Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bee breeding, in particular to a simple device for counting the parasitic rate of bee mites. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are 1,200 bee colonies in my country, of which two-thirds are western honey bees. Honey bees not only provide us with a variety of bee products such as honey, royal jelly, and bee pollen, but also help pollinate more than 75% of flowering plants in nature, maintain biodiversity, and ensure sustainable ecological development. The indirect economic value brought by pollination reaches 70 billion yuan each year. Therefore, the bee industry has huge economic and ecological benefits.

[0003] Varroa mite disease is one of the most common and serious parasitic diseases that attack western honey bees. Varroa mites mainly include Varroa mites (Varroa structor) and Tropilaelaps mites (Tropilaelaps mites). Varroa mites parasitize on the surface of bees and harm them by sucking their hemolymph and fat bodies. Bees infested by Varroa mites mainly show characteristics such as individual stunted development, broken wings, inability to fly, irritability, shortened lifespan, increased mortality, and decreased feeding and collecting abilities. Tropilaelaps mites mainly parasitize in large larval and pupal chambers, sucking the hemolymph of larvae and pupae for a living, and rarely parasitize on the bee body. The larvae and pupae of the affected bee colonies die in large numbers, rot and turn black, and even the young bees that emerge from the chambers have incomplete wings and cannot fly. At present, bee traps have become the most serious enemy that endangers the health of bees and the most prominent problem in bee breeding and production.

[0004] At present, the prevention and control of bee mites in my country follows the principle of "prevention first, comprehensive prevention and control". Accurately judging whether the bee colony is infected with bee mites and the degree of infection (parasitism rate) is an important step in the prevention and control of bee mites, which can greatly improve the prevention and control effect of bee mites.

[0005] Since individual bees are small, and individual bee mites are even smaller (0.6-1.8mm), it is too time-consuming and laborious to directly collect and count the number of bee mites in the bee colony. The solution in the prior art is to use alcohol or detergent liquid to count the parasitism rate of bee mites. The method is as follows: 1. Put a certain number of bees to be tested into a container filled with alcohol or detergent liquid; 2. Put the container into a shaker and shake it for 1 hour, take out the bees in the container, and count the number of bee mites in the soapy water. Finally, the parasitism rate of bee mites can be obtained by dividing the number of bee mites by the number of bees to be tested, but this method must rely on specific experimental equipment to be carried out, the operation is complicated, and it is not easy to implement.

[0006] Therefore, how to provide a detection device for counting the parasitism rate of bee mites that has a simple structure and is easy to operate is still a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by technicians in this field. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 2 , a simple device for counting the parasitism rate of bee mites, comprising:

[0023] A first container 10 and a second container 2 both of which are open at one end, and the two are detachably connected;

[0024] and a first filter screen 3 and a second filter screen 4, which are arranged in the second container 2 at an interval;

[0025] Several fixing devices are used to fix the first container 10 on the second container 2. In the utility model, a certain amount of dry icing sugar is prepared, and the dry white sugar is passed through a 50-mesh screen after being crushed by a grinder, and can be recycled. The first filter screen 3 is a 5-10 mesh filter screen, and the second filter screen 4 is a 50-mesh filter screen. A certain number of bees are placed in the first container 10, and icing sugar is poured in. The second container 2 is installed on the first container 10 through several fixing devices. The first container 10 is below the second container 2. The device is shaken, and the icing sugar separates the bee mites from the bees. After shaking for a period of time, the device is turned upside down, and the first container 10 is above the second container 2. The bees, bee mites and icing sugar in the first container 10 fall down, and the bees are intercepted on the first filter screen 3, and the bee mites are intercepted on the second filter screen 4. The icing sugar falls to the bottom of the second container 2, and the second container 2 is removed. The bees are taken out first. In the inverted device, the icing sugar and bee mites fall out of the second container 2. The number of bee mites is calculated and then divided by the number of bees to obtain the bee mite parasitism rate.
