Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a drone pupa rapid time-limited production controller, belonging to the technical field of control devices for drone pupa production in the beekeeping industry. Background Art
[0002] The drone pupa of honey bees is a high-protein food. Long-term consumption has a health-care effect and can also relieve human fatigue. Although drone pupae can be used for medicinal purposes, they are also a delicacy. Eating bee pupae is very popular in many places. It is delicious and can also bring benefits to the human body, so it is very popular and has a promising market prospect. At present, the technology for producing drone pupae is to use traditional wax drone nests, so that honey bees can deepen and build spleens on the basis of wax drone nests. After the honeycomb is made, the queen bee lays eggs in the drone nest. After the eggs hatch after a certain period of time, the honey bees cap the drone nests. After the capping reaches the specified number of days, the drone pupae are harvested. When harvesting drone pupae, the capping wax should be cut with a cutter first, and then the drone pupae are poured out. However, when the capping wax is cut with a cutter, the drone pupae in the honeycomb will inevitably be cut due to the low strength of the natural wax drone nest and easy to deform, which affects the quality and production efficiency of the drone pupae.
[0003] On the other hand, the 21st day after the drone lays eggs is the best time to collect drone pupae, as the hardness and glossiness of the drone pupae at this time are the best. Grasping the collection time is the key to producing high-standard drone pupae; if the collection time is too early, the pupae will have too much water content and be too tender, which makes it very inconvenient to store and transport. If the collection time is too late, the pupae will gradually turn gray and hard, and the color and nutrition will be much worse, so the time to collect drone pupae is very important. However, due to the habit of laying eggs by drones, drones must first build nests when laying eggs, and a large amount of honey is consumed during the nesting process. After the nest is built, it takes about 4 days for the queen bee to lay eggs. Since the egg-laying time is not on the same day, the time for harvesting drone pupae cannot be unified to the optimal time of 21 days. In addition, if the food reserves of the bee colony cannot be sufficiently guaranteed, the worker bees will give up feeding the drones due to food shortages, resulting in the quality of the drone pupae not being guaranteed; and some drones only lay eggs in some nests, resulting in low production efficiency of drone pupae; even worse, some drones do not build nests or have problems with nest changes due to depression, resulting in the inability to produce drone pupae. Therefore, in order to ensure the production quality and efficiency of drone pupae, it is necessary to make artificial nests to artificially intervene in the habit of queen bee egg-laying to ensure the production quality and efficiency of drone pupae. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a reusable nest made of plastic in view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art. The queen bee does not need to build a nest when laying eggs, which promotes the queen bee to complete the laying of eggs in all nests within one day, ensures that the harvesting time of drone pupae is unified to the optimal harvesting time of 21 days, and uses a special honey-cutting knife to cut open the cover for harvesting during the harvesting, which not only saves the production cost and time of drone pupae, but also avoids the bees from consuming a large amount of honey during the nesting process, resulting in the queen bee laying eggs only in part of the nest, resulting in a drone pupae rapid time-limited production controller that solves the problem of low drone pupae production efficiency.
[0005] The utility model achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions:
[0006] The drone pupa rapid time-limited production controller is composed of a controller frame, a plastic honeycomb and a controller cover, and is characterized in that a plastic honeycomb is fixedly installed inside the controller frame, and the two outer side surfaces of the plastic honeycomb are on the same plane as the two side surfaces of the controller frame; the controller cover consists of two pieces, which are movably installed on the two side surfaces of the controller frame and can be removed from the controller frame at any time.
[0007] The plastic honeycomb is composed of a honeycomb net and a middle partition. The honeycomb net has a through-hole structure. Each longitudinal or transverse bar of the honeycomb net is staggered with another adjacent longitudinal or transverse bar. The honeycomb net is composed of two pieces, which are fixed on both sides of the middle partition respectively.
[0008] Hanging handles are made at both ends of the controller frame, and fixing sockets are respectively made on both sides of the frame of the controller frame.
[0009] The controller cover is evenly provided with ventilation grooves; at least two queen bee casting openings are provided on one side of the controller cover; a longitudinal partition and a transverse partition are provided on the back of the controller cover, and the back of the controller cover is divided into at least two areas by the longitudinal partition and the transverse partition.
[0010] The height of the longitudinal partition and the transverse partition made on the back side of the controller cover is 1-2 cm.
[0011] The longitudinal partition and the transverse partition on the back side of the controller cover are made with fixed pins, and the diameter and position of the fixed pins are matched with the fixed sockets on the controller frame.
[0012] A sealing plate is arranged on the queen bee casting opening of the controller cover plate, and the sealing plate is inserted into the insertion holes on both sides of the queen bee casting opening through the sealing plate latches arranged on the sealing plate.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model compared with the prior art are:
[0014] The drone pupa rapid time-limited production controller uses a reusable nest made of plastic, so that the queen bee does not need to build a nest when laying eggs, saving the bees from consuming a large amount of honey in the process of building nests; it can completely change the queen bee's egg-laying habits, promote the queen bee to complete all nest laying eggs in one day, ensure that the harvesting time of drone pupae is unified to the best time of 21 days, and the nest cleaning is simple, which greatly saves the production cost of drone pupae and improves the production quality and production efficiency of drone pupae. It solves the problem that the existing production of drone pupae cannot ensure that drone pupae are uniformly harvested at the best harvesting time of 21 days, resulting in the product quality of drone pupae cannot be guaranteed. The plastic nest of the drone pupa rapid time-limited production controller can be used repeatedly and permanently, solving the problem that bees do not build nests or change nests due to depression. This drone pupa rapid time-limited production controller increases production by about 30% compared with traditional methods, and solves the professional problem of impure genetic purity of honeybee king seeds, which has never been solved in honeybee breeding. It can artificially select selected varieties for hybridization, overcoming the problems of traditional natural hybridization such as many diseases, low immunity, slow reproduction, small bee colonies, poor quality of bee products, and low export yield of honeybee pupae.

[0025] The drone pupa rapid time-limited production controller is composed of a controller frame 1, a plastic honeycomb 2 and a controller cover 3. The plastic honeycomb 2 is fixedly installed in the frame of the controller frame 1, and the two outer sides of the plastic honeycomb 2 are on the same plane as the two side surfaces of the controller frame 1; the controller cover 3 is composed of two pieces, which are movably installed on the two side surfaces of the controller frame 1 and can be removed from the controller frame 1 at any time (see attached Figure 1 , 4 , 5, 7).
[0026] Furthermore, the two ends of the controller frame 1 are provided with hanging handles 102, which facilitate the controller to be hung in the beehive; the two side frames of the controller frame 1 are respectively provided with fixing sockets 101 for installing the controller cover 3 (see attached Figure 7 ).
[0027] Furthermore, the plastic honeycomb 2 is composed of a honeycomb net 201 and a middle partition 202. The honeycomb net has a through-hole structure. The honeycomb net 201 is composed of two pieces, which are fixed on both sides of the middle partition 202. The middle partition 202 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the controller frame 1. During production, the middle partition 202 and the controller frame 1 can be produced at one time. Each vertical or horizontal bar of the honeycomb net 201 has a staggered arrangement with another adjacent vertical or horizontal bar. The staggered arrangement ensures that the spacing between adjacent holes is minimized (see attached Figure 7 , 8 ).
