Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bumblebee breeding, in particular to a bumblebee feeder. Background Art

[0002] Bumblebees are beneficial insects. They play a certain role in the pollination of agricultural and forestry crops, forage grass, Chinese herbal medicine and wild plants. In particular, they have a significant effect on the pollination of forage grass. Some countries have begun to artificially breed bumblebees. Using bumblebees to pollinate greenhouse vegetables has a high pollination rate and low cost, which can increase yields and improve the quality of fruits and vegetables. The fruits pollinated by bumblebees have good shapes and fewer deformed fruits. It can also solve the problem of hormone pollution caused by chemical pollination and has high economic value.

[0003] Announcement No. (CN218604573U) discloses a highly efficient bee feeding device. The cover is opened, the switch valve is closed, sugar water is poured into the interior of the storage box, and the height of the sugar water is added to the position of the scale line, and then the cover is closed and the switch valve is opened. At this time, the sugar water flows into the interior of the feeding box through the feed pipe and the discharge pipe, and then the sugar water inside the feeding box will float the float plate, and then drive the lifting rod and the block to rise, so that the block can block the discharge pipe, so that the sugar water will not be added to the interior of the feeding box all at once, avoiding the bees from drowning. The height of the sugar water in the feeding box exceeds the height of the bees, and the bees may still drown, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
