[0016] The present invention achieves the following technical effects compared to the prior art:

[0017] The invention comprises multiple feeding units housed within a light-proof, breathable, and insulated bag, providing a breathable, warm, and dark environment conducive to queen bee reproduction and egg laying. Each feeding unit within the bag can accommodate at least one feeding component, facilitating portability and enabling multi-layered, three-dimensional feeding. The four feeding boxes within each feeding component are grouped together, sharing a single feeder to supply food to the feeding holes of all four boxes.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bumblebee rearing device that can provide a dark rearing environment, ensure an adequate food supply, avoid wasting space in the early breeding process, improve bumblebee rearing efficiency, and reduce rearing costs.

[0029] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a bumblebee rearing device 100, including a light-proof, breathable, and heat-insulating bag and multiple rearing mechanisms. The multiple rearing mechanisms are arranged sequentially from bottom to top in the light-proof, breathable, and heat-insulating bag. Each rearing mechanism includes a tray body 5, a tray cover 6, and rearing components. The rearing components are disposed in the tray body 5. The tray body 5 is provided with ventilation holes 11. The tray cover 6 is used to cover the upper part of the tray body 5.

[0031] The rearing assembly includes a feeder and four rearing boxes 12. Each rearing box 12 includes a box body 121, a bottom plate 122, and a lid 1212. The lower part of the box body 121 is an open structure. The box body 121 is detachably mounted on the bottom plate 122. The box body 121 is provided with an operating opening, and the lid 1212 is used to close or open the operating opening. The box body 121 is provided with a ventilation opening 1211. The bottom plate 122 is provided with a waste trough 123, a breeding area 125, and a feeding area 128. A waste outlet 124 is provided at the waste trough 123. The breeding area 125... The tray 5 is equipped with a ring-shaped beehive containment enclosure 126 and an egg-laying inducer 127. The egg-laying inducer 127 is located in the ring-shaped beehive containment enclosure 126. The feeding area 128 is located at one corner of the bottom plate 122 of the box. The feeding area 128 is equipped with a feeding hole 1210. The four feeding boxes 12 are placed in the tray body 5. The feeding areas 128 of the four feeding boxes 12 are spliced ​​together to form a feeding area located in the center of the four feeding boxes 12. A feeder is provided at the bottom of the feeding area. The feeder can supply food to the feeding holes 1210 of the four feeding boxes 12.

[0032] Bumblebees are in a transitional evolutionary stage from solitary to social life. In the early stages of reproduction, there is only one queen bee, and a small space is sufficient to meet the egg-laying requirements. As the hive expands, worker bees continuously emerge from their cells, and the rearing space can be expanded further. Therefore, the rearing box 12 in this application is a miniature rearing box used for the early reproduction of bumblebee queens. It is small in size and easy to carry in the wild for capturing and holding bumblebee queens.

[0033] In this embodiment, multiple rearing mechanisms are placed in a light-proof, breathable, and heat-insulating bag, which provides a dark, breathable, and warm environment conducive to queen bee reproduction and egg laying. Each rearing mechanism within the light-proof, breathable, and heat-insulating bag can accommodate at least one rearing component, making it easy to carry and enabling multi-layer, three-dimensional rearing.

[0034] The four rearing boxes 12 in each rearing component are combined as a group and share a single feeder to supply food to the feeding holes 1210 of the four rearing boxes 12, improving rearing efficiency. Food can also be fed by opening the box lid 1212, ensuring the queen bee's nutritional supply during transportation or in the early stages of reproduction, and guaranteeing normal egg-laying. The bottom plate 122 of the rearing box 12 is equipped with a discharge trough 123, a breeding area 125, and a feeding area 128. The discharge trough 123 has a discharge outlet 124, located at the low point of the bottom plate 122, which conforms to the biological characteristic of bumblebees concentrating their excretion at low locations, while also preventing excrement from contaminating other areas. The breeding area 125 is equipped with a ring-shaped hive containment barrier 126 and an egg-laying inducer 127. The egg-laying inducer 127 is located within the ring-shaped hive containment barrier 126, which helps induce the queen bee to lay eggs and guide her to build a nest in a fixed location.

[0035] In use, a single rearing box 12 is taken out, and queen bees are captured in the wild for on-site rearing. Multiple rearing boxes 12 containing queen bees are placed in the tray body 5, and then the tray cover 6 is placed on top of the tray body 5. Multiple rearing units are then placed in a light-proof, breathable, and heat-insulating bag from bottom to top, thereby providing the queen bees with breeding space as early as possible, ensuring an ample food supply, and providing a dark rearing environment to ensure the queen bees' health and rapid egg laying. After the worker bees emerge from their cells, as the number of worker bees increases and the hive size expands, the hive, queen bees, and worker bees on the bottom plate 122 are transferred to a larger rearing box or pollination box to continue breeding. The box body 121 is separated from the bottom plate 122 to facilitate bumblebee colony transfer operations. At the same time, the box body 121 and the box cover 1212 can be reused, which helps to save bumblebee breeding costs. In this embodiment, the rearing box 12 is only used for the initial breeding of queen bees. It is small in size, easy to carry, avoids wasting space in the early breeding process, improves bumblebee breeding efficiency, and reduces breeding costs.

[0036] Specifically, the feeding area 128 is provided with upward-extending feeding steps 129, and the feeding hole 1210 is located at the top of the feeding steps 129. The feeding steps 129 of the four feeding boxes 12 are spliced ​​together to form a feeding chamber. Bumblebees can reach the feeding hole 1210 through the feeding steps 129 to obtain food.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the feeder includes a feeding shell 13 and a top cover 14. The feeding shell 13 is mounted on the tray body 5 and located in the feeding chamber. The upper part of the feeding shell 13 is open. The top cover 14 is located on the upper part of the feeding shell 13, and an opening is provided in the middle of the top cover 14. The feeding shell 13 contains liquid food. A cotton wick 15 is placed in the feeding shell 13. The lower part of the cotton wick 15 is immersed in the food, and the upper part of the cotton wick 15 extends to the outside through the opening and contacts the feeding holes 1210 of the four feeding boxes 12. In this embodiment, the opening is a circular hole, which is used to limit and fix the upper part of the cotton wick 15 to achieve stable placement of the cotton wick 15.

[0038] In this embodiment, the food contained in the feeding shell 13 is syrup, which is supplied to the feeding hole 1210 by the capillary action of the cotton wick 15. Bumblebees have the biological characteristic of concentrating their excretions at low locations. The feeding hole 1210 is located at the highest point and has a small area, making it inconvenient for excretion and thus preventing the syrup from being contaminated by excrement. At the same time, pollen can be fed by opening the box cover 1212 to ensure the queen bee's nutritional supply during transportation or in the early stages of reproduction.

[0039] Specifically, the structure of the feeder, when assembled with the feeding steps 129 of the four feeding boxes 12 to form a feeding cavity, is matched so that the feeder can be placed stably in the feeding cavity and prevent the feeder from tipping over and spilling syrup during transportation.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of discharge ports 124 are arranged sequentially at the discharge trough 123. The discharge ports 124 are strip-shaped discharge ports 124, and the arrangement direction of the plurality of discharge ports 124 is perpendicular to the length direction of the discharge ports 124.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the box 121 is provided with a plurality of air vents 1211 arranged in sequence. The air vents 1211 are strip-shaped air vents 1211, and the arrangement direction of the plurality of air vents 1211 is perpendicular to the length direction of the air vents 1211.

[0042] Specifically, the operating port is located on the top of the housing 121. Two first snap-fit ​​parts 1213 are provided on one side of the operating port, and a first snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the other side. A rotating shaft and an elastic buckle 1214 are respectively provided on both sides of the housing cover 1212. The two ends of the rotating shaft can be snapped into and rotatably installed in the two first snap-fit ​​parts 1213, and the elastic buckle 1214 can be snapped into the first snap-fit ​​groove. In this embodiment, the two ends of the rotating shaft can be removed from the two first snap-fit ​​parts 1213, or installed in the two first snap-fit ​​parts 1213, and can rotate relative to the two first snap-fit ​​parts 1213.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively snapped and rotatably installed in two first snap-fit ​​parts 1213. When it is necessary to open the box cover 1212, the elastic buckle 1214 is pulled to disengage it from the first snap-fit ​​groove, and the box cover 1212 can be opened. When it is necessary to close the box cover 1212, the box cover 1212 is rotated so that the elastic buckle 1214 is snapped into the first snap-fit ​​groove, realizing the snap-fit ​​between the box cover 1212 and the box body 121, preventing bumblebees from escaping.

[0044] In this embodiment, a second snap-fit ​​groove is provided on one side of the operating port, and the second snap-fit ​​groove is located between two first snap-fit ​​parts 1213. Two second snap-fit ​​parts 1217 are provided on the other side of the operating port, and the first snap-fit ​​groove is located between the two second snap-fit ​​parts 1217.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the pivot on one side of the box cover 1212 can be snapped and rotated into two first snap-fit ​​parts 1213 or two second snap-fit ​​parts 1217. By selectively installing the pivot on one side of the box cover 1212 into two first snap-fit ​​parts 1213 or two second snap-fit ​​parts 1217, after the four feeding boxes 12 in a feeding assembly are spliced ​​together, each box cover 1212 can be flipped up to the same side, so that pollen can be fed into different boxes from the same side, making the operation more convenient.

[0046] Specifically, when the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively engaged and rotated in the two second engaging parts 1217, when it is necessary to open the box cover 1212, the elastic buckle 1214 is pulled to disengage from the second engaging groove, and the box cover 1212 can be opened. When it is necessary to close the box cover 1212, the box cover 1212 is rotated so that the elastic buckle 1214 engages in the second engaging groove, thereby achieving the engagement between the box cover 1212 and the box body 121 and preventing bumblebees from escaping.

[0047] The bottom plate 122 is provided with multiple bottom buckles 1215, and the lower part of the box body 121 can be fastened to the bottom plate 122 by the multiple bottom buckles 1215.

[0048] The bottom of the hive bottom plate 122 is provided with multiple support legs 1216. By setting the support legs 1216, the bottom plate 122 of the hive is kept at an appropriate distance from the bottom surface of the tray body 5, which facilitates the bee colony's excrement. To facilitate the collection and cleaning of excrement, a receiving paper can be laid on the bottom surface of the tray body 5.

[0049] In this embodiment, the feeding box 12 is used for the initial reproduction of bumblebee queens. As worker bees emerge from their cells one after another, the support legs 1216 on the bottom plate 122 of the feeding box 12 are inserted into a large feeding box or pollination box. By gently pinching the lower part of the box body 121 of the feeding box 12, the box body 121 can be separated from the bottom buckle 1215. The bottom plate 122, along with the hive, queen bee, and worker bees, can be left in the large feeding box or pollination box, making it easy to complete the bumblebee colony transfer. The box body 121 can then be removed.

[0050] In this specific embodiment, the box body 121, the bottom plate 122, and the lid 1212 are all made of transparent plastic, which facilitates the feeding and observation of bumblebees and makes them easy to clean and disinfect. The box body 121 and the lid 1212 can be reused, effectively reducing the feeding cost.

[0051] The tray body 5 is provided with multiple tray buckles 9, and the tray cover 6 is provided with multiple cover slots 10. Each tray buckle 9 can be snapped into a cover slot 10, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the tray cover 6 and the tray body 5.

[0052] In this specific embodiment, the tray body 5 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 11, which are disposed on the annular sidewall of the tray body 5.

[0053] Specifically, the tray body 5 is provided with multiple feeding components, and the number of feeding components can be determined according to the size of the tray body 5. In this embodiment, the tray body 5 is provided with two feeding components.

[0054] The tray cover 6 is provided with multiple interlayer buckles 7, and the lower part of the tray body 5 is provided with multiple interlayer slots 8 that correspond one-to-one with the interlayer buckles 7. In two adjacent feeding mechanisms, each interlayer buckle 7 of the lower feeding mechanism is used to engage with an interlayer slot 8 of the upper feeding mechanism. Through the stacking of multiple feeding mechanisms, three-dimensional feeding is achieved.

[0055] In this embodiment, there are two tray buckles 9, with two tray openings symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the tray body 5. There are also two cover slots 10, with two cover slots 10 symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the tray cover 6.

[0056] In this embodiment, there are two interlayer buckles 7, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the tray cover 6. There are also two interlayer slots 8, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the lower part of the tray body 5.

[0057] Specifically, the light-blocking, breathable, and heat-insulating bag includes a bag body 1 and a bag lid 2, which are connected by a zipper 3. The bag body 1 is equipped with a handle 4. In this embodiment, the upper end of the bag body 1 is an open structure, and the bag lid is located at the upper end of the bag body 1.

[0058] In this embodiment, both the bag body 1 and the cover 2 are made of breathable dark-colored fabric. Insulation layers are provided on the bottom inner wall and the annular inner side wall of the bag body, thus providing a dark, breathable, and warm environment. Specifically, the insulation layer is made of pearl cotton.

[0059] The ventilation holes 1211 on the box body 121, the ventilation holes 11 on the tray body 5, and the light-proof, breathable, and heat-insulating bag with breathable properties ensure gas circulation during bumblebee rearing. Each rearing unit contains multiple rearing boxes 12, and the rearing units are connected by interlayer buckles 7 and interlayer slots 8. The light-proof, breathable, and heat-insulating bag can hold multiple rearing units, making it easy to carry and especially suitable for capturing large numbers of queen bees in the wild for on-site rearing.

[0060] The specific usage process is as follows: Open the box cover 1212, put the bumblebee queen into the feeding box 12, add pollen pellets to the breeding area 125, add syrup to the feeding shell 13, place multiple feeding components in the tray body 5, and use the tray buckle 9 and the cover slot 10 to engage so that the tray cover 6 is placed on the tray body 5. The bottom of the tray cover 6 and the tray body 5 limit the upper and lower ends of the feeding box 12, thereby fixing the feeding box 12. Lock the multi-layer feeding mechanism through the interlayer buckle 7 and the interlayer slot 8, put it into the bag body 1, and pull the zipper 3 to realize the on-site feeding and transportation of wild-caught queen bees.

[0061] Because the indoor environment for bumblebees is stable, the light-blocking, breathable, and heat-insulating bags can be removed, and the multi-layered rearing structure can be placed directly inside the bumblebee rearing room to achieve three-dimensional rearing. During the rearing process, feed should be changed and excrement cleaned in a timely manner. After the worker bees emerge from their cells, depending on the development of the bee colony, the honeycomb, queen bee, and worker bees on the bottom plate 122 of rearing box 12 can be promptly transferred to a larger rearing box or pollination box for continued rearing.

[0062] This specification uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
