Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of beekeeping appliances, in particular to a novel combined honeycomb frame for honeycomb production. Background Art

[0002] Honeycomb honey is a kind of mature honey composed of honeycombs and honey. Its nutritional components and active substances are higher than those of ordinary honey. With the improvement of people's living standards and the enhancement of health awareness, the demand for high-quality and natural foods is increasing day by day. As unprocessed mature honey, honeycomb honey with its rich nutritional value and health care effects is favored by more and more consumers.

[0003] The patent document with the publication number of CN103430870A discloses a combined honeycomb honey collection frame. The "T" - shaped frame is partitioned into an upper square hole and a lower square hole by a square cross bar, and by setting an upper limit strip, a middle limit strip, a lower limit strip, an upper lever, a two - way lever, and a lower lever, a square brood comb frame that can be placed movably and can store honeycomb honey and can be taken out after the flowering period can be put in. After strict disinfection and sealed packaging, it is directly sold in the market. This scheme is convenient for honey collection. However, bees have the habit of storing honey in the upper part and breeding larvae in the lower part. Since the whole honeycomb frame is designed as a square brood comb frame for storing honey, it is only suitable for being placed in a super during the period of strong bee colonies and large nectar - flowing periods, and is not suitable for bees with strong swarming tendency and difficult to maintain large colonies.

[0004] The patent document with the publication number of CN205052501U discloses a honeycomb production frame for Chinese honeybees. The honeycomb frame is divided into upper and lower regions by a middle beam arranged inside. Thin iron wires are evenly arranged in the lower region, which can be used as a brood area, and a movable frame body is arranged in the upper region, and a honeycomb frame is placed in the movable frame body as a honey storage area. This technical scheme makes use of the habit of bees storing honey in the upper part and breeding larvae in the lower part, enabling bees to make more efficient use of the honeycomb space for honey storage and larval breeding work. However, the brood area and honey storage area of this honeycomb frame are fixed. As the bee colony grows and develops and the need to increase the honey storage space arises, this scheme cannot flexibly adjust the space sizes of the honey storage area and the brood area according to needs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the problems existing in the above - mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a novel combined honeycomb frame for honeycomb production that is suitable for bee colonies of different species and colony strengths and can be flexibly matched and used according to the changes of seasons and nectar sources.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows: A new combined honeycomb frame for honey production includes a honey storage frame and a brood frame. The honey storage frame is a T-shaped frame, including a front frame board and a rear frame board. The front frame board and the rear frame board are symmetrically arranged. A plurality of through slots are correspondingly arranged on the front frame board and the rear frame board. Each through slot contains a movable honeycomb frame. Corresponding screw holes are arranged on the front frame board and the rear frame board, and they are firmly connected into a whole by bolts. Two or more clamping blocks are arranged on the peripheries of the through slots on the front frame board and the rear frame board to limit the movable honeycomb frame and fix it between the front frame board and the rear frame board. Two or more T-shaped limiting slots are correspondingly arranged at the bottom edges of the front frame board and the rear frame board. The brood frame includes a frame body. Fine iron wires are evenly arranged in the frame body. A first T-shaped connecting column matching the T-shaped limiting slot is arranged at the upper part of the frame body. The brood frame is detachably connected to the honey storage frame through the cooperation of the T-shaped connecting column and the T-shaped limiting slot.

[0007] Further, the height of the honey storage frame matches the height of the shallow super. The overall height after the honey storage frame and the brood frame are connected matches the height of the hive body.

[0008] Further, a plurality of positioning columns are correspondingly arranged on the outer side surfaces of the front frame board and the rear frame board.

[0009] Further, the shapes of the through slots and the movable honeycomb frames are one or any combination of heart shape, hexagon, and square.

[0010] Further, the materials of the front frame board and the rear frame board are plastics and are integrally formed by injection molding.

[0011] Further, second T-shaped connecting columns matching the T-shaped limiting slots are correspondingly arranged at the tops of the front frame board and the rear frame board, so that two upper and lower honey storage frames can be connected through the cooperation of the second T-shaped connecting columns and the T-shaped limiting slots.

[0012] The new combined honeycomb frame for honey production of the present utility model adopts an independently arranged honey storage frame and brood frame. The honey storage frame and the brood frame are detachably connected. When the movable honeycomb frame in the honey storage frame is full of honey and fully ripened and capped, the honey storage frame can be taken out separately for honey collection. The brood frame is connected to the empty honey storage frame and put back into the hive body, thus not affecting the normal work of the lower brood area. Honey collection is convenient and fast without harming bees. For medium bee colonies with a large population, a shallow super can be added to the hive body and the honey storage frame can be placed separately in the shallow super, which can expand the activity space of the bee colony and increase the honey production. In addition, when the bee colony is strong and the honey source is rich, or for Italian bee colonies with a large population, two honey storage frames can also be spliced and put into a deep super for use, thus increasing the output. The present utility model can be applicable to bee colonies of different species and populations, and can be flexibly adjusted and matched according to the changes of seasons and honey sources, which helps beekeepers better manage bee colonies and adapt to different production requirements.
