Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to bee breeding technology and bee scientific research fields, in particular to a bee feeding device. Background Art

[0002] Bee feed is necessary to maintain the normal life activities and development of the bee colony. When the external nectar source is insufficient, it will cause the queen bee to lay fewer eggs and the larvae to develop poorly, seriously affecting the development of the bee colony. In addition, it will cause premature aging of the bees and reduce the ability to secrete royal jelly and beeswax. Therefore, during the bee colony breeding period, if the external pollen source is lacking, the bee colony must be supplemented with pollen or other protein feed. In this case, the bees need to be fed.

[0003] The existing feeding device requires that the solid diet for bees be fed directly into the bee feeder, which is very troublesome. Improper operation may cause the bees to run away, and the bee activities may also cause the diet in the tube to spill out. If the bee breeding space is not changed for a long time during feeding, it is easy to pollute the environment inside the feeder and cause bee diseases.

[0004] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed for the problems in the related technologies. Summary of the invention

[0005] In response to the problems in the related art, the utility model proposes a bee feeding device, in which solid feed is loaded into a feeder, and a food grid is provided on the outside of the food tube to prevent food from splashing out due to the activities of the bees, but it will not damage the bee's beak. At the same time, it ensures that the bees have sufficient nectar sources without damaging the bee body and ensuring the environmental hygiene in the feeder.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A bee feeding device comprises a feeding tube and a fixed slot connected to the outside of the feeding tube, wherein a feeding grid is sandwiched between the feeding tube and the fixed slot.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to facilitate bees to absorb food, a feeding opening is provided on the bottom of the feeding tube and the bottom of the fixed slot. In order to strengthen the fixing effect and effectively prevent the feed from spilling, the height of the feeding opening on the feeding tube is lower than the height of the feeding opening on the fixed slot.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the addition of feed and effectively prevent splashing, the rightmost end of the diet tube and the fixed slot is a diet feed port, and a diet tube cover is provided on the outside of the diet feed port.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the bees to take food while effectively preventing the food in the feeder from spilling out and not damaging the bees' beaks, thereby ensuring the quality of the bees, a food grid is sandwiched between the food tube and the fixed slot.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] 1. The utility model has a reasonable and reliable structure, the device is simple and convenient to manufacture, and an appropriate amount of food can be added by opening the food opening, which saves time and effort, and can effectively prevent food from splashing, thereby effectively controlling the sanitation of the bee feeding environment.

[0013] 2. By setting a food grid between the food tube and the fixed slot, it is convenient for the bees to take food without damaging their beaks. It can also effectively prevent food from spilling due to bee activities and pollute the overall bee breeding environment.

[0014] 3. By controlling the height of the feeding opening on the feeding tube to be lower than the height of the feeding opening on the fixed card slot, it is possible to avoid spilling of food onto the fixed card slot when adding food, and also to better enhance the protective power of the fixed card slot on the feeding tube.

The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0022] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a bee feeding device is provided.

[0023] The present invention is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a diet tube 1 and a fixed slot 2 connected to the outside of the diet tube 1, a diet grid 3 is provided between the diet tube 1 and the fixed slot 2, a diet opening 4 is provided on the bottom of the diet tube 1 and the bottom of the fixed slot 2, a diet feed opening 5 is provided at the right end of the diet tube 1 and the fixed slot 2, and a diet tube cover 6 is provided on the outside of the diet feed opening 5.

[0024] With the help of the above-mentioned technical scheme of the utility model, the new structure is reasonable and reliable, the device is simple and convenient to manufacture, and there is no need to worry about the feeding tube sliding due to contact with the feeding device when the bees are feeding. The right amount of food can be added by opening the feeding port, which saves time and effort, and can effectively prevent food from splashing, thereby effectively controlling the sanitation of the bee feeding environment.

[0025] In one embodiment, for the food opening 4, the height of the food opening at the bottom of the food tube 1 is lower than the height of the food opening on the fixed slot 2, thereby preventing food from spilling onto the fixed slot when adding food, and also better strengthening the protection of the fixed slot for the food tube.

[0026] In one embodiment, the food grid 3 is made of a material with holes, which can effectively prevent food from being spilled due to bee activities, causing food waste and polluting the bee living space, and can also effectively avoid damage to the bee's beak when the bee is feeding.

[0027] In one embodiment, the fixed card slot 2 has a high degree of fit with the feeding tube, thereby preventing the feeding tube from sliding when the bees are feeding on the feeder, preventing the bees from being pinched, and reducing the phenomenon of decreased bee survival rate due to external influences.

[0028] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solution of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in the actual process is described in detail below.

[0029] In actual application, when the staff needs to feed the bees, they first open the diet tube cover 6, pour the diet from the diet feed port 5 into the diet tube 1, gently press the diet port 4 with their hands, and stand up the feeding device to let the diet slide to the bottom of the diet tube 1, then cover the diet tube cover 6, and put the feeding device into the beehive or bee cup to feed the bees.

[0030] In addition, the utility model provides a bee feeding device that can feed various types of bees such as honey bees, bumble bees, worker bees, etc. When feeding the above-mentioned bees, it can ensure that the bees will not spill food due to the activities of the bees in the food tube during the feeding process, thereby causing the bee breeding environment to be polluted, and it can also effectively avoid damage to the bee beak.

[0031] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical scheme of the utility model, the utility model has a reasonable and reliable structure, the device is simple and convenient to manufacture, and an appropriate amount of food can be added by opening the food opening, which saves time and effort. By controlling the height of the food opening on the food tube to be lower than the height of the food opening on the fixed card slot, it is avoided that food is spilled onto the fixed card slot 2 when adding food, and the protective force of the fixed card slot 2 on the food tube 1 can be better strengthened; by setting the food grid 3, while effectively preventing the waste of food spilled and polluting the living space of the bees due to the activities of the bees in the food tube, it can also effectively avoid damage to the bee beak when the bees are feeding; by strengthening the fit between the fixed card slot and the food tube, the food tube is avoided from sliding when the bees are feeding on the feeder, the bees are prevented from being pinched, and the phenomenon of decreased survival rate of the bees due to external influences is reduced, the work efficiency of personnel is improved while ensuring the quality of the bees.
