Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beehive design, in particular to a beehive door anti-theft device. Background Art
[0002] Bee theft refers to flying bees that sneak into the original Chinese honey bee hives from other bee colonies to steal the stored honey. Since the introduction of Western honey bees (Italian honey bees) into my country in the early 20th century, local Chinese honey bee colonies are easily targeted by Western honey bees due to their disadvantage in interspecies competition, especially when external honey and pollen sources are lacking or exhausted. Once a bee colony is theft, the stored honey will be stolen in the least severe cases, and the entire Chinese honey bee colony will flee. Bee theft has become one of the main reasons why the distribution range of Chinese honey bees in my country is gradually shrinking and some areas are facing an endangered situation. Therefore, in-depth research is needed to prevent Chinese honey bee hives from being stolen by other bees.
[0003] In response to this, some people have designed various anti-theft structures. The most common one is to install anti-theft measures on the beehive door, such as extension tubes, etc. Patent announcement number CN206821686U discloses an anti-theft beehive door device, including a gauze cavity formed by a plurality of gauze meshes, the gauze cavity is provided with a bee entrance channel for bees to enter and a bee exit for bees to fly out, the bee exit is used to connect with the nest door of the beehive, the bee entrance channel is tubular, the diameter of the inlet of the bee entrance channel is smaller than the diameter of the outlet of the bee entrance channel, the diameter of the inlet of the bee entrance channel is 0.33 to 0.35 cm for worker bees to enter and exit, and the diameter of the outlet of the bee entrance channel is 0.60 to 0.61 cm, which can effectively prevent the invasion of thieves. However, the structure of the device does not conform to its description in actual use. The description that "after foreign wild bees fly into the gauze cavity 1 through the bee entrance channel 2, they cannot adapt to the environment inside the gauze cavity 1 and cannot find the entrance to the beehive, and cannot fly into the beehive. In the gauze cavity, the wild bees will be recognized and killed by the worker bees of the beehive" is not possible for western honey bees, so a more reasonable anti-theft structure is needed.

[0014] Note: By setting up the transition ring, the original Chinese bees in the beehive can gradually become familiar with the internal environment of the anti-theft base, thereby avoiding entering the induction channel.
[0015] Furthermore, the inner wall diameter of the inner ring is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the width of the connection between the Chinese bee channel and the induction channel.
[0016] Description: By reducing the diameter of the inner ring, the possibility of larger stealing bees entering the beehive is reduced.
[0017] Furthermore, a sticky plate is provided at the rear side of the bottom of the anti-theft base corresponding to the induced capture port, and the bottom of the anti-theft base is rotatably connected to the bottom of the beehive door through a rotating hinge.
[0018] Note: The sticky board can be used to capture the thief bees that enter the induced channel.
[0019] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0020] (1) The utility model provides a Chinese beehive door anti-theft device that changes the external environment of the nest door so that thieving bees cannot directly enter the beehive through the nest door, thereby playing a buffering role and reducing the thieving nature of thieving bees. At the same time, the anti-theft base structure of the utility model is stable and waterproof. By setting up a Chinese bee channel and an induction channel, thieving bees can be induced to enter the wrong channel, avoiding entering the beehive and trapping at the same time, effectively reducing the risk of thieving bees entering the bee colony.
[0021] (2) The utility model provides a Chinese beehive door anti-theft device, which enables the Chinese bees inside the beehive to gradually adapt to the environment of the anti-theft base by providing a transition ring between the Chinese bee channel and the induction channel, thereby preventing the Chinese bees from flying to the wrong channel.

[0043] The inner wall diameter of the inner ring 42 is 1 / 3 of the width of the connection between the Chinese bee channel 2 and the induction channel 3.
[0044] Working principle:
[0045] The following is a brief description of the working principle of a beehive door anti-theft device of the utility model. When in use, first install the anti-theft device in Example 1, such as Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the transition ring 4 is not installed at this time, which is to enable the Chinese bees inside the beehive to quickly adapt to the internal environment of the anti-theft base 1, so that they can enter and exit through the Chinese bee channel 2 and the end of the induction channel 3. The Chinese bee entrance and exit 31 prevents them from entering the induction channel 3 and the induction capture port 32. This process lasts for 1 to 2 days. After the Chinese bees gradually become familiar with the internal environment of the anti-theft base 1, the transition ring 4 is installed according to Example 2. At this time, the transition ring 4 only has an outer ring 41, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, it is equivalent to reducing the width of the connection between the Chinese bee channel 2 and the induction channel 3 to prevent the thief bees from entering the Chinese bee channel 2 through this. This process also requires the Chinese bees to gradually adapt, which lasts for 1 to 2 days. Finally, the inner ring 42 is installed according to Example 3. Figure 2 As shown, it is equivalent to further reducing the width of the connection between the Chinese bee channel 2 and the induction channel 3, which can better prevent the thief bees from entering the Chinese bee channel 2 through this. At the same time, the Chinese bees inside the beehive are very familiar with the internal environment of the anti-theft base 1, so they will not fly into the induction channel 3 and the induction capture port 32. At this time, the sticky plate 5 is installed to capture the thief bees that enter the induction channel 3 and the induction capture port 32.
[0046] When installing the inner ring 42 and the outer ring 41 of the transition ring 4, it is necessary to extend through the central bee entrance 31, dock the limit strip 43 with the slide groove 21 and put it in, and dock the second limit strip 44 with the limit groove and put it in.
[0047] At present, the commonly used beehive nest door is generally located at the bottom, and the bottom plate of the box in the direction of the nest door exceeds a part of the box body to form a transition platform for the Chinese bees to do a short buffer crawl when entering and exiting the nest door. Therefore, when installing the anti-theft device of the utility model, it is necessary to saw off a part of the transition platform and then install it; when the threat of stealing bees around the beehive is reduced, the anti-theft device can also be opened by rotating the hinge 6 downward, and the sawed-off part of the platform can be reinstalled, so that the Chinese bees can directly enter and exit the beehive nest door quickly, which also reflects the versatility of the utility model, and the Chinese bee inlet and outlet 31 is not facing directly downward, but slightly tilted downward to comply with the biological movement law of the Chinese bees. The angle between the anti-theft base 1 and the horizontal plane is preferably 35-50°, preferably 40°.
