Abstract

The invention discloses a bee sweet water feeder, which belongs to the field of bee feeding devices and comprises a sweet water box (1), a floater (2) and an ingestion opening adjusting baffle (3). An ingestion opening adjusting baffle (3) is installed on the upper portion of the feeder floater (2), and the size of the feeding ingestion opening can be adjusted and complemented by adjusting the ingestion opening adjusting baffle (3), so that the number of ingestion bees is limited, and the feeding requirements of different bee colonies under different conditions are met. The technical problem to be solved by the invention is to provide the feeding device which is provided with the size-adjustable feeding openings, so that the specific number of bees to be fed is controlled, and feeding under different conditions during a bee feeding period is met. Compared with the prior art, the bee sweet water feeder has the advantages that the bee sweet water feeder is simple in structure, convenient to operate, free of damage to bees, free of sweet water residues and capable of preventing the bees from being stolen, the requirements for feeding the bees under various conditions can be met, and the bee sweet water feeder is of great significance in promoting bee breeding.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to beekeeping equipment, specifically to a sugar water feeder that can control the number of foraging bees in the field of beekeeping tools. Background Art

[0002] During the process of beekeeping, feeding sugar water is an important link. Feeding is divided into incentive feeding and supplementary feeding, and feeding should be carried out according to the specific strength of the bee colony and the nectar flow situation in the outside world. The existing feeders currently have cumbersome operations, cannot control the number of foraging bees according to specific requirements, and cannot meet the feeding requirements in beekeeping. Especially during the incentive feeding period, the existing feeders can only add sugar water in small amounts and frequently for incentive feeding, resulting in a large labor intensity. Moreover, during the feeding period, bees swarm to eat, the feeding time is short, and the excitement time of bees is short, so the incentive feeding effect cannot be maximized. On the other hand, since the area of the feeding port cannot be adjusted, weak colonies are prone to robbing bees during feeding. The present invention solves a series of problems of the existing bee sugar water feeder in bee sugar water feeding. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a feeder that can control the number of specific foraging bees by setting an adjustable feeding port size, so as to meet the feeding requirements in different situations during bee breeding.

[0004] The advantages of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows: It provides a bee sugar water feeder with a simple structure, convenient operation, no drowning of bees, no residual sugar water, and anti-robbing bee function, which can meet the needs of feeding bee sugar water in various situations and is of great significance to promoting beekeeping. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0006] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0007] With reference to the accompanying drawings, a bee sugar water feeder includes a sugar water box (1), a float (2), and a feeding port adjusting baffle (3). The sugar water box (1) is used to hold sugar water. A float cavity (22) is provided below the float (2). When the sugar water is poured into the sugar water box, the float will float on the sugar water. The float is provided with a supplementary feeding port (241) and a rewarding feeding port (242). Bees feed on the sugar water through the feeding ports provided on the float. When the sugar water is consumed, the float will drop along with the sugar water level. Since support legs (21) are provided at the lower part of the float, a space for bees to move is formed between the lower part of the float and the bottom of the sugar water box. When the sugar water is substantially consumed, bees will enter the lower part of the float through the bee path (231) provided on the feeding port and clean up the remaining sugar water in the bottom of the sugar water box and the float cavity in the lower part of the float. A feeding port adjusting baffle (3) is installed on the upper part of the float of the feeder. By rotating the feeding port adjusting baffle, the size of the supplementary feeding port can be adjusted, so as to limit the number of feeding bees and meet the feeding requirements of different bee colonies under different circumstances. When the feeding port baffle is placed upside down by 180 degrees, it can block all the supplementary feeding ports (241) and only leave the rewarding feeding port (242). A bee path (232) is also provided on the rewarding feeding port. Bees enter the lower space of the float through this bee path and clean up the remaining sugar water.

[0008] The above description of the present invention and its embodiments is intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. The feeders described in the above description all refer to sugar water feeders.
