AI Technical Summary
The existing bee feeder design causes bees to easily drown when pouring into boxes containing sugar water, causing a large number of bees to die.
A bee feeder is designed, including a box, a partition, a right-angle baffle and a long hole in and out. There are side grooves on the partition plate, and sugar water flows into the groove area, and bees can feed on the groove. The right-angle baffle limits the bees to fly out of the box from the long strips and directly enter the feeder, controlling the amount of bees to avoid drowning.
Through the design of partitions and side grooves, bees can safely take sugar water to avoid crowding and drowning; the right-angle baffle controls the feeding amount of bees, which improves the survival rate of bees.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bee breeding, in particular to a bee feeder. Background Art
[0002] Beekeeping is an organic part of modern large-scale agriculture and occupies an important position in my country's national economy. When beekeeping is carried out, the bees need to be fed. The previous feeder was just a box placed on a box with feeding liquid in it. When a large number of bees were feeding, they could easily fall into the sugar water, which would cause a large number of bees to die. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the problem that a large number of bees rush into a box filled with sugar water and drown, the utility model proposes a bee feeder, and the specific technical solution is as follows:
[0004] A bee feeder, comprising a box body and
[0005] A partition is provided inside the box body and is vertically parallel to the side wall of the box body. An entry and exit long strip hole is opened below the box body corresponding to the inner wall at one end of the box body and the partition. Bees enter the box body through the entry and exit long strip hole. A top surface groove is opened at the middle position of the top of the partition. A side groove is opened on the side wall of the partition. Sugar water is filled between the side of the partition with the side groove and the inner wall of the box body.
[0006] A right-angle baffle, the upper part of which covers the long strip hole and the partition, and the lower part of which extends into the sugar water.
[0007] Furthermore, the depth of the side groove is the same as the height of the partition.
[0008] Furthermore, the lower inner wall of the right-angle baffle is in contact with the partition, and the sugar water is located in the bottom area of the side groove, thereby limiting the contact area between the sugar water and the bees.
[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of sawtooth holes are opened in the middle of the right-angle baffle, and the side grooves are connected to the box body through the sawtooth holes, and the sugar water flows into the area of the side grooves through the sawtooth holes.
[0010] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] The utility model provides a partition inside the box body, and a side groove is opened on the partition. After sugar water flows into the area of the side groove, the bees can eat in the side groove, thereby avoiding crowding and bee theft. The right-angle baffle restricts the bees from flying out of the box body through the long strip entrance and exit hole and directly entering the feeder, thereby controlling the feeding amount of the bees and avoiding the bees from drowning.

[0018] 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.
[0019] Example 1: See Figure 1 The overall structure of a bee feeder shown in FIG. 1 includes a box body 1 and a partition 3. Figure 2 The box body 1 is provided with a partition 3 vertically parallel to the side wall of the box body 1, and an entry and exit long strip hole 4 is opened below the box body 1 corresponding to the inner wall of one end of the box body 1 and the partition 3. Bees enter the box body 1 through the entry and exit long strip hole 4. A top surface groove 5 is opened in the middle position of the top of the partition 3, and a side groove 6 is opened on the side wall of the partition 3. The bees pass through the long entry and exit hole and the top surface groove to enter the side groove 6. There is sugar water at the bottom of the side groove 6. The bees feed in the area of the side groove 6. After the bees finish feeding, the bees pass through the side groove 6, the top surface groove and the long entry and exit hole to enter the beehive below. Sugar water is filled between the side of the partition 3 with the side groove 6 and the inner wall of the box body 1 in the utility model; the right-angle baffle 2, the upper side of the right-angle baffle 2 covers the entry and exit long strip hole 4 and the partition 3, and the lower side of the right-angle baffle 2 extends into the sugar water.
[0020] In this embodiment, the depth of the side groove 6 is the same as the height of the partition 3, that is, the side groove 6 extends to the bottom of the partition 3, the lower inner wall of the right-angle baffle 2 is in contact with the partition 3, and the sugar water is located in the bottom area of the side groove 6, thereby limiting the contact surface between the sugar water and the bees. A plurality of serrated holes 7 are opened in the middle position of the right-angle baffle 2, and the side groove 6 is connected to the box body 1 through the serrated holes 7, and the sugar water flows into the area of the side groove 6 through the serrated holes 7.
[0021] In this embodiment, the size of the box body 1 is 34cm*51cm*10cm, the width of the long hole 4 is 1cm, the thickness of the middle partition 3 is 2cm, and the depth of the side groove 6 is 1cm. Figure 5 The bottom surface of the box body 1 is recessed inward by about 0.5 cm. The right-angle baffle 2 is made of a white right-angle plastic plate.
[0022] The utility model provides a partition 3 in a box body 1, and a side groove 6 is opened at the partition 3. After sugar water flows into the area of the side groove 6, bees can feed at the side groove 6 to avoid crowding and bee theft. The right-angle baffle 2 restricts the bees from flying out of the box body 1 from the long strip entrance and exit hole and directly entering the feeder, so as to control the feeding amount of the bees and prevent the bees from drowning.
[0023] In addition, the utility model solves the problem of repeatedly opening the boxes to feed bees, which will affect the heat preservation effect of the bees. Especially in early spring and autumn, the utility model is beneficial for beekeepers to manage bee colonies in large quantities and save time.
[0024] The basic principles and main features of the utility model are described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which shall fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection of the utility model shall be defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
