Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beekeeping, in particular to a hanging capsule-shaped beehive. Background Art

[0002] A beehive, or beehive, is the habitat where bees breed and thrive, and is a fundamental tool in beekeeping. Traditional beehives are mostly square, containing frames on which bees build their honeycombs. When honey is needed, the beekeeper pulls out the frames from the movable bars to harvest the honey. Because bees can nest for extended periods within the hive, the honeycombs typically contain honey at the top and honeycombs at the bottom. Traditional honey harvesting from frames, where honey is stored within the frame, is inconvenient, and harvesting the entire honeycomb is difficult. This can also damage the honeycombs, significantly impacting the bees.

[0003] Traditional beehives are usually placed on a shelf or flat surface, and the bottom of the hive must be regularly cleaned of pollen and debris. Furthermore, it is necessary to prevent rats and insects from entering the hive to steal the honey from the honeycombs and bee pupae. Therefore, beekeeping is a complex and meticulous task, and the work is quite labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a hanging capsule-shaped beehive, which changes the current situation of traditional box-type beehives being placed on a flat platform to a hanging or suspended placement, thereby saving ground space; and the hanging or hanging direction can be switched up and down, thereby achieving pest prevention, less disturbance, no need to clean the bottom of the box, rapid growth, easy and strong colony, improving honey production and quality, no or less damage to the brood during honey harvesting, more honeycombs, pupae, and pollen are retained, and the lower end of the honeycomb is raised to the upper end, avoiding waste of bee colony resources. A more appropriate, reasonable, and convenient way of breeding bees allows them to reproduce and thrive in accordance with their own development model in nature.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present utility model is as follows:

[0006] A hanging capsule-shaped beehive has end covers fixed to the upper and lower ends of the beehive body respectively, and a number of hanging buckles are provided on the end covers. The beehive is vertically hung on an attachment by a rope or a ball head group is used to connect the beehive and the wall at both ends. The upper and lower ends of the beehive body can be reversed to be vertically hung on the attachment.

[0007] Suspended or hanging objects can include tree branches, building eaves, building ceilings, and walls in front of or behind houses, eliminating the need for ground placement and saving significant floor space. By swapping the upper and lower ends of the box, honey can be harvested without or with minimal damage to the brood, preserving more honeycombs, pupae, and pollen, more in line with the natural development of bees.

[0008] The beehive body is provided with a hexagonal hole on the side, which is plugged into one end of a cantilevered hexagonal rod and fixed with a pin, and the other end of the cantilevered hexagonal rod is fixed to an attachment. In addition to being able to be suspended, the beehive can also be fixed to a vertical wall using the cantilevered hexagonal rod, providing more fixing possibilities.

[0009] A vent is located at the top of the hive end cap. This vent serves two functions: in addition to allowing air to exchange between the hive's interior and the outside air, it also automatically removes pollen and other impurities from the hive when the vent is facing downward, achieving a self-cleaning effect. Beekeepers only need to clean the floor below the hive, saving time and effort. The vent's sliding door can be opened and closed manually.

[0010] The box end cover is provided with a nest door. The nest door is a passage for bees to enter and exit the beehive.

[0011] The hive door is provided with a sliding cover which slides along the slide rails on both sides of the hive door. When the hive door faces upwards and it rains, the cover can be slid closed to prevent rainwater from entering the hive cavity; the hive door facing downwards can remain open to facilitate the entry and exit of bees.

[0012] The box body and the box end cover are fixedly connected by a duckbill buckle. The duckbill buckle can be used to quickly lock and connect the box body and the box end cover.

[0013] The inner chamber of the box is provided with movable nesting frames at the upper and lower ends, with nesting frames connected to the lower ends of the movable nesting frames. A concave edge is provided within the inner chamber of the box to position the movable nesting frames. The nesting frames are secured to the concave edge with beeswax. The nesting frames provide a support for the bees to build their nests. The movable nesting frames and nesting frames can be made of natural materials such as bamboo or wooden sticks.

[0014] The middle part of the box body is provided with a ventilation window sash having a grid structure. When the weather is hot, the ventilation window sash is opened to ventilate and dissipate heat for the beehive; when the weather is cold, the ventilation window sash is closed to achieve heat preservation.

[0015] The ventilation window sash is provided with a sliding cover which slides along the slide rails on both sides of the nest door.

[0016] The box body and the box end cover are made of a PVC outer shell and an inner layer of foam insulation material. The PVC outer shell has a certain hardness and impact resistance, and the inner layer of insulation material can ensure that the heat preservation effect of the beehive cavity is suitable for the growth of bees.

[0017] Utility model advantages

[0018] 1. The utility model changes the status quo of traditional box-type beehives being placed on a flat platform to being suspended or hung, which can save ground space and provide a basis for large-scale bee breeding.

[0019] 2. The vertical suspension direction of the beehive of this utility model can be adjusted up and down, which prevents pests, minimizes disturbance, eliminates the need to clean the bottom of the hive, promotes rapid growth, and easily strengthens the colony, thereby improving honey production and quality. Honey harvesting does not harm or minimizes the harm to the brood, and more honeycombs, pupae, and pollen are preserved. The lower honeycomb end can be raised to the upper end, avoiding waste of bee colony resources. This allows bees to breed in a more appropriate, reasonable, and convenient way, allowing them to reproduce and thrive in accordance with their natural development model.

[0020] 3. The upper and lower vents of the utility model can automatically drop debris and pollen in the beehive, which can reduce the workload of beekeepers in cleaning the beehive.

[0021] 4. The beehive of the present invention can also be stacked in multiple layers to increase the size of the inner cavity of the beehive and make the bee colony bigger and stronger. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
