Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bee breeding, in particular to nest doors around the bottom of a beehive. Background Art
[0002] Beehives are needed for artificial breeding of bees. Beehives are artificial structures for bees to reproduce and store honey and other products during beekeeping. They are basic tools in the beekeeping industry. Beehives are designed to be rectangular or other shaped boxes suitable for bees to live in, and can accommodate honeycombs built by bees. The structure of the beehive facilitates bee colony management and honey harvesting, and also provides protection for bees from bad weather and natural enemies.
[0003] A beehive door is set up to allow bees to enter and exit the beehive easily. The door is usually designed at the bottom of the beehive. The design of the bottom allows worker bees to enter directly from the bottom when they return from collecting nectar, pollen or water, reducing physical exertion after flight. Since the collecting bees carry heavy objects, if the entrance is set at a higher position, the tired bees may need more energy to enter the beehive, while the bottom entrance allows them to climb in easily, improving work efficiency. The bottom entrance helps promote air circulation in the beehive. Fresh air can enter from the bottom, while warmer and more humid air is discharged from the vents at the top. The natural convection formed in this way helps maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity inside the beehive and prevent diseases and mold growth.
[0004] The existing beehive bottom nest door is not convenient for flexibly managing the bees entering and exiting the beehive during use, which reduces the efficiency of guiding the bees and affects the efficient breeding of bees. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a nest door around the bottom of a beehive, which has the advantage of good flexibility and solves the problem that the existing nest door at the bottom of the beehive is not convenient for flexible management of bees entering and leaving the beehive during use, reduces the guiding efficiency of the bees, and affects the efficient breeding of bees.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: the beehive bottom is surrounded by nest doors, including a door body, the door body is respectively provided with a first entrance and exit channel and a second entrance and exit channel, the second entrance and exit channel completely passes through the door body, and the rear side of the door body is provided with an arched hole, which is connected to the first entrance and exit channel.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the beehive bottom perimeter nest door of the utility model, mounting holes are provided on both left and right sides of the top of the door body.
[0008] As a preferred method for the nest doors around the bottom of the beehive of the utility model, the number of the arched holes is several.
[0009] As a preferred method for the nest doors around the bottom of the beehive of the utility model, the size of the first entrance and exit channel is larger than that of the second entrance and exit channel.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the beehive doors around the bottom of the beehive of the present invention, the second entrance and exit channel is located on one side of the first entrance and exit channel and a partition is provided at the connection.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. The utility model can achieve refined management of the entry and exit of the bee colony by setting the first entry and exit channel and the second entry and exit channel. The larger first entry and exit channel may be used to guide the worker bees to enter and exit efficiently, while the smaller second entry and exit channel may be used for entry and exit control in specific circumstances, such as when it is necessary to limit the activity range of the bee colony or perform specific management operations.
[0013] 2. The utility model provides a plurality of arched holes to guide bees entering and exiting the first entrance and exit channel to prevent the bees from crowding each other. The mounting holes on the left and right sides of the top are designed to facilitate the fixing and disassembly of the nest door, making it more convenient and quick for beekeepers to perform daily management, cleaning or seasonal adjustments.
[0014] 3. The utility model can block the queen bee by setting an arched hole, so that the queen bee cannot pass through, while the worker bees can enter and exit freely. The second entrance and exit channel is the queen bee door, which is used for the queen bee's tail mating and the drones to enter and exit. Because the queen bee and the drones have a larger system, they cannot enter and exit from the arched hole. The first entrance and exit channel and the second entrance and exit channel are a group of nest door structures, which can be used with partitions to separate the beehive and provide a channel for the bees to enter and exit. The beekeeper blocks, closes or opens the first channel and the second channel according to the needs of breeding. Each separated space inside the beehive has a group of independent nest doors.
[0015] 4. The first and second entrance and exit channels of the utility model are a set of nest doors, which form an independent space through partitions for the entry and exit of the bee colony. When the second entrance and exit channel is closed, the first entrance and exit channel can only be used for the worker bees to prevent the queen bee from escaping under certain circumstances. When used as a mating box, the second entrance and exit channel should be opened to facilitate the queen bee to enter and exit for mating.
[0016] 5. The practical nest door can be used in conjunction with the partition to form a mating box at any position of the beehive, and can be used for observation, identification and temporary rearing of queen bees, which is very practical. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
