Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beekeeping machinery, specifically to an improvement of a beehive box for beekeeping. Background Technology

[0002] Although my country is a major beekeeping country, with the largest number of beekeepers in the world, its production methods are outdated and labor productivity is low. While each beekeeper in other countries may manage hundreds of bee colonies, in my country the average is only about 30.

[0003] In the past, each person managed only a few acres of land; with the advancement of production tools, cultivating hundreds of acres per person is no longer a problem. Every industry transitions from low to high efficiency, and beekeeping is no exception. Intensive and large-scale beekeeping needs to free beekeepers from the burden of heavy daily management.

[0004] Beehives are the basic facilities for beekeeping. The current standard beehive consists of a brood box, queen excluder, super, secondary cover, and box cover. The brood box consists of the bottom and the brood box ring.

[0005] Traditional brood boxes have several drawbacks that need to be addressed. Solving these drawbacks will allow beekeepers to significantly reduce the time spent managing individual bee colonies while simultaneously increasing production and income:

[0006] 1. Traditional beehive bottoms are made of wood. The wood structure, which is in constant contact with the ground, is prone to rot and termite infestation. Every autumn and winter, beekeepers need to spend a lot of time repairing the beehive bottoms that have been damaged by termites.

[0007] 2. During seasons when pollen is scarce, beekeepers need to feed beekeepers substitute pollen paste. Feeding the substitute pollen paste requires placing it on the top bar of the honeycomb. The process involves opening the top and bottom covers of the hive, using smoke to drive away the bees, placing the pollen paste, closing the bottom cover, and closing the top cover. The whole process is time-consuming and can damage the bees.

[0008] 3. When there is abundant external pollen, beekeepers use pollen collectors to collect high-value natural pollen from the hind legs of bees for sale. Traditional hives have pollen collectors installed at the hive entrance, which, due to limited installation space, results in fewer pollen collection holes, causing congestion for bees entering and exiting and reducing pollen production. The pollen collection box of traditional hives is located outside the hive, making it easy for pollen to be contaminated by rain or sandstorms.

[0009] 4. Varroa mites are the cause of the greatest losses in beekeeping. Using drugs to kill varroa mites is a routine operation in beekeeping production. The process of placing drugs is as time-consuming and labor-intensive as feeding pollen paste and also damages the bees.

[0010] 5. Selling nectar collected by bees at high prices during the flowering season and feeding them cheap sugar substitutes after the flowers have faded is a profitable beekeeping method. Traditional methods of feeding sugar substitutes require opening the hive lid, removing the covering cloth, pouring the syrup into a sugar box inside the hive, closing the covering cloth, and then closing the hive lid again. This process is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has long been a source of frustration for beekeepers. Utility Model Content

[0011] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a multifunctional hive box. It addresses the deficiencies and deficiencies of existing beehives by providing a multifunctional hive box. Through a comprehensive transformation of existing hive boxes, it reduces the labor intensity of beekeeping producers, increases the quantity and quality of beehives, and enables the creation of more bee products with less manpower and resources in the same amount of time, thereby increasing economic income and social benefits.

[0012] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: it includes a hive ring 1 and a multi-functional beehive base 2. The hive ring 1 is fixed to the multi-functional beehive base 2 with screws. The hive ring 1 is fixed to the upper circumference of the multi-functional beehive base 2. A right-angle support groove 111 is provided on the inner side of the top of the front hive plate 11, and a right-angle support groove 121 is provided on the inner side of the top of the rear hive plate 12. The right-angle support groove 111 and the right-angle support groove 121 of the front hive plate work together to support the honeycomb.

[0013] The hive ring 1 includes a front box 11, a rear box 12, and two side box 13. The front box 11, the rear box 12, and the two side box 13 form a through box ring. The four box plates of the hive ring 1 are of equal height. Several bee passage holes 14 are provided on the front box 11. A conical bee exit frame 15 or a hole plug 16 is inserted into the bee passage holes 14.

[0014] The multifunctional beehive base 2 includes an integrated base frame 21, a drawer-type pollen box 214, a pollen removal plate 216, a multifunctional box 218, and a cover plate 219. Two support beams 211 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the integrated base frame 21. Several screw holes 212 are provided on all four edges of the integrated base frame 21. A pollen box support strip 213 is provided on the front bottom of the integrated base frame 21, and a drawer-type pollen box 214 is movably inserted into the pollen box support strip 213. A pollen leakage hole 215 is provided on the upper part of the drawer-type pollen box 214. The pollen leakage hole 215 is an integral structure with the integrated base frame 21. A pollen removal plate 216 is provided above the pollen leakage hole 215. A multifunctional box drawer frame 217 is provided on the rear bottom of the integrated base frame 21, and a multifunctional box 218 is movably inserted into the multifunctional box drawer frame 217. A cover plate 219 is provided on the upper part of the multifunctional box 218, and a worker bee passage hole 2191 is provided on the cover plate 219.

[0015] The integrated base frame 21 is injection molded in one piece, forming a single structure. This integrated structure reduces production costs and extends service life. The injection-molded material of the integrated base frame 21 prevents termites from damaging the bottom of the hive, eliminating the need for beekeepers to spend time repairing termite-damaged wooden hive bottoms. The multi-functional box 218 at the rear bottom of the multi-functional hive base 2 can be used for feeding pollen paste, feeding syrup, and storing volatile medications. The multi-functional box 218 is U-shaped. When feeding syrup substitutes, the U-shaped multi-functional box 218 is pulled out from the rear area, and syrup is poured in through the cover plate 219 and then pushed in. This process is more time-saving and labor-saving compared to traditional syrup substitute feeding methods. When bee mites need to be eradicated, the U-shaped feeding box is pulled out, volatile acaricides are placed in the U-shaped multi-functional box, and then pushed in. This process is more time-saving and labor-saving compared to traditional mite treatment methods. When the bee colony needs to be fed pollen paste, simply pull out the multi-functional box, put in the pollen paste, and then put it back in. It's simple and convenient. The worker bee access hole 2191 makes it easy for worker bees to enter the multi-functional box to feed.

[0016] The multi-functional box 218 is a U-shaped drawer. It includes a front area 2181 and a rear area 2182. The front area 2181 is covered by a cover plate 219. The rear area 2182 is divided into two regions by a central isolation groove 2183. Several climbing walls 2184 are provided in the rear area 2182. The cross-section of the climbing wall 2184 is trapezoidal, and multiple climbing grooves 2185 are provided on both sides of the climbing wall 2184. The climbing wall 2184 near the front area 2181 divides the multi-functional box 218 into the front and rear areas. Several through grooves 21841 are provided on each climbing wall 2184. The width D of the through groove on the climbing wall 2184 near the front area is 4.2-4.5mm, which only allows worker bees to enter and exit freely.

[0017] The multi-functional box 218 can be used to hold syrup and water for feeding bees. The climbing wall 2184 allows bees to climb up and down easily. The isolation slot 2183 corresponds to the upper dead partition to prevent queen bees from meeting each other. The width D of the through slot on the climbing wall 2184 near the front area is 4.2-4.5mm, which is also to allow worker bees to pass through, but not queen bees, thus ensuring that the two queen bees in the hive will not meet.

[0018] The multifunctional beehive bottom 2 is provided with a dead partition seat 23 in the middle, and the hive ring 1 is provided with a vertical dead partition 3 in the middle. The dead partition 3 is inserted into the dead partition seat 23 of the integrated base frame 21.

[0019] This utility model, as a breeding area for bee colonies, adds a dead partition 3 to divide the hive ring 11 into two queen bee areas, allowing two queen bees to be raised at the same time, thereby improving breeding efficiency.

[0020] The multifunctional beehive bottom 2 is fixed to the hive ring 1 by screws in the bottom screw hole 212.

[0021] The powder removal plate 216 is evenly provided with a plurality of powder removal holes 2161, and a number of circular protrusions 2162 are provided at the inner edge of the powder removal holes 2161.

[0022] Two hive doors 24 are formed at the connection between the multifunctional beehive bottom 2 and the front hive panel 11. A hive door panel 4 is provided in front of the hive door 24. The two ends of the hive door panel 4 are fixed to the side hive panels 13 on both sides. Two bee inlets 41 are provided on the hive door panel 4. A hive door panel sub-panel 42 is provided between the hive door panel 4 and the front hive panel 11. The hive door panel sub-panel 42 is a panel that can move left and right.

[0023] When there is sufficient pollen in the outside world and it is time to remove pollen, after installing the pollen removal plate 216 and the hive entrance plate 4, remove the plug cap 16 from the bee passage hole 14 on the hive ring 1 and install the conical bee exit frame 15. The bees fly out from the conical bee exit frame 15, collect pollen and return, pass through the hive entrance plate 4 and enter the hive through the hive entrance 24, and then crawl out through the pollen removal hole 2161 on the pollen removal plate 216. When crawling out, the bees scrape off the pollen grains on their hind legs, and the removed pollen grains fall into the drawer-type pollen box 214 through the pollen leakage hole 215. The multi-functional hive bottom, together with the hive ring 1, realizes pollen removal and pollen collection.

[0024] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by comprehensively transforming the existing hive boxes, it reduces the labor intensity of beekeeping producers, increases the quantity and quality of beehives, and can create more bee products with less manpower and material resources in the same amount of time, thereby increasing economic income and social benefits.
