[0002] Bee breeding usually involves placing a bee colony in a wooden box and allowing the bees to build a honeycomb in the box. Such a wooden box is called a beehive. Bees are social insects that usually consist of a queen bee, tens of thousands of worker bees, and a certain number of drone bees. The queen bee plays a leading role in the bee colony and is much larger in size than the worker bees and drone bees. The bee colony has the habit of migrating with changes in factors such as climate and nectar sources. After the bee colony has the mood to migrate, as long as the queen bee climbs out of the hive entrance, the entire bee colony will swarm out; and during the process of the bee colony about to migrate, as long as the queen bee cannot climb out of the box, the bee colony will not be able to escape the beehive led by the queen bee and can only fly back into the box.

[0003] The following problems will occur when the existing queen bee anti-escape components are in use:

[0004] 1. The existing anti-escape components have poor applicability. When dividing the bee colony, only the honeycomb entrance can be completely covered in the swarm cage, and at this time, the worker bees flying back from the outside cannot enter the beehive, and it is impossible to achieve the entry of worker bees into the honeycomb entrance while dividing the bee colony.

[0005] 2. When replacing the anti-escape board of the existing anti-escape component, it is necessary to remove the old one and then install the new one. At this time, there will be no cover for the honeycomb entrance for a short time, and at this time, the queen bee may escape from the beehive, increasing the probability of the queen bee escaping.

[0021] The following further describes in detail the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present utility model, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, A beehive entrance anti-escape component, including a bee cage 1 and a fixing frame 2. The bee cage 1 is made into two semi-closed frames by injection molding. The two semi-closed frames are fixedly connected to each other by a snap connection. The surface of the bee cage 1 is evenly provided with long strip-shaped small holes, and the width of the long strip-shaped small holes is smaller than the width of worker bees. The bee cage 1 is detachably connected to the fixing frame 2. The detachable connection between the bee cage 1 and the fixing frame 2 facilitates the division of bee colonies. When dividing the bee colonies, there is no need to disassemble the fixing frame 2. The bee cage 1 is directly connected to the fixing frame 2, allowing some bee colonies to enter the inside of the bee cage 1 for transfer, achieving the effect of rapid bee division. Through holes 11 are respectively provided at the front end and the rear end of the bee cage 1. A flange is provided outwardly on the outside of the through hole 11. The through hole 11 is snap-connected to a clamping block 221 through the flange. The baffle 4 is detachably connected to the fixing frame 2 through the clamping block 221. Sealing plates 12 are respectively detachably connected to the through holes 11. The flange provided on the outside of the through hole 11 is used for detachable connection with the fixing frame 2, realizing the rapid disassembly and fixation of the bee cage 1 and the fixing frame 2. Worker bees coming out of the fixing frame 2 enter the inside of the bee cage 1 through the through holes 11 for concentration. When enough bee colonies are collected in the bee cage 1, the bee cage 1 is detached from the fixing frame 2 and the sealing plate 12 is snap-connected at the through holes 11 of the bee cage 1 to prevent the bee colonies from escaping through the through holes 11, achieving the effect of sealing the bee cage 1. A rear plate 3 is provided at the rear end of the fixing frame 2. Fixing ears are respectively provided at the left end and the right end of the fixing frame 2 and the rear plate 3. The fixing ears provided on both sides of the fixing frame 2 and the rear plate 3 are integrally formed with the corresponding fixing frame 2 and rear plate 3. The fixing frame 2 and the rear plate 3 are fixed through the fixing ears, so that the fixing frame 2 and the rear plate 3 can be fixed at the entrance of the beehive by existing fixing parts such as screws. A plurality of trapezoidal columns are provided along the edge at the front end of the rear plate 3. A baffle 4 and an anti-escape plate 5 are detachably connected to the front end of the fixing frame 2. Two convex blocks are symmetrically provided at the lower end of the baffle 4. The anti-escape plate 5 is used to block the queen bee to prevent the queen bee from running out of the beehive and causing the bee colony to follow and transfer. The two convex blocks at the lower end of the baffle 4 block the rotating block 223, and normal rotation of part of the rotating block 223 can be realized, thereby controlling the number of bee colonies going out.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, a first inlet / outlet 21 and a second inlet / outlet hole 22 are formed at the front end of the fixed frame 2. The first inlet / outlet 21 is for the daily entry and exit of the bee colony, and the second inlet / outlet hole 22 is for use during swarming, so that the two do not affect each other. A convex edge 211 is respectively arranged at the left end and the rear end of the first inlet / outlet 21. A chute is formed between the convex edge 211 and the fixed frame 2. The escape prevention board 5 is detachably connected in the chute between the convex edge 211 and the fixed frame 2. When installing the escape prevention board 5, only need to slide and snap the escape prevention board 5 in the chute between the convex edge 211 and the fixed frame 2, and cooperate with the elastic piece 214 at the same time. The elastic piece 214 presses against the escape prevention board 5 to fit with the fixed frame 2, realizing the fixation of the escape prevention board 5. The width of the chute is greater than twice the thickness of the escape prevention board 5. A plurality of grooves 213 are respectively formed on the opposite sides of the two convex edges 211. An elastic piece 214 is inserted in the groove 213. The elastic piece 214 is arc-shaped. The width of the elastic piece 214 is greater than the thickness of the escape prevention board 5. When replacing the escape prevention board 5, first fit the new escape prevention board 5 against the old escape prevention board 5 from the outside and replace it from the outside to prevent the swarm from contacting the escape prevention board 5 and causing injury. The new escape prevention board 5 slides into the chute. At this time, the elastic piece 214 is deformed. After the new escape prevention board 5 is fixed, the old escape prevention board 5 can be pulled out. At this time, the elastic piece 214 will press against the new escape prevention board 5 to fit with the fixed frame 2. A receiving platform 212 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 2 is arranged at the lower end of the escape prevention board 5. The receiving platform 212 is for worker bees to land, facilitating the worker bees to climb into the beehive, and at the same time facilitating the worker bees in the beehive to come to the receiving platform 212 to take off. A plurality of holes are formed on the escape prevention board 5. The escape prevention board 5 is snap-connected in the chute between the convex edge 211 and the fixed frame 2. The diameter of the holes on the escape prevention board 5 is smaller than the diameter of the queen bee, preventing the phenomenon of the queen bee escaping. At the same time, the thickness of the chute is set to be greater than twice the thickness of the escape prevention board 5 and cooperate with the elastic piece 214 to effectively prevent the probability of the queen bee escaping when replacing the escape prevention board 5, and at the same time, there will be no situation of injuring the worker bees when replacing the escape prevention board 5.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3, a U-shaped clamping block 221 is respectively arranged at the left end and the right end of the second access hole 22. Two cross bars 222 distributed up and down are fixed in the second access hole 22. A plurality of rotating blocks 223 are rotatably connected to the upper cross bar 222. The rotating blocks 223 are in contact with the lower cross bar 222. When the bee colony moves from inside to outside, the bee colony passing through the second access hole 22 will push against the rotating blocks 223 to make them rotate. When the bee colony wants to return through the second access hole 22 along the original path, due to the action of the lower cross bar 222, it will push against the rotating blocks 223 to make them stop rotating. Through the cooperation of the rotating blocks 223 and the cross bars 222, the one-way passage of the bee colony is realized. At the same time, it cooperates with the bee cage 1 to facilitate the colony division of the bee colony. At the same time, by clamping the baffle 4 at the clamping block 221, the opening of the rotating blocks 223 is controlled. When not in use, the baffle 4 is completely inserted into the clamping block 221 to realize the blocking of the second access hole 22 and prevent the bee colony from running out from here.

Clamp the escape-proof board 5 in the chute between the convex edge 211 and the fixing frame 2. The worker bees in the beehive climb to the receiving platform 212 through the holes on the escape-proof board 5 to take off. At the same time, the worker bees returning from the outside land on the receiving platform 212, which is convenient for the worker bees to climb into the beehive. The holes on the escape-proof board 5 prevent the hornets outside from entering the beehive to harm the worker bees;

[0027] Then, when dividing the bee colony, remove the baffle 4 and fix the bee cage 1 on the fixing frame 2. The through hole 11 of the bee cage 1 is aligned with the second access hole 22 of the fixing frame 2. When the bee colony moves from inside to outside, the bee colony passing through the second access hole 22 will push against the rotating blocks 223 to make them rotate. When the bee colony wants to return through the second access hole 22 along the original path, due to the action of the lower cross bar 222, it will push against the rotating blocks 223 to make them stop rotating, which is convenient for dividing the bee colony;

[0028] Finally, when the bee colony in the bee cage 1 is collected enough, remove the bee cage 1 from the fixing frame 2 and clamp and seal the plate 12 at the through hole 11 of the bee cage 1 to prevent the bee colony from escaping from the through hole 11.
