[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a split-type bee collection cage, including a bee inlet bag 10, a collection cage 20, and a telescopic rod 30. The collection cage 20 is detachably connected to the output end of the bee inlet bag 10. The input end of the bee inlet bag 10 is provided with an escape-prevention movable closing part 40, and the input end of the bee inlet bag 10 is provided with a bee entry frame 11. One end of the telescopic rod 30 is installed on the outside of the bee entry frame 11 through an angle adjustment component 50. The bee inlet bag 10 can be made of a semi-transparent cloth bag to allow observation of the bee collection process. The bee entry frame 11 can be a circular rigid frame. During bee collection, the bee swarm can be gently scraped by moving the bee entry frame 11 back and forth, causing the bee swarm to fall into the cage without manually herding or grabbing the bees. This allows for bee swarm collection without manual herding, ensuring successful collection of the queen bee in a single collection. The telescopic rod 30 is existing technology and can be a multi-section telescopic rod, connected by buckles or threads to achieve the telescopic function. Its specific structure will not be detailed in this application.

[0028] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one specific embodiment of this application, the angle adjustment component 50 includes a first gear seat 51 and a second gear seat 52 that can mesh with each other. A mounting base 12 is provided on the outer side of the beehive frame 11. The first gear seat 51 is detachably connected to the mounting base 12 via a first connector 53. The second gear seat 52 is detachably mounted on one end of the telescopic rod 30 via a second connector 54. First screw holes 55 are provided at opposite positions on both the first gear seat 51 and the second gear seat 52. A hand-tightening screw 56 is movably inserted into the first screw hole 55. Specifically, toothed surfaces 58 that can mesh with each other are provided at opposite ends of the first gear seat 51 and the second gear seat 52. The first gear seat 51 and the second gear seat 52 are connected by the hand-tightening screw 56. Loosening the hand-tightening screw 56 adjusts the angle formed by the first gear seat 51 and the second gear seat 52; tightening the hand-tightening screw 56 fixes the angle formed by the first gear seat 51 and the second gear seat 52.

[0029] Furthermore, to facilitate the rapid disassembly and assembly of the telescopic rod 30 and the bee collection cage, and to expedite subsequent operations such as collecting scattered bees, both the first connector 53 and the second connector 54 include screws 57. A second screw hole, capable of engaging with the screws 57, is provided on one end of the telescopic rod 30 and on the mounting base 12. One end of each set of screws 57 is respectively mounted on one side of the corresponding first gear seat 51 or second gear seat 52, and the other end of each set of screws 57 is movably inserted into the corresponding second screw hole. A butterfly head may also be provided on the screws 57 for applying force during disassembly and assembly.

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one specific embodiment of this application, the escape-prevention movable closing component 40 includes a conical cloth tube 41. The input end of the conical cloth tube 41 is installed on the input end of the bee-feeding bag 10, and the output end of the conical cloth tube 41 extends into the bee-feeding bag 10. The inner diameter of the conical cloth tube 41 gradually decreases from the input end to the output end. A first movable closing rope 42 is provided on the output end of the conical cloth tube 41. Utilizing the principle that bee swarms only climb upwards or fly diagonally after entering the bee-collecting cage, the conical cloth tube 41 is made of cloth and adopts an escape-prevention inverted conical closing design, allowing bees to enter but not exit. This can collect most bee swarms, and the collected bee swarms cannot escape, greatly improving the success rate of bee collection. A rope-threading ring can be provided on the output end of the conical cloth tube 41. The rope is threaded through the rope-threading ring, and pig-nose-shaped rope-closing buckles are threaded through both ends of the rope to form a movable closing structure. After the bee swarms are collected, the first movable closing rope 42 can be used to close the cage, confining the bee swarm inside.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one specific embodiment of this application, existing integrated bee collection cages cannot be used for secondary collection; and if the queen bee is not collected during the first collection, the collection will fail, and the remaining scattered bees cannot be collected again; furthermore, the entrance and exit of the integrated bee collection cage are in the same location, making it easy for bees to enter but difficult for them to exit, and also causing difficulties in transferring bees back into the hive. Therefore, the middle section of this device adopts a split structure. The output end of the bee inlet bag 10 is provided with an upper zipper tab 13, and the input end of the collection cage 20 is provided with a lower zipper tab 21 that can cooperate with the upper zipper tab 13. The upper zipper tab 13 and the lower zipper tab 21 are detachably connected by a zipper head. Velcro or snaps can also be used instead of zippers to reduce costs. After collection, once the bee colony is stable, the zipper can be opened directly. At this time, the bee colony inside the collection cage 20 has clustered together, making it easy to continue collecting the remaining scattered bees.

[0032] Furthermore, the outer cover of the collection cage 20 is equipped with a light-blocking sleeve 22, and the zipper piece 21 is located on the opening of the light-blocking sleeve 22. The collection cage 20 can be made of bamboo, and the light-blocking sleeve 22 reduces interference from strong external light on the bees, making it easier for bees to enter the collection cage 20 and improving bee collection efficiency. The inside of the collection cage 20 is equipped with a bee-attracting box 25, used to apply honey or other bee-attracting substances to improve bee collection. Furthermore, the bottom of the collection cage 20 is equipped with a hanging rope 26 for easy hanging in a suitable position to continue collecting scattered bees. In addition, an outward-folding closing cloth tube 23 is connected to the outside of the opening end of the light-blocking sleeve 22, and the opening end of the outward-folding closing cloth tube 23 is equipped with a second movable closing rope 24. The outward-folding closing cloth tube 23 is mainly used for long-distance transfer after bee collection. When collecting bees, the outward-folded closing cloth tube 23 is turned up so that it covers the outside of the collection cage 20. After collecting the bees, if it is necessary to transfer the bees over a long distance, it can be turned down to cover the opening of the collection cage 20, and the opening is closed by the second movable closing rope 24, which serves to seal the opening of the collection cage 20.

[0033] When collecting bees, first adjust the height and angle of the telescopic rod 30 and the angle adjustment component 50 according to the position of the bee colony. Extend the bee entry frame 11 towards the bee colony, so that the bee entry bag 10 covers the bee colony. Move the frame 11 back and forth under the bee colony to gently scrape the bee colony, allowing the bee colony to pass through the bee entry bag 10 and enter the collection cage 20. After the bee colony falls into the bee entry bag 10 and the collection cage 20, immediately retract the telescopic rod 30 and close the opening with the first movable drawstring 42 to prevent the bees from escaping. Then, remove the telescopic rod 30, and hang the bee entry bag 10 and the collection cage 20 upside down in a suitable position using the hanging rope 26. Continue to tap the bee entry bag 10 to move the bees into the collection cage 20. Once the bee colony is stable, you can directly unzip the zipper. At this time, the bee colony in the collection cage 20 has clustered together, making it easier to collect the remaining scattered bees. After the scattered bees have been collected, untie the hanging rope 26 and put the collected bees in the collection cage 20 into the beehive to complete the bee collection operation.

[0034] This utility model discloses a split-type bee-collecting cage. Through the design of the telescopic rod 30 and the angle adjustment component 50, the length and angle of the bee-collecting cage can be flexibly adjusted according to the height and position of the bees, meeting the bee-collecting needs in various difficult locations. Bees can be collected from any angle without climbing to a high place. Furthermore, the bee-entry frame 11 is similar to a landing net; during bee collection, by swinging the telescopic rod 30 back and forth, the bee-entry frame 11 gently scrapes the bee swarm into the collecting cage 20, eliminating the need to manually drive or grab the bees into the cage. Simultaneously, the escape-prevention movable closing component 40 prevents bees from escaping in the opposite direction. The connection between the bee-entry bag 10 and the collecting cage 20 adopts a detachable structure. After collection, once the bee swarm has stabilized and the bees in the collecting cage 20 have clustered together, the collecting cage 20 can be separated and hung in a tree or other location for continued collection of any remaining scattered bees.

[0035] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
