example, daily management requires irregular observation and guidance of the bees to build honeycombs in the live-comb frame according to the specified shape. In this process, irregular honeycombs need to be manually trimmed, and the shape of the honeycombs needs to be constantly maintained to stabilize to prevent adjacent honeycombs from sticking to each other, as well as to prevent the honeycombs from sticking to each other. The number of movable-frame honeycomb racks should be increased or decreased in a timely manner according to different seasons and the development of the bee colony. This results in extremely high labor management costs. Moreover, this mode requires constant human interference, which will affect the rhythm of bee activities and health in the long run, seriously hinder the development and growth of the bee colony, and weaken the self-health management of the bees, ultimately causing a reduction in honey production and serious disruption to the activities of the bee colony. Moreover, the honey shaker can only indiscriminately collect honey from the entire honeycomb, including a mixture of (uncapped) immature honey and mature honey. Obviously, such an operating mode makes it difficult to produce high-quality mature bees alone. In recent years, some lattice boxes have appeared, but this type of beehive is not convenient for daily management, and it is difficult to observe the reproduction of the bee colony inside a beehive. At the same time, when harvesting honey, the entire layer is cut with a single knife, which causes a certain degree of mixing of immature honey and mature honey, and it is difficult to harvest high-quality mature honey. Moreover, the honey comb area and brood comb area of ​​each honeycomb are not completely on the same dividing line. In fact, the boundaries between the brood comb area and the honey comb area of ​​different honeycombs are very different, and they are often divided into a curved line. Cutting the whole thing with a single knife will inevitably damage the brood comb by mistake and mix mature honey and immature honey. In addition, although mature honey and immature honey have a relatively strict mature honey area on the top and immature honey area on the bottom, the boundary between the two is not on the same horizontal line. Blind cutting will greatly affect the quality of honey. The honey picked in this way is prone to fermentation and deterioration during storage. In recent years, many beehives have been launched, such as the application number CN201811376947.7 (publication number CN109258520A), which is called "a mass-produced high-quality honey-type combined lifting Chinese beehive". 2. The application number CN202110803760.6 (publication number CN113317238B), which is called "a core beehive suitable for the breeding habits of Chinese bees and its use method".

[0003] The first one mainly guides production by setting up different functional block models through human intervention. For example, the form of guiding bees to take their seats in the right places by setting up high-quality honey comb frames, brood comb frames, and queen breeding frames is feasible to a certain extent. But the problem is that this is not set up completely in accordance with the natural breeding habits of bees. Moreover, this functional block design is only feasible for bee families that have developed into large groups, but it is not applicable to most small groups of bees that have just started the breeding stage. In addition, too many functional area settings also make management and operation cumbersome for beekeepers, increasing labor costs.

[0004] The second beehive is already very adaptable to the natural reproduction habits of honey, but the fixed frame-type nest skin rack design makes it difficult to operate when taking honey from the honeycomb. When taking the honey from the honey frame of the nest skin rack, it is necessary to use tools to take out the honeycomb in the frame. At the same time, the nest spleen racks attached to the remaining brood spleens after taking the honey need to be taken out manually one by one and moved to the top of the box one by one, which is somewhat cumbersome in function. In addition, because the natural reproduction and making of honeycombs by bees is irregular and directional, and the size and shape of each honeycomb are different, the middle support of this honeycomb rack is designed in a "well" shape. Some small nest skins on the edge are sometimes inevitably not attached to the bracket because of their small size or unstable attachment, which inevitably wastes a small part of the small honeycomb. In addition, the natural honeycomb of the bees is similar to an "inverted triangle", so the edge of the honeycomb below may not be able to be firmly attached to the "well" nest skin rack because of its small size, which will cause the risk of losing the honeycomb when harvesting honey. At the same time, because this honeycomb rack adopts a fixed design, when harvesting wild honey and bee colonies, the cut brood spleens cannot be fixed on this kind of honeycomb rack, which causes a waste of brood spleens. Therefore, a beehive facility that is simpler and more convenient to operate, has more intelligent functions, is easy to manage and adapts to the natural breeding habits of bees is of great significance.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of hive doors are arranged side by side up and down on the front side of the main beehive, and the hive doors are hinged to the main beehive. Hive openings for bees to enter and exit are provided near the bottom of the hive doors. There are three groups of hive doors, of which two groups of hive openings are provided on the bottom hive doors. A reserve hive opening is provided near the bottom of the back panel on the rear side of the main beehive. The top of the main beehive is open and hinged with a top plate, and a boss is fixed on the inner side of the top plate to be connected to the two inner walls of the main beehive for sealing.

[0012] Furthermore, the main beehive is composed of a left wall panel, a right wall panel, a rear wall panel and a bottom plate, and the front sides of the left wall panel and the right wall panel are fixedly provided with a limiting guide plate with an L-shaped cross-section.

One end of each door is connected to the front end of one side wall panel by two (56) hinges, and the other end is connected to the front end of the other side wall panel by a lock that can be opened and closed (57). (6) The four ends of the inner side of the top plate of the beehive have corresponding (58) ladder grooves, and the extension plate formed by the front end extending forward toward the hive door can cover the hive door to form a raincoat effect, so that rainwater is not easy to enter the hive. (7) The boss can be embedded in the inner space surrounded by the front, rear, left and right panels when in use, making it more secure when in use. (6) The top plate is connected to the top end of the (3) rear wall panel by a hinge. The left and right sides of the (6) top plate are each provided with (8) corner brackets or locks that can be opened and closed with the left and right side wall panels. When in use, the locks can be opened to form a single door that flips upward and backward with the hinge as the axis. Each (5) upper door and (5) middle door is provided with a (10) honeycomb opening at the bottom thereof which can be opened and the size of the outlet can be adjusted. The lowermost (5) lower door is provided with a (10) honeycomb opening at the left and right sides of the lower end thereof which can be opened and the size of the outlet can be adjusted.

[0023] (3) A preparatory honeycomb opening (11) is provided at the bottom of the rear wall plate and can be opened and adjusted in size. The left and right side wall panels are at the same horizontal position at a distance of approximately 1.5 times and 2.5 times the height of the left and right square plates of the honeycomb rack unit from the bottom of the box. There is a pair of corresponding four (12) clamping rod holes penetrating the left and right wall panels and the (14) vertical assembly strips at the front and back, which are used to install the (59) clamping rods that support the series honeycomb rack support frame assembly. When in use, the (59) clamping rods can be removably passed through, and the four (59) clamping rods at the front and back, left and right sides of the left and right side wall panels at the same level can also be respectively extended into the four corresponding (52) retreat grooves of the raised pad frame, so that the (59) clamping rods are supported at the bottom of the series honeycomb rack support frame assembly. At this time, when the pad frame is removed, the honeycomb rack support frame assembly will not slide to the bottom, which is convenient for the operator to pass through the (12) clamping rod holes and the (59) clamping rods from the bottom of the original honeycomb rack support frame assembly to facilitate the connection and addition of new honeycomb rack support frame units. The outer wall surfaces of the (1) left wall panel, (2) right wall panel and (3) rear wall panel each have two vertical and horizontal assembly slats that are close to the panel surface (to enhance the stability of the beehive and prevent the panel surface from being easily deformed).

The left and right end surfaces of each front (48) middle beam are flush with the side surfaces of each left and right (49) cushion beams. The two ends of the rear (48) middle beam are respectively fixedly connected to the (50) of each left and right (49) cushion beams. ) rear middle beam positioning groove, the left and right end surfaces of each rear (48) middle beam are respectively flush with the side surfaces of each left and right (49) cushion beam, and the upper plane of the rear (48) middle beam is flush with the upper planes of the rear ends of the two (49) cushion beams, the rear side of the rear (48) middle beam has two (53) rear pull ears, and the middle of the front side of the front (48) middle beam has a (54) front pull ear, and the rear ends of the two (49) cushion beams can extend into the (25) rear limit groove of the honeycomb frame support frame assembly.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present invention, the hook assembly is composed of (72) a T-shaped hook gripping rod, (71) a front hook, and two left and right rear hooks (70). Each end of the (72) T-shaped hook pull rod has a (73) inverted hook, and one end of each front and rear hook has a (74) hook ring and the other end has a (75) hook head.

[0033] The working principle of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: The main beehive is fixedly connected on four sides by (1) the left wall panel, (2) the right wall panel, (3) the rear wall panel and (4) the bottom panel, and the left and right wall panels and the rear wall panel are provided with collective slats, making the beehive more solid and light. The multiple doors on the front panel are convenient for checking the activities of the bee colony in the main beehive and cleaning the beehive. Each (5) box door and the reserved (9) preparation hive opening with an openable and adjustable outlet size can be opened or closed according to actual needs or used as a ventilation hole in special circumstances when production is required. The upper and lower two groups of corresponding series of nest skin frame support frame assemblies of the (1) left and right side wall panels of the main beehive (1) have (12) clamping rod holes for facilitating the use of the series of nest skin frame support frame assembly pad frame and hook assembly to pull up the series of nest skin frame support frame after each honey harvesting. The support frame assembly is moved to a suitable height position of the main beehive, and then the (12) clamping rod hole and (59) clamping rod are used to support the original honeycomb frame support frame assembly. The honeycomb frame support frame assembly is clamped inside the main beehive and does not fall to the bottom of the main beehive. At this time, the cushion frame is removed to facilitate the operator to add a new honeycomb frame support frame unit from the bottom of the honeycomb frame support frame assembly. The left and right (15) front clamps on the front end surfaces of the left and right (1) side wall panels can limit the left and right front ends of the honeycomb frame support frame assembly in the vertical direction, making it more stable and not deformed or collapsed. The (11) reserve honeycomb opening with an adjustable outlet size reserved at the bottom of the (3) rear wall plate is for the convenience of encountering special circumstances, such as the wintering season of the bee colony or the weak bee colony. A (27) convex plate can be added to a (35) honeycomb frame support beam in the middle of the series-connected honeycomb frame support frame assembly. At this time, the (11) reserve honeycomb opening at the bottom of the (3) rear wall plate can be opened, and at the same time, one of the (9) reserve honeycomb openings in the (5) hive doors above the (27) convex plate can be opened, so that two groups of bees can be raised in the same main beehive. In winter, the upper and lower groups of bees can keep each other warm and reduce energy consumption. This is even more significant for the two weak bee colonies. Not only can the effect of raising two queens in the same beehive be achieved, but in the event that any of the two weak groups loses its queen, the bee colonies can be easily merged to avoid losses. Similarly, it is also possible to raise two colonies of bees in one beehive at ordinary times, which is equivalent to two queen bees laying eggs to speed up the growth of bees. When the nectar flow period comes, take out the queen bee of the upper colony, merge the colonies through reasonable operation, remove the middle (27) convex plate and replace it with a queen excluder (which only blocks the queen bee, a universal setting). In this way, the queen bee is isolated under the queen excluder and cannot enter the upper honeycomb to lay eggs. In this way, the young bees in the original brood combs of the upper hive are all used to store honey after leaving the hive, which greatly facilitates the beekeeper to harvest honey and avoids the loss of brood combs in normal operations to the greatest extent. At the same time, this method can easily produce mature capped honey.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present invention, due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the beehive, there are often a large number of water droplets on the inner side walls of the beehive. Especially during the honey flow period or when the outside temperature suddenly warms up, a large amount of water often accumulates at the bottom of the beehive, especially in the corners. Bees hate humidity very much because a humid environment not only corrodes the beehive, but also easily breeds bacteria, making it easy for bees to develop various diseases. The dehumidification holes at the bottom of the beehive can be passed through (22) drainage cloth or drainage paper, and the water is continuously absorbed through the starting end in the main beehive to drain the water to the outer part of the bottom of the main beehive. The water on the (22) drainage cloth (or drainage paper) on the outer side of the bottom of the main beehive that flutters in the wind will continue to dissipate into the air due to exposure to sunlight or airflow, thus forming a system that continuously drains the water in the main beehive outward, thereby keeping the environment inside the beehive permanently dry and fresh.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, the function of the footrest is to make the bottom of the main beehive have a certain distance from the ground, so as to provide a certain ventilation space for the drainage cloth (paper) (22) to ensure smooth airflow. The function of the footrest top plate (17), the small baffle plate (18), and the footrest connecting plate (19) is to make the footrest (20) more stable and light. The left and right (25) rear limit grooves formed by the left and right limit strips (24) and the left and right side walls of the main beehive can limit the left and right rear ends of the nest skin frame support frame assembly in the vertical direction, making it less likely to deform and move.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present invention, the honeycomb attachment top plate assembly can be placed on the top of the series honeycomb frame support frame assembly as the top attachment of the honeycomb of the bees. The (30) ridge of the (27) convex plate can guide the bees to build honeycombs along the (30) ridge direction to the greatest extent. The (31) groove part is used to guide the spacing between honeycombs. At the same time, if a beehive is used to raise two groups of bees, the left and right side strips on both sides (28) can be removed, and the middle (27) convex plate can be placed on a suitable (35) honeycomb frame support beam in the middle of the series honeycomb frame support frame assembly to form a partition in the beehive, so that the same main beehive becomes two boxes. When in use, the two (29) concession grooves of the (27) convex plate can make the (27) convex plate fit well with the left and right (24) limit strips on the left and right sides of the main beehive, playing a good barrier role.

[0037] The (39) connection nail holes arranged at the lower end surfaces of the left and right (33) control plates and the upper and lower end surfaces of the left and right square plates of each honeycomb frame support frame unit (32) can facilitate more stable alignment and connection between the left and right control plates (33) and the corresponding left and right square plates of the honeycomb frame support frame unit (32) and the adjacent (32) square plates of each upper and lower adjacent honeycomb frame support frame unit through each (40) connection nail.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the series-connected honeycomb rack support frame assembly well supports the honeycomb frame, so that a single or multiple honeycomb rack units can be placed from top to bottom on the (35) honeycomb rack support beam of each honeycomb rack support frame unit according to actual needs, so that bees can build honeycombs freely and stably from top to bottom without falling.

[0039] After each honey harvesting operation is completed, the (8) corner codes or locks on the left and right sides of the (6) top plate are opened to allow the (6) top plate to be flipped upward and backward along the hinge to open the (6) top plate. By operating the pad frame and the hook assembly, the series honeycomb frame support frame assembly can be moved toward the top of the main beehive as a whole. In this way, after each honeycomb is harvested at the upper end, the honeycomb brood area and part of the immature honeycomb area at the lower part can be moved to the top of the beehive as a whole without being damaged by any external force, so that the bees can directly build a new honeycomb skin under the original honeycomb skin, which perfectly meets the natural breeding habits of the bees. In addition, a new honeycomb rack support frame unit and a new honeycomb rack unit are added to the lower end of the series-connected honeycomb rack support frame assembly, so that the bees can build honeycombs from top to bottom according to their habits. This operation is repeated each time, which perfectly helps the bees solve the replacement of old and new honeycombs, and eliminates the problem of old honeycombs being prone to breeding nest worms in traditional breeding methods. This operation enables the bee colony to develop more healthily, which is currently difficult to achieve in other beehives.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, the detachable honeycomb rack unit, when assembled, the interwoven mesh frame in the rectangular frame (41) can well play the role of attaching the honeycomb to the bees and prevent it from falling off. When harvesting honey, the corresponding layer of honeycomb rack unit with mature honey area can be easily taken out, while the lower honeycomb is still fixed on the lower honeycomb rack unit and will not fall off, thus solving the problem of wasting brood combs in native beehives. The cut honeycomb rack unit with mature honey attached can be detached from the upper (41) rectangular frame (net), so that the honeycomb attached to the two mesh frames between the upper and lower (41) rectangular frames can be easily taken out. The operation is simple, and the complete honeycomb can be easily taken out, meeting the customer's demand for honey with honeycomb. At the same time, when there are bee colonies found in the wild or bee colonies in ordinary breeding boxes to harvest honey or transfer At this time, many brood combs with young bees will be obtained. At this time, the left and right and front and back two groups (42) of stainless steel wires and (43) bamboo sticks can be removed from a (41) rectangular frame above the honeycomb rack unit. At this time, only one group of left and right or front and back side beams on the (41) rectangular frame is used. Through the selected group (46) reserved holes, the (42) stainless steel wires are organized to pass through the appropriate (46) reserved hole group according to the width of the harvested brood combs so that the corresponding brood combs can be clamped in the middle of the (42) stainless steel wires, and the lower end of each brood comb is directly supported by the grid in the (41) rectangular frame below the same honeycomb rack unit and will not fall off. Repeat this operation until all the required brood combs are fixed. This perfectly solves the problem that conventional operations cannot well protect the brood combs that have been cut.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, the series honeycomb rack support frame assembly cushion frame is placed on the inner side plate of the bottom plate of the main beehive (4) when in use, and the series honeycomb rack support frame assembly is supported on it. When each honey harvesting is completed, the (6) top plate of the main beehive is opened to make the main beehive as a whole tilt backward and stabilize, or the rear wall of the main beehive is directly laid on the ground. At this time, two (70) rear pull hooks can be inserted into the gap between the inner side of the rear wall of the main beehive and the honeycomb rack support frame assembly, and the (75) hook heads of the left and right rear pull hooks (70) respectively correspond to the left and right (53) rear pull ears, and another (71) front pull hook is used to hook the (54) front pull ear, and then the end hook loop of each pull hook is respectively put on the (73) inverted hook corresponding to the (72) "T"-shaped hook grip rod, and the (72) "T"-shaped hook grip rod is held by hand to move the series honeycomb rack support frame assembly to the top of the main beehive. After the beehive has risen to a sufficient position, insert the (59) clamping rods through the four (12) clamping rod holes of the left and right side wall panels of the same horizontal position of the main beehive and extend them into the (52) retreat grooves of the cushion frame. At this time, remove the cushion frame and the hook and pull group, and at the same time take out the honeycomb rack support frame units with the honeycombs collected from the upper end. After disinfection, these honeycomb rack support frame units are cyclically connected to the lowest end of the series-connected honeycomb rack support frame assembly. After the connection is completed, put the cushion frame back into the lowest end of the new series-connected honeycomb rack support frame assembly, pull out the four (59) clamping rods, slowly straighten the main beehive, close each (5) box door and lock the (6) top plate, and the honey collection operation is completed.

Anyone can derive other forms of new beehives and working methods that are convenient for collecting honey and suitable for the habits of bees under the enlightenment of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
