Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese bee breeding, in particular to a multi-queen breeding box for Chinese bees. Background Technique

[0002] A double-queen colony is a special bee colony specially formed by beekeepers to improve the breeding efficiency of the bee colony. After all, the egg-laying amount of two queens is naturally more than that of one queen. However, it is not easy to form a double-queen colony. First, the group odor among worker bees needs to be broken to prevent worker bees from "fighting in groups", and a partition board or a queen-excluding board is also needed to separate the two queens to prevent the queens from "fighting" with each other.

[0003] At present, before forming a double-queen colony, it is necessary to mix the odors, that is, the group odors among the worker bees in the double-queen colony are mixed so that they can't tell each other apart and can live in harmony. Currently, the principle of mixing odors refers to Figure 1 , first, use a partition board b to separate the two queens in the nest box a to prevent the two queens from meeting, use a queen-excluding board c to separate the upper layer and the lower layer, then cover with a gauze board d, and finally cover with a super e. In this way, while the odors are exchanged, the worker bees in the double-queen colony can be prevented from fighting. The existing technology has the following problems: the nest box is of an overall frame structure. When the strength of the double-queen colony is unbalanced, there will be a weak colony of bees. In order to drive the development of the weak colony of bees, it is more necessary to merge the colonies of bees. When it is inconvenient to merge the colonies of bees, it is necessary to take out the bee combs of the double-queen colony of bee combs; mixing the odors also requires the help of a super, and the super needs to be cleaned.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] Referring to Figure 2 ; the present invention discloses a multi-queen breeding box for Chinese bees; which includes two sub-nest boxes 1. At least one side of the sub-nest box 1 is an open mouth 2. A partition board 3 is detachably connected at the open mouth 2. Of course; it is not limited to Figure 2, the sub-nest box 1 can adopt a concave structure, and both corresponding sides can be open openings 2. The purpose is to achieve the combination of multiple queen bees. The sub-nest box 1 is the same as the existing nest box and can accommodate nest combs with different functions. The nest combs in the sub-nest box 1 mainly provide living and breeding space for the queen bees. The assembly of two sub-nest boxes 1 connects the open openings 2 of the two sub-nest boxes 1 through assembling parts. When breeding multiple queen bees of Chinese bees, the two sub-nest boxes 1 are assembled into a nest box for double-queen breeding. After the assembly of the two sub-nest boxes 1, the function is the same as that of the existing nest box. The difference is that the strong or weak bee colonies produced by the two sub-nest boxes 1 assembled into a nest box for double-queen breeding can be assembled with other sub-nest boxes 1 through the sub-nest box 1, realizing a convenient combination of multiple queen bees. A group of bees can be removed at any time and combined with other boxes to form a combination of multiple queen bees, which is beneficial to driving the development of weak bee colonies. By setting a ventilation structure 5 on the partition board 3, when the two sub-nest boxes 1 need to mix odors after assembly, at this time, the ventilation structure 5 can communicate the group odors of worker bees between the two sub-nest boxes 1. When mixing odors, there is no need to set up structures such as queen-excluding boards and gauze boards. After the odor mixing is completed, if it is a double-queen group in a super box, a queen-excluding board and a super box can be directly set up on the assembled sub-nest box 1 for breeding double queen bees. If it is a double-queen group in a nest box, the partition board 3 can be taken out and a queen-excluding board can be placed. For the combination of weak bee colonies, in order to develop into a medium-sized colony, after mixing the odors, the partition board 3 can be directly taken out, and only one queen bee can be retained, and other queen bees can be eliminated.

[0034] Refer to Figure 3 , both side walls of the sub-nest box 1 are provided with a placing surface 101, and the placing surface 101 is used for placing bee combs and the partition board 3. After breeding in a double-queen group for a period of time, due to the development of strong and weak bee colonies, the bee quantity in one side of the sub-nest box 1 will decrease. At this time, the partition board 3 can be moved on the placing surface to control the balance of the bee quantity of the two bee colonies. At the same time, the quantity of bee combs on both sides can also be adjusted. A positioning hole 102 is opened on the side close to the open part, and a positioning column 302 connected to the positioning hole 102 is provided on the ear part 301 of the partition board 3. The setting of the positioning hole 102 and the positioning column 302 can ensure the stability of the connection between the partition board 3 and the sub-nest box 1, and facilitate not detaching during the handling process. The partition board 3 is located on each side wall of the sub-nest box 1 and fits against the inner walls of the open opening 2, that is, the gap between the partition board 3 and the side of the sub-nest box 1 is as small as possible to prevent worker bees from passing through, so as to avoid worker bees escaping or worker bees accidentally breaking into a bee colony that does not belong to them during the odor mixing process.

[0035] Refer to Figure 4 , the ventilation structure 5 includes a ventilation hole 501 penetrating through the partition board 3. Permeable nets 502 are fixed on both sides of the ventilation hole 501. The permeable nets 502 can adopt gauze or wire mesh. The mesh holes of the permeable nets 502 do not allow worker bees to pass through, avoiding worker bees stinging each other with their stingers and ensuring the flow of odors. The ventilation holes 501 of the two sub-nest boxes 1 are arranged corresponding to each other, so that the group odors of worker bees in the double-queen group can be communicated more quickly.

[0036] Working principle: Multiple hive boxes for double-queen breeding are formed by combining two sub-hive boxes in pairs. When one sub-hive box of a hive box needs to be re-assembled with one sub-hive box of another hive box, since each sub-hive box is relatively independent after swarm division, the two sub-hive boxes of the hive box can be directly disassembled and assembled by the assembly parts. In this way, the new swarm formed by re-assembling the two sub-hive boxes into a hive box for double-queen breeding realizes convenient multi-queen combination. A group of bees can be removed at any time and combined with other boxes to form a multi-queen combination, which is beneficial to driving the development of weak bee colonies.

[0037] After combination, it still requires 1 - 2 days for the odor to mix. The partition board 3 can serve as the side board of the sub-hive box 1 when the sub-hive box 1 is independent, and can also partition the two sub-hive boxes 1 after assembly to prevent the two queens and two worker bee groups from meeting. After assembly, the hive box assembled by the two sub-hive boxes 1 can be directly capped. Through the ventilation structure 5 of the partition board 3, the group odor among the worker bees in the two sub-hive boxes 1 can be interchanged. After 1 - 2 days of odor mixing, a bottom box can be built based on this assembled hive box according to the requirements of double-queen colony breeding.

[0038] In addition, the two sub-hive boxes 1 can also be used separately for single-queen colony breeding. The ventilation structure 5 of the partition board 3 can provide ventilation and cooling for the single-queen colony breeding hive, and the ventilation net 502 prevents other insects from entering the hive and affecting the growth and development of bees.

[0039] Embodiment 2

[0040] Referring to Figures 3 - 4 , based on the same concept as in the above Embodiment 1, the multi-queen breeding box for Chinese bees further includes an assembly part including an assembly board 4. A sunken surface 103 is opened at the top of the open mouth 2, and fixing holes 104 located in the same plane are opened on the sunken surface 103 and the side wall of the sub-hive box 1. The assembly board 4 is connected to the fixing holes 104 by internal hexagon bolts 404. Referring to Figure 5 , the assembly board 4 is integrally formed by a side plate part 401 fitting to the outer side wall of the sub-hive box 1, a flat plate part 402 fitting to the sunken surface 103, and a limiting plate part 403 fitting to the inner side wall of the sub-hive box 1. The setting of the sunken surface 103 can ensure that the flat plate part 402 of the assembly board 4 is placed on the sunken surface 103 and is flush with the upper surface of the sub-hive box 1, and the connection with internal hexagon bolts 404 is to prevent the queen bee from escaping when installing the queen-excluding board. The assembly board 4 is composed of a side plate part 401, a flat plate part 402, and a limiting plate part 403. When assembling the two sub-hive boxes 1, the side plate part 401 can prevent the gap for bees to escape from being reserved at the docking surface of the two sub-hive boxes 1, and the limiting plate part 403 can enable the two sub-hive boxes 1 to be quickly and accurately docked without misalignment.
