Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beekeeping equipment, in particular to a combined nest frame and a beehive. Background Art

[0002] In the bee production process, the queen bee lays eggs in the lower part of the comb (the brooding area), and the worker bees store honey in the upper part of the comb (the honey storage area). This efficient production layout enables the bees to reproduce and store food effectively, ensuring the survival and development of the bee colony. However, when harvesting honey combs, if the brood combs and honey combs are mixed together, bee larvae may be mixed into the honey during the honey shaking or honey pressing process, which will not only affect the quality of the honey, but also affect the development of the larvae, causing the colony to decline.

[0003] There are currently two common methods for separating brood combs and honey combs in production: one is the queen-locking method, which is to lock up the queen bee and stop her from laying eggs on the comb. However, this method must be used under strict conditions of good weather, suitable temperature, good nectar source, and sufficient bees. Otherwise, locking up the queen bee and stopping her from laying eggs will accelerate the decline of the bee colony. The second is the super breeding method, which uses the characteristic of bees to store honey upwards. Beekeepers usually add a queen excluder and a shallow super to the standard nest box. This method allows worker bees to brew and store honey in the shallow super first, which to a certain extent achieves separation from the brooding area below.

[0004] The existing standard nest boxes used for super breeding are generally provided with an integral nest frame. For example, Chinese patent CN201610903023.2 provides a double-frame nested beehive with a super, which includes four super frames (shallow supers), four lower box frames (standard nest boxes), upper nest frames and lower nest frames. The upper nest frames are arranged in the four super frames, and the lower nest frames are arranged in the four lower box frames. The lower nest frames are integral structures. In actual production, the honeycombs on the nest frames of the standard nest boxes will also form a situation where honey is stored at the top and eggs are laid at the bottom. Since the nest frames in the standard nest boxes are an integral structure, when harvesting honey combs, the integral nest frames in the standard nest boxes need to be removed as a whole for honey shaking. The honey combs at the top of the honeycombs formed on the integral nest frames are not completely separated from the brood combs at the top of the honeycombs, which affects the quality of honey and the development of larvae.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a combined nest frame to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, and can better and more conveniently separate the honey comb and the brood comb, thereby ensuring the quality of honey, and reducing the damage to the honeycomb in the brooding area and the influence on the development of larvae; it is easy to use.

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] The present embodiment provides a combined nest frame 100, comprising at least one shallow super frame 1 and at least one combined frame 2, wherein: each shallow super frame 1 is used to be detachably connected to a shallow super box 3; each combined frame 2 includes a first frame body 201 and a second frame body 202, and the lower end of each first frame body 201 can be detachably fixedly connected to the upper end of a second frame body 202, and each combined frame 2 is used to be arranged in a standard nest box 4. The combined frame 2 in the combined nest frame 100 includes two frames, a first frame body 201 and a second frame body 202, and the first frame body 201 and the second frame body 202 are detachably connected. When the bees store honey at the upper end of the combined frame 2 and lay eggs at the bottom of the combined frame 2, the first frame body 201 can be disassembled and taken out to shake or squeeze honey, and a new first frame body 201 can be replaced, so that the separation of honey combs and brood combs can be achieved better and more conveniently, thereby ensuring the quality of honey, reducing the damage to the honeycombs in the laying area, and reducing the impact on the development of larvae. At the same time, the shallow successor frame 1 and the first frame body 201 in the combined nest frame 100 can both be used to store honey, which is beneficial to increase the number of honey combs produced; and the shallow successor frame 1 and the shallow super box 3 are detachably connected. When taking honey, only the shallow successor frame 1 honeycomb can be removed, and a new shallow successor frame 1 can be replaced in the shallow super box 3, which is convenient for application. Specifically, when winter honey is produced, the outside temperature is low, and the bee colony has the characteristic of shrinking the bee group downward, and the number of bees on the shallow super box 3 is insufficient. One of the feasible measures is to form a beehive only by combining the combined frame 2 and the standard nest box 4, and store honey through the first frame body 201, and lay eggs through the second frame body 202; when non-winter honey is produced, the shallow successor frame 1 can be installed on the shallow super box 3, and the shallow super box 3 can be set at the upper end of the standard nest box 4, and honey can be stored through the shallow successor frame 1 and the first frame body 201, and eggs can be laid through the second frame body 202.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the shallow follow-up frame 1 is not in direct contact with the combination frame 2 .

[0031] In the present embodiment, a first connecting beam 5 is also included, each of which is detachably fixedly connected to a first connecting beam 5, and each first connecting beam 5 is used to be detachably connected to the shallow super box 3. When the shallow super frame 1 is capped by more than 80%, it is only necessary to remove the shallow super frame 1 to extract the honey, and replace the new shallow super frame 1 to the first connecting beam 5. It is not necessary to set a connection structure with the shallow super box 3 on each shallow super frame 1, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the shallow super frame 1. It should be noted that capping means that after the bees collect nectar, their salivary gland secretions are loaded into the nest cells, and after brewing and dehydration, the water content is reduced to less than 20%, and disaccharides are fully converted into monosaccharides, and the total content of glucose and fructose reaches more than 70%. When the honey matures naturally and has the corresponding nutrients, the bees will cap it with beeswax, which becomes the so-called "capped honey".

[0032] In this embodiment, each combination frame 2 further includes a second connecting beam 6, and the upper end of each first frame 201 can be detachably fixedly connected to a second connecting beam 6 or a shallow frame 1, and each second connecting beam 6 is used to be detachably fixedly connected to the standard nest box 4. It is not necessary to set a connection structure with the standard nest box 4 on each first frame 201, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the first frame 201.

[0033] In this embodiment, there are multiple combination frames 2, and each second frame 202 can be detachably fixedly connected to a first connecting beam 5. When producing winter honey, the outside temperature is low, and the bee colony has the characteristic of shrinking the bee group downward, resulting in insufficient bees or even no bees on the shallow super box 3 and failure to produce honey combs. Another feasible solution is to set one of the multiple second frames 202 of the sub-area in the shallow super box 3 through the first connecting beam 5, and use the habit of bees to protect their offspring to increase the number of bees on the shallow super box 3, so as to better produce honey on the shallow super box 3, and the remaining second frames 202 of the sub-area are used for laying offspring.

[0034] In this embodiment, a first protrusion 101 is provided at the upper end of each shallow relay frame 1, and a first groove 501 is provided at the lower end of each first connecting beam 5. The number of the first protrusions 101 and the first grooves 501 are the same, and there are at least one first protrusion 101 and one first groove 501. All the first protrusions 101 on each shallow relay frame 1 are used to be respectively clamped in all the first grooves 501 of a first connecting beam 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, a second protrusion 2011 is provided at the upper end of each first frame body 201, and a second groove 601 is provided at the lower end of each second connecting beam 6. The number of the second protrusions 2011 and the second grooves 601 are the same, and there is at least one second protrusion 2011 and second groove 601. The second protrusion 2011 of each first frame body 201 is used to be respectively clamped in all the second grooves 601 of a second connecting beam 6.

[0036] In this embodiment, the lower end of each first frame 201 is provided with a third groove 2012, and the upper end of each second frame 202 is provided with a third protrusion 2021. The number of the third protrusion 2021 and the third groove 2012 is the same, and the number of the third protrusion 2021 and the third groove 2012 is at least one. All the third protrusions 2021 of each second frame 202 can be respectively snapped into all the third grooves 2012 of a first frame 201, and all the third protrusions 2021 of each second frame 202 can be respectively snapped into all the first grooves 501 of a first connecting beam 5. The first protrusion 101 and the first groove 501, the second protrusion 2011 and the second groove 601, the third protrusion 2021 and the third groove 2012, and the third protrusion 2021 and the first groove 501 can form a mortise and tenon structure, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, there are two first protrusions 101 on each shallow relay frame 1, two first grooves 501 on each first connecting beam 5, two second protrusions 2011 and three grooves 2012 on each first frame body 201, two second grooves 601 on each second connecting beam 6, and two third protrusions 2021 on each second frame body 202. Each shallow relay frame 1, each first frame body 201, and each second frame body 202 are rectangular. The upper and lower ends of the two vertical frame bars of each shallow relay frame 1, each first frame body 201, and each second frame body 202 have only corresponding protrusions and grooves, respectively.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, the length of the first connecting beam 5 is greater than the length of the shallow super frame 1, the length of the second connecting beam 6 is greater than the length of the first frame body 201, and the parts of the first connecting beam 5 at both ends that extend beyond the shallow super frame 1 and the parts of the second connecting beam 6 at both ends that extend beyond the first frame body 201 form frame ears, thereby completing the overlap with the shallow super box 3 and the standard nest box 4 respectively.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting groove 401 is disposed on the inner wall of the top of the first frame body 201 , and the extending direction of the mounting groove 401 is parallel to the horizontal direction.
