Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] During the beekeeping process, when there is a lack of nectar and pollen sources in the outside world in autumn or before wintering, beekeepers will routinely feed the bees with sugar water to ensure that the bee colony has enough feed.

[0003] At present, a feeder is usually placed in the beehive in advance, and the beehive needs to be opened to fill the feeder every day for feeding. The need to open the beehive every day for feeding greatly increases the workload of feeding and reduces work efficiency. Frequent opening of the beehive seriously interferes with the normal life of the bees and is likely to sting the operators. In addition, the sugar water in the feeder can easily cause the bees to drown, affecting the production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this patent application is how to provide a bee feeder that can provide auxiliary support for bees, is easy to use, and reduces the workload of feeding.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A bee feeder comprises a shell, two ends of the shell extending outward to form overlapping edges, the shell being provided with two feeding troughs, and the two feeding troughs being connected by a reinforcement member;

[0007] A partition is placed in the feeding trough, and four vertically arranged guide pillars are fixedly installed on the shell facing the feeding trough. Guide holes that slide with the guide pillars are opened on the partition, and a number of feeding holes are opened on the partition. Upper edges are fixed upward at both ends of the partition, and a floating plate is fixed on the outer side of the upper edge. The lower end of the floating plate is located between the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the partition.

[0008] Wherein, the sides of the feeding trough are protruded with anti-slip protrusions.

[0009] Wherein, arc surface transition is provided at the corner of the feeding trough.

[0010] Wherein, the reinforcement piece is provided with a groove.

[0011] Wherein, a plurality of through holes are provided through the bottom of the groove.

[0012] In summary, the bee feeder has the advantages of being able to provide auxiliary support for bees, being easy to use, and reducing the workload of feeding. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional terms such as "upper, lower" and "top, bottom" are generally based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended only to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. Unless otherwise indicated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional terms "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0016] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a bee feeder comprises a shell 1, both ends of which extend outward to form a lap 2, the shell being provided with two feeding troughs, which are connected by a reinforcement 3;

[0017] A partition 4 is placed in the feeding trough, and four vertically arranged guide pillars 5 are fixedly installed on the shell facing the feeding trough. Guide holes 6 that slide with the guide pillars are opened on the partition, and a number of feeding holes 7 are opened on the partition. Upper edges 8 are fixed upward at both ends of the partition, and a floating plate 9 is fixed on the outside of the upper edge. The lower end of the floating plate is located between the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the partition.

[0018] In this way, sugar water is added to the two feeding troughs, and the partition is placed inside. The float plate allows the partition to float on the sugar water. Because the lower end of the float plate is located between the upper and lower end surfaces of the partition plate, the sugar water prevents the partition plate from submerging, providing buoyancy. When the bees need to drink the sugar water, they land on the float plate and drink through the feeding hole, preventing drowning and ensuring production. The guide rod guides the up and down movement of the partition plate, making its movement more stable.

[0019] During implementation, the trough side of the feeding trough is convexly provided with anti-skid pattern protrusions 10. By the provision of the anti-skid pattern protrusions, it is convenient for bees to climb.

[0020] During implementation, the corners of the feeding trough are provided with arc surface transitions for easy cleaning.

[0021] During implementation, the reinforcement is provided with a groove in which pollen feed can be placed for bees to eat.

[0022] During implementation, the bottom of the groove is provided with a plurality of perforations 11. This facilitates cleaning the groove and increases the exposure surface of the pollen feed, so that bees can also eat pollen through the groove.

[0023] Specifically, the housing is integrally formed, with the feeding trough, reinforcement, and lapped edges being injection-molded plastic. The fixings are thicker than the rest of the housing, providing central support. The partitions are 2mm thick, ensuring a tight seal for drinking sugar water while also being able to support the weight of the bees.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
