Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of beekeeping technology, specifically relating to a multi-box natural beehive. Background Technology
[0002] Beehives are the places where bees live and reproduce during beekeeping and are the most basic beekeeping tools. Beehives, along with foundation machines and honey extractors, are known as the three major inventions of beekeeping tools. It was the use of these beekeeping tools that ended the traditional beekeeping production method of using earthen nests and destroying nests to extract honey that had existed for thousands of years, laying the foundation for modern beekeeping and enabling beekeeping production to take a huge leap forward.
[0003] Existing beehives are generally single-box in form, with bee breeding and honey production taking place in the same box. Before the honey flow season, bees reproduce in large numbers, making the space inside the beehive even more cramped. Bees are prone to "swarming" due to space constraints. Furthermore, since honey production and breeding are located in the same box, honey needs to be harvested frequently due to space limitations. The honey harvesting process can disturb the queen bee and affect the bees' honey production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-box natural beehive with a simple structure and reasonable design in order to solve the above problems.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A multi-box natural beehive includes a square tube support frame on which multiple standard boxes are fixedly mounted. These standard boxes are linearly distributed along the length of the support frame. Each standard box has a honeycomb opening on its outer side, and a honeycomb entrance for sealing the opening is rotatably connected within the opening. A support frame is fixedly connected to the top of each standard box. A first annular groove is formed on the upper surface of the support frame. Multiple partitions are fixedly connected within the inner cavity of the support frame. The gaps between adjacent partitions allow bees to pass through but not the larger queen bee. A honey-producing box is located on the top of each standard box, with both ends open. A snap-fit flange, matching the size of the inner cavity of the first annular groove, is integrally formed on the bottom periphery of the honey-producing box. A second annular groove for accommodating the snap-fit flange is formed on the top side wall of the honey-producing box. Handles are provided on both the standard boxes and the honey-producing box. A cover plate is also provided on the top of the honey-producing box.
[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the standard box. The length of the connecting plate is greater than the length of the standard box. Bolts are passed through both ends of the connecting plate and are screwed to the upper surface of the square tube support after passing through the connecting plate.
[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, an observation hole is provided on the side of the standard box away from the nest hole, and a sealing plate is provided inside the observation hole. The periphery of the sealing plate is snapped and fixed to the inner wall of the observation hole.
[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, two support plates are symmetrically arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the standard box, and a nest is arranged between the two support plates. The end of the nest overlaps with the upper surface of the support plate, and the nest is suspended in the standard box by the support plate.
[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, a movable frame is suspended in the inner cavity of the honey box, and a mesh is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the movable frame.
[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, both ends of the lower surface of the cover plate are fixedly connected with insert plates that are aligned with the second annular slot. The insert plates are inserted into the second annular slot, and the upper surface of the cover plate is inclined outward to form a slope.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the top of the standard box can connect multiple honey production boxes through the first annular slot on the upper surface of the support frame, which, together with the snap-fit flange and the second annular slot at both ends of the honey production box, can connect multiple honey production boxes. The partition installed inside the support frame can prevent the queen bee from entering the honey production box. The setting of multiple honey production boxes can not only increase space and prevent bees from swarming due to overcrowding, but also greatly reduce the frequency of honey harvesting. Honey storage and reproduction are carried out in different boxes, so that the honey harvesting process will not affect the queen bee in the bottom standard box, and therefore will not affect the honey production efficiency of bees.

[0019] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0020] Example
[0021] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a multi-box natural beehive includes a square tube support 1. The square tube support 1 can support the beehive until it is detached from the ground, reducing the erosion of the beehive by ground moisture while keeping the inside of the beehive dry to improve the quality of honey.
[0022] Multiple standard boxes 2 for bee breeding are fixedly installed on the square tube support 1. The multiple standard boxes 2 are linearly distributed along the length of the square tube support 1. A connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the standard box 2. The length of the connecting plate 3 is greater than the length of the standard box 2. Bolts are passed through both ends of the connecting plate 3. After the bolts pass through the connecting plate 3, they are screwed to the upper surface of the square tube support 1 to fix the standard box 2 stably connected to the upper surface of the square tube support 1.
[0023] The standard box 2 has a nest hole 4 on the outside. A nest door 5 is rotatably connected inside the nest hole 4 to seal the nest hole 4. When bees need to go out, the nest door 5 can be rotated to open the nest hole 4. When bees do not need to enter or leave, the nest door 5 can be closed to seal the nest hole 4.
[0024] An observation hole is provided on the side of the standard box 2 away from the hive hole 4. A sealing plate 6 is installed inside the observation hole. The sealing plate 6 is snapped and fixed to the inner wall of the observation hole. When it is necessary to observe the breeding status of bees in the standard box 2, the sealing plate 6 can be pulled outward to detach the sealing plate 6 from the observation hole, so that the user can observe the internal condition of the standard box 2 through the observation hole.
[0025] The standard box 2 has two symmetrical support plates on its inner walls on both sides. The honeycomb 7 is placed between the two support plates. The end of the honeycomb 7 overlaps with the upper surface of the support plate. The honeycomb 7 is suspended in the standard box 2 through the support plate, so that the queen bee can lay eggs in the honeycomb 7 to reproduce.
[0026] A support frame 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the standard box 2. A first annular groove 9 is opened on the upper surface of the support frame 8. Multiple partitions 10 are fixedly connected in the inner cavity of the support frame 8. The gap formed between adjacent partitions 10 can allow bees to pass through but cannot allow the larger queen bee to pass through. A honey-producing box 11 is set on the top of the standard box 2.
[0027] A movable frame 12 is suspended inside the honey box 11. A mesh 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable frame 12. Both ends of the honey box 11 are open. According to the bees' habit of storing honey upwards, the bees will pass through the gaps between the partitions 10 to enter the honey box 11 and produce honey on the mesh 13 installed in the movable frame 12. However, since the queen bee cannot pass through the gaps between the partitions 10, the queen bee can only lay eggs and reproduce in the standard box 2, so that the bees' honey production and reproduction can be carried out in different boxes.
[0028] The bottom periphery of the honey box 11 is integrally formed with a snap-fit flange 14 that matches the size of the inner cavity of the first annular slot 9, so that the honey box 11 can be snapped into the first annular slot 9 opened on the top support frame 8 of the standard box 2 through the snap-fit flange 14, so that the honey box 11 and the standard box 2 can be stably connected.
[0029] The top side wall of the honey box 11 is provided with a second annular groove 15 for accommodating the snap-fit flange 14. When a single honey box 11 is not enough to store honey, the user can use the second annular groove 15 and snap-fit flange 14 at both ends of the honey box 11 to cooperate with the multi-layer stacked honey box 11 to further increase the honey storage space of the beehive.
[0030] Both the standard box 2 and the honey production box 11 are equipped with handles 16. When it is necessary to extract honey, the user can remove the upper honey production box 11 through the handles 16, then take out the movable frame 12 set inside the honey production box 11, and extract honey through an external honey extractor. The multi-layer honey production box 11 can greatly reduce the frequency of honey extraction. The honey extraction process will not affect the queen bee in the bottom standard box 2, so it will not affect the honey production efficiency of the bees.
[0031] The top of the honey box 11 is also covered with a cover plate 17. Both ends of the lower surface of the cover plate 17 are fixedly connected with insert plates 18 that are aligned with the second annular slot 15. The insert plates 18 are inserted into the second annular slot 15, so that the cover plate 17 can be stably connected to the honey box 11 located at the top layer, and the problem of the cover plate 17 easily slipping off after being subjected to external force is avoided as much as possible. The upper surface of the cover plate 17 is inclined outward to form a slope 19. Through the design of the slope 19, rainwater can be quickly drained down in rainy weather, and the problem of rainwater entering the honey box 11 and contaminating the honey and affecting the quality of the honey is avoided as much as possible.
[0032] It should be noted that this multi-box natural beehive includes multiple standard boxes 2 fixed on a square tube bracket 1. The top of each standard box 2 is connected to a honey-producing box 11 via a first annular groove 9 on a support frame 8 and a snap-fit flange 14. A partition 10 is installed inside the support frame 8 to prevent the queen bee from entering the honey-producing box 11. Based on the bees' habit of storing honey upwards, bees will pass through the gaps between the partitions 10 to enter the honey-producing box 11 and produce honey on the mesh 13 installed in the movable frame 12. Since the queen bee cannot pass through the gaps between the partitions 10, she can only lay eggs and reproduce within the standard box 2, thus achieving… Honey production and reproduction by bees take place in different hives. The top of the honey production hive 11 is provided with a second annular slot 15. When a single honey production hive 11 cannot meet the honey storage requirements, the honey production hive 11 can be equipped with a multi-layer stacked honey production hive 11 by setting the second annular slot 15 and the snap-fit flange 14 at both ends to further increase the honey storage space of the hive. The setting of the multi-layer honey production hive 11 can not only increase the space and prevent bees from swarming due to overcrowding, but also greatly reduce the frequency of honey harvesting. Honey storage and reproduction take place in different hives, so that the honey harvesting process will not affect the queen bee in the bottom standard hive 2, and therefore will not affect the honey production efficiency of bees.
[0033] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
