Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bee transport devices, specifically to a beehive. Background Technology

[0002] In the complex ecosystem of beekeeping, the live transport of queen bees is a crucial link in supporting the continuous reproduction of bee colonies, breed improvement, and disease control. By transporting queen bees live, an effective breeding system can be established in new bee colonies, ensuring the normal reproduction and development of the colonies and maintaining the number of bee colonies and honey production.

[0003] The current method of transporting queen bees live in cardboard boxes has several significant drawbacks. "It's inconvenient or impossible to feed the queen bee nutrient solution," because the simple structure of the cardboard box lacks a design specifically for continuously supplying nutrients to the queen. During long-term transport, the queen bee cannot obtain the necessary nutrients, and her physiological functions gradually decline, affecting subsequent rearing results, such as reduced egg-laying capacity and shortened lifespan. "To feed the queen bee nutrient solution, the cardboard box needs to be opened and the solution poured in," but queen bees are sensitive and agile; the moment the box is opened, changes in external light and airflow can easily shock the queen bee, causing her to escape quickly, leading to transport failure. "The cardboard box space is relatively enclosed, with little air circulation," causing the oxygen content inside the box to gradually decrease over time, while carbon dioxide and other waste gases accumulate. The queen bee, living in this low-oxygen, high-carbon dioxide environment for a long time, suffers from impaired respiration and metabolism, facing severe challenges to survival, which is extremely detrimental to queen bee rearing. These problems seriously restrict the quality of live queen bee transport and urgently require innovative solutions. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, a beehive is needed to solve the technical problems of transporting queen bees live in cardboard boxes, which can affect queen bee rearing when not feeding them, and cause queen bees to escape when fed; in addition, the relatively enclosed space of cardboard boxes has little air circulation, which is not conducive to queen bee rearing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the inventor provides a beehive comprising:

[0006] Box;

[0007] A lid is disposed on the box body and is used to open or close the box body. The lid has a first opening.

[0008] The device includes a feeding mechanism, one end of which extends into the box through the first opening, and the other end of which is located on the outer wall of the box cover. The feeding mechanism is used to provide nutrient solution to the bees inside the box.

[0009] As a preferred structure of this utility model, the feeding mechanism includes a syringe, a push rod, and a piston;

[0010] The piston is disposed at one end of the push rod, and the piston and the push rod are detachably connected;

[0011] The syringe has a first through hole at one end, and one end of the push rod extends into the syringe, with the push rod slidably connected to the syringe.

[0013] As a preferred structure of this utility model, the other end of the push rod is provided with a handle.

[0014] As a preferred structure of this utility model, the beehive further includes an escape prevention mechanism. One end of the escape prevention mechanism extends into the beehive body through the first opening, and the other end of the escape prevention mechanism is disposed on the outer wall of the beehive cover. The feeding mechanism is embedded in the escape prevention mechanism. The escape prevention mechanism is used to prevent bees from escaping from the beehive body.

[0015] As a preferred structure of this utility model, the escape prevention mechanism is a sleeve, one end of the sleeve has a hollow structure, and the other end of the sleeve is provided with a second protrusion, which is disposed on the outer wall of the box cover.

[0016] As a preferred structure of this utility model, the escape prevention mechanism is a sleeve, one end of which is provided with a second through hole, and the other end of which is provided with a second protrusion, which is disposed on the outer wall of the box cover.

[0017] As a preferred structure of this utility model, the beehive further includes at least one switching mechanism, and at least one second opening is provided on the side wall of the beehive body;

[0018] At least one of the switching mechanisms is correspondingly disposed on at least one of the second openings, the switching mechanism being used to switch the airflow inside and outside the box; or / and the switching mechanism being used to switch the control of the bees' entry and exit.

[0019] As a preferred structure of this utility model, the switching mechanism includes a switching cover and a plurality of switching plates.

Each of the plurality of switching plates is provided with a grid, and the gap size on the plurality of grids is different.

[0020] As a preferred structure of this utility model, the beehive further includes a buffer mechanism, which is disposed on the inner wall of the beehive body and is used to reduce or avoid vibration and impact on the bees.

[0021] Unlike existing technologies, the beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: In the closed state, the beehive of this utility model has a tightly fitting lid and body, forming a closed space to prevent the queen bee from escaping accidentally and to prevent foreign objects from entering, thus protecting the queen bee's safety. When opened, it facilitates the operator to place or remove the queen bee from the hive, completing the pre- and post-transportation procedures. The first opening provides an installation interface for the feeding mechanism, allowing it to smoothly deliver nutrient solution into the hive. The flexible opening and closing design facilitates the loading and unloading of the queen bee while ensuring the airtightness during transportation, providing a safe and stable space for the queen bee. Furthermore, the first opening facilitates automatic feeding by the feeding mechanism. By extending the feeding mechanism into the hive through the first opening to provide nutrient solution to the bees, nutrient solution can be delivered to the queen bee without compromising the hive's airtightness. This solves the problem of queen bee escape due to opening the hive lid for feeding in existing transportation methods, while ensuring sufficient nutrition for the queen bee throughout the transportation process, effectively improving her survival rate and providing a good physiological foundation for subsequent queen bee breeding and use, which is beneficial for maintaining the reproduction and development of the bee colony. The feeding mechanism allows for the administration of nutrient solution to the queen bee without opening the hive, ensuring her nutritional supply during transportation and avoiding the risk of her escaping due to feeding with the hive open. This improves transportation safety and the queen bee's survival rate.

[0064] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment relates to a beehive, which is mainly used for transporting live queen bees, wherein the beehive includes:

[0065] Box 1; Box 1 is the main load-bearing structure of the entire transport system, specifically designed to house the queen bee and provide her with physical space and basic protection during transport.

[0066] A cover 2 is mounted on the box body 1 and is used to open or close the box body 1. The cover 2 has a first opening 21. The cover 2 is a movable part covering the top of the box body 1, enabling the opening and closing of the box body 1. The cover 2 and the box body 1 can be lifted or lowered to connect, or the cover 2 can be connected to the box body 1 via hinges, snap-fit ​​structures, or other connecting structures. In the closed state, the cover 2 and the box body 1 fit tightly together, forming a closed space to prevent the queen bee from accidentally escaping and to prevent foreign objects from entering, thus protecting the queen bee's safety. When open, it facilitates the operation of placing or removing the queen bee into or from the box body 1, completing the pre- and post-transportation procedures. The first opening 21 provides an installation interface for the feeding mechanism 3, allowing the feeding mechanism 3 to smoothly deliver nutrient solution into the box body 1. The flexible opening and closing design facilitates the loading and unloading of the queen bee while ensuring the airtightness during transportation, providing a safe and stable space for the queen bee. Furthermore, the setting of the first opening 21 creates conditions for the automatic feeding function of the feeding mechanism 3.

[0067] The system includes a feeding mechanism 3, one end of which extends into the box body 1 through the first opening 21, and the other end of which is mounted on the outer wall of the box cover 2. The feeding mechanism 3 provides nutrient solution to the bees inside the box body 1. By extending the feeding mechanism 3 into the box body 1 through the first opening 21, the queen bee (honeybee) will lick the nutrient solution from the feeding mechanism 3. This allows for nutrient feeding of the queen bee (honeybee) without compromising the airtightness of the box body 1, solving the problem of queen bee escape caused by opening the box cover 2 for feeding in existing transportation methods. It also ensures sufficient nutrition for the queen bee throughout the transportation process, effectively improving her survival rate and providing a good physiological foundation for subsequent queen bee breeding and use, which is beneficial for maintaining the reproduction and development of the bee colony. Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 3 extends into the box body 1 from the top and bottom of the box cover 2, making it easy to operate and convenient for feeding the queen bee (honeybee). The feeding mechanism 3 allows for the administration of nutrient solution to the queen bee without opening the hive cover 2, ensuring her nutritional supply during transportation and avoiding the risk of her escaping due to opening the hive cover 2 for feeding. This improves transportation safety and the queen bee's survival rate. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the bee is the queen bee, and the nutrient solution is honey.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the beehive is closed, the lid 2 fits tightly against the body 1, forming a sealed space to prevent the queen bee from escaping accidentally and to prevent foreign objects from entering, thus protecting the queen bee's safety. When opened, it allows operators to easily place or remove the queen bee from the body 1, completing the pre- and post-transportation procedures. The first opening 21 provides an installation interface for the feeding mechanism 3, enabling it to smoothly deliver nutrient solution into the body 1. This flexible opening and closing design facilitates the loading and unloading of the queen bee while ensuring a sealed environment during transportation, providing a safe and stable space for the queen bee. Furthermore, the first opening 21 facilitates automatic feeding by the feeding mechanism 3. The feeding mechanism 3 extends into the hive 1 through the first opening 21 to provide nutrient solution to the bees. This allows for nutrient feeding of the queen bee (honeybee) without compromising the airtightness of the hive 1, solving the problem of queen bee escape caused by opening the hive cover 2 for feeding in existing transportation methods. It also ensures the queen bee receives sufficient nutrition throughout the transportation process, effectively improving her survival rate and providing a good physiological foundation for subsequent queen bee breeding and use, which is beneficial for maintaining the reproduction and development of the bee colony. The feeding mechanism 3 allows for nutrient feeding of the queen bee without opening the hive cover 2, ensuring the queen bee's nutritional supply during transportation, avoiding the risk of queen bee escape due to opening the hive cover 2 for feeding, improving transportation safety and queen bee survival rate, enabling queen bee reserves, and increasing the success rate of queen bee mating.

[0069] Optionally, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a syringe 31, a push rod 32, and a piston 33. The syringe 31 is a tubular container structure for storing nutrient solution, and it has graduations to indicate the amount of nutrient solution stored. The piston 33 is located at one end of the push rod 32 and slides tightly against the inner wall of the syringe 31, pushing the nutrient solution through its movement. The piston 33 and the push rod 32 are detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​connection; this detachable connection facilitates maintenance and cleaning, ensures the long-term stable operation of the feeding mechanism 3, extends its service life, and ensures hygiene and safety during the feeding process. One end of the syringe 31 has a first through hole 311 for the nutrient solution to flow out. One end of the push rod 32 extends into the syringe 31, and the push rod 32 is slidably connected to the syringe 31 to drive the piston 33 and the push rod 32 to slide within the syringe 31.

[0070] Optionally, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 9As shown, the other end of the syringe 31 has a first protrusion 312 on its periphery. The first protrusion 312 engages with the outer wall of the box cover 2, and the first protrusion 312 fits tightly with the first opening 21 on the box cover 2 to ensure that the syringe 31 is securely installed. The diameter of the syringe 31 is adapted to the diameter of the first opening 21, so that the syringe 31 can be inserted into the box 1 through the first opening 21, and the bees are prevented from escaping through the first opening 21.

[0071] Optionally, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the other end of the push rod 32 is provided with a handle 321, which facilitates the operator's grip. It should be noted that the structure of the feeding mechanism 3 in this embodiment is not limited to this, and those skilled in the art can select other suitable feeding mechanisms 3 based on the teachings of this embodiment.

[0072] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 9As shown, the piston 33 is securely installed at one end of the push rod 32 using a detachable connection method such as threaded connection or snap-fit, ensuring a tight connection and easy disassembly. The end of the push rod 32 with the piston 33 is slowly and accurately inserted into the syringe 31, and repeated pushing tests are performed to ensure that the push rod 32 slides smoothly and without obstruction within the syringe 31. A first through hole 311 is machined at one end of the syringe 31 using drilling or other processing techniques. The diameter of the through hole is designed according to the nutrient solution flow requirements and the queen bee's feeding characteristics. In this embodiment, the operator applies a pushing force backward by holding the handle 321 on the push rod 32, causing the push rod 32 to move backward and thus pushing the piston 33 to slide inside the syringe 31, thereby drawing the nutrient solution into the syringe 31. After loading an appropriate amount of nutrient solution that has undergone strict quality testing, the syringe 31 is installed on the box cover 2 through the first opening 21, so that the first protrusion 312 of the syringe 31 fits tightly against the box cover 2. In this embodiment, the operator can also apply a pushing force forward by holding the handle 321 on the push rod 32, causing the push rod 32 to move forward and thus pushing the piston 33 to slide inside the syringe 31, thereby squeezing the nutrient solution out of the first through hole 311 of the syringe 31 into the box 1. Alternatively, in other embodiments, there is no need to squeeze out the nutrient solution using the push rod 32. Since the syringe 31 is vertically positioned, a portion of the nutrient solution will remain on the outer wall of the first through-hole 311 under the influence of gravity. When the queen bee licks the nutrient solution on the outer wall of the first through-hole 311, the nutrient solution will continue to overflow from the first through-hole 311. This allows for nutrient feeding of the queen bee (honeybee) without compromising the airtightness of the hive 1, solving the problem of queen bee escape due to opening the hive cover 2 for feeding in existing transportation methods. It also ensures sufficient nutrition for the queen bee throughout the transportation process, effectively improving her survival rate and providing a good physiological foundation for subsequent queen bee breeding and use, which is beneficial for maintaining the reproduction and development of the bee colony. By providing the feeding mechanism 3, nutrient solution can be fed to the queen bee without opening the hive cover 2, ensuring the queen bee's nutritional supply during transportation, avoiding the risk of queen bee escape due to opening the hive cover 2 for feeding, and improving transportation safety and queen bee survival rate.

[0073] Optionally, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the beehive also includes an escape prevention mechanism 4. One end of the escape prevention mechanism 4 extends into the hive body 1 through the first opening 21, and the other end is disposed on the outer wall of the hive cover 2. The feeding mechanism 3 is embedded in the escape prevention mechanism 4. The escape prevention mechanism 4 is used to prevent bees from escaping from the hive body 1. By providing the escape prevention mechanism 4, it is prevented that when the feeding mechanism 3 is removed from the hive body 1, the bees perched on the syringe 31 on the feeding mechanism 3 will be pulled out along with it, causing the bees to escape.

[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 9As shown, the escape prevention mechanism 4 is a sleeve 41. One end of the sleeve 41 has a second through hole 43, and the other end of the sleeve 41 has a second protrusion 42 on its outer periphery. The second protrusion 42 is located on the outer wall of the box cover 2. The size of the second through hole 43 is adapted to the size of the first through hole 311 to ensure that the nutrient solution can flow out from the second through hole 43 for the bees to lick. Furthermore, the size of the second through hole 43 is smaller than the size of the queen bee, which ensures that the nutrient solution from the feeding mechanism 3 is smoothly delivered into the box 1, while effectively blocking the queen bee from passing through and preventing her from escaping.

[0075] Optionally, in other embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the escape prevention mechanism 4 is a sleeve 41. One end of the sleeve 41 has a hollow structure, and the other end of the sleeve 41 has a second protrusion 42 on its periphery. The second protrusion 42 is disposed on the outer wall of the box cover 2. The hollow structure at one end of the sleeve 41 ensures that the nutrient solution on the first through hole 311 of the syringe 31 can directly overflow for the queen bee to lick. It should be noted that the structure of the escape prevention mechanism 4 in this embodiment is not limited to this, and those skilled in the art can select other suitable escape prevention mechanisms 4 based on the teachings of this embodiment.

[0076] Optionally, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the beehive also includes at least one switching mechanism 5, and at least one second opening 11 is provided on the side wall of the hive body 1. At least one switching mechanism 5 is correspondingly disposed on at least one second opening 11. The switching mechanism 5 is used to switch the airflow inside and outside the hive body 1. According to different transportation environments and actual needs, the size of the second opening 11 can be flexibly adjusted through the switching mechanism 5 to regulate the ventilation volume of the second opening 11, creating a good air environment for the queen bee and reducing adverse effects such as hypoxia and stuffiness caused by poor air circulation. Alternatively, the switching mechanism 5 can be used to switch and control the entry and exit of brood bees. When the queen bee reaches a certain stage of rearing, the brood bees in the hive body 1 need to go out to collect nectar. The size of the second opening 11 can be flexibly adjusted through the switching mechanism 5 to regulate the entry and exit size of the second opening 11, ensuring that the brood bees can enter and exit. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the number of second openings 11 and switching mechanisms 5 is not limited. In this embodiment, there are two second openings 11 and two switching mechanisms 5, respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the hive body 1.

[0077] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the switching mechanism 5 is used to switch the airflow inside and outside the box 1. Depending on different transportation environments and actual needs, the size of the second opening 11 can be flexibly adjusted via the switching mechanism 5 to regulate the ventilation volume of the second opening 11, creating a good air environment for the queen bee and reducing adverse effects such as oxygen deficiency and stuffiness caused by poor air circulation. Furthermore, the switching mechanism 5 is used to control the entry and exit of the brood bees. When the queen bee reaches a certain stage of rearing, the brood bees inside the box 1 need to go out to collect nectar. The size of the second opening 11 can be flexibly adjusted via the switching mechanism 5 to regulate the entry and exit size of the second opening 11, ensuring that the brood bees can enter and exit. It should be noted that the structure of the switching mechanism 5 in this embodiment is not limited to this; those skilled in the art can select other suitable switching mechanisms 5 based on the teachings of this embodiment.

[0078] Optionally, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the switching mechanism 5 includes a switching cover 51 and multiple switching plates 52. The switching cover 51 is disposed on the second opening 11, and the multiple switching plates 52 are rotatably connected to the switching cover 51 so that the switching plates 52 can be rotated to switch the opening size of the second opening 11. Each of the multiple switching plates 52 is provided with a grille 53, and the gap size on the multiple grilles 53 is different to ensure that different forms of opening size of the second opening 11 can be switched.

[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a second opening 11 is precisely cut at a suitable position on the side wall of the hive 1 using a cutting tool. The switching cover 51 is then tightly installed onto the second opening 11, using screws or welding to ensure a secure and well-sealed installation. Multiple switching plates 52 are rotatably connected to the switching cover 51. After installation, the switching plates 52 are rotated one by one to test the ventilation effect under different grid gaps 53 and the control over the queen bee's entry and exit. During transportation, the ambient temperature, humidity, and queen bee's condition are monitored in real time. Based on the actual data and conditions, the ventilation volume of the second opening 11 is flexibly adjusted by rotating the switching plates 52 to ensure the queen bee is always in a suitable environment. When the queen bee reaches a certain stage of rearing, the brood in hive 1 needs to go out to collect nectar. The opening size of the second opening 11 can be flexibly adjusted by switching the plates 52 to regulate the entry and exit size of the second opening 11, ensuring the brood can enter and exit.

[0080] Optionally, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 9As shown, the beehive also includes a buffer mechanism 6, which is installed on the inner wall of the hive body 1. The buffer mechanism 6 is used to reduce or avoid vibration and impact on the bees. The buffer mechanism 6 is evenly distributed inside the hive body 1, and it is a buffer layer made of a cushioning material, such as a soft and elastic sponge. The buffer mechanism 6 can buffer the vibration and impact caused by vehicle bumps and collisions during transportation, preventing the queen bee from being injured by vibration and creating a stable and safe microenvironment for her survival. The buffer mechanism 6 provides excellent cushioning protection, greatly improving the survival rate of the queen bee during transportation, reducing the risk of health damage to the queen bee caused by environmental factors, and laying a solid foundation for the subsequent normal breeding and use of the queen bee.

[0081] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
