Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of artificial beekeeping equipment, specifically to a movable-frame earthen beehive based on an improved standard hive. Background Technology

[0002] Beekeeping, or beekeeping, is the business of artificially raising bees to extract products including honey, royal jelly, propolis, pollen, beeswax, bee pupae, and bee venom. It falls under the broader category of livestock, so bees can be considered livestock in a broad sense. Beekeeping has a history spanning thousands of years, with honey utilization dating back to the hunting and fishing era.

[0003] Beehives are the most basic beekeeping tools. While their sizes vary, their basic structural principles are the same. Beginners can purchase used beehives from beekeepers, buy new beehives, or make their own according to specifications. Currently, most beekeepers use standard hives (Italian standard hives) to raise bees. A standard hive mainly consists of a standard frame, a mesh cover on the frame, and a lid. The standard frame's dimensions are 51cm long, 41cm wide, and 26cm high. Artificial combs are distributed along the length of the hive, with foundation stones fixed on top. Bees can only develop on these foundation stones, and combs must be added one by one. However, the inventors of this application, through practical beekeeping research, have found that adding too many combs to existing standard hives can lead to brood rot (yolk rot) when worker bees cannot protect them during rain, while adding too few can cause swarming. The limited space is also detrimental to colony development. This method is particularly unsuitable for working professionals and hobbyists who lack the time to manage the colony. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve existing standard hives. Utility Model Content

[0004] Adding too many combs to a standard hive can lead to brood rot if worker bees can't protect it during rain, while adding too few can cause swarming. The limited space is also detrimental to colony development. This method is particularly unsuitable for working professionals and hobbyists who lack the time and technical expertise to manage their bee colonies. This invention provides an improved movable-frame earthen hive based on the standard hive.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An improved movable-frame beehive based on a standard hive includes a standard frame, a mesh cover, and a hive lid, as well as an extended frame. The extended frame is stacked on top of the standard frame and has a hollow structure with the same external dimensions as the standard frame. The top of the two long side walls of the extended frame has an elevated section. Multiple upside-down honeycomb frames for beekeeping are erected side by side on the elevated section. A guide honeycomb is glued and fixed in the honeycomb fixing groove inside the upper horizontal bar of each upside-down honeycomb frame. The lower end of each upside-down honeycomb frame is close to the bottom plate of the standard frame. The mesh cover is placed on top of the extended frame, and the hive lid is pressed on the mesh cover. Ventilation holes are opened on the two wide side walls of the hive lid.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the movable-frame beehive based on the improved standard box provided by this utility model adds a hollow-structured heightening frame (heightening ring) to the top of the existing standard frame. The external dimensions of the heightening frame are the same as those of the standard frame. Multiple inverted honeycomb frames for beekeeping are mounted on the top of the two long side walls of the heightening frame, with their lower ends close to the bottom plate of the standard frame. A guide honeycomb is glued and fixed in the honeycomb fixing groove inside the upper horizontal bar of each inverted honeycomb frame. The lower end of each inverted honeycomb frame is close to the bottom plate of the standard frame, thereby making the honeycomb more prominent than the standard frame. The existing distribution along the length of the hive has been changed to a distribution along the width of the hive, essentially changing the honeycomb arrangement to horizontal beekeeping. This allows worker bees to build spherical combs on top of the honeycomb, protecting the brood from rotting during rain. Furthermore, by using inverted frames, all the honeycomb can be added at once and brought together, guiding worker bees to build combs freely on top while the queen bee can freely lay eggs and reproduce below. The colony can also be checked once a month to monitor its development and clean up, making it a convenient method for busy beekeepers and hobbyists.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the two long side walls of the standard frame and the heightened frame are provided with grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, the elevated section is an L-shaped step, and multiple upside-down beekeeping frames are erected at intervals on the L-shaped step.

[0010] Furthermore, the elevated portion consists of multiple L-shaped grooves spaced apart, with an upside-down beekeeping frame suspended on each L-shaped step. Attached Figure Description

[0016] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal," "radial," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides a movable-frame beehive based on an improved standard hive, including a standard frame 1, a mesh cover 2, and a hive cover 3. The standard frame 1, mesh cover 2, and hive cover 3 are components of an existing standard hive. It also includes a raised frame 4, which is stacked on top of the standard frame 1. The raised frame 4 has a hollow structure and its external dimensions are the same as those of the standard frame 1, meaning its external dimensions match those of the existing standard frame 1. The top of the two long sidewalls of the raised frame 4 has an elevated section 5, on which multiple upside-down beehive frames 6 are erected side-by-side. Specifically, the upside-down beehive frames 6 adopt the existing design published under CN1177518. In 72A, beekeeping is achieved using inverted frames. Each inverted frame 6 has a guide comb 7 glued and fixed inside the comb fixing groove on the inner side of its upper horizontal bar 61. The lower end of each inverted frame 6 is close to the bottom plate of the standard frame 1, meaning there is a gap between the lower end of the inverted frame 6 and the bottom plate of the standard frame 1, preferably 20-25mm. This not only facilitates bee movement within the hive but also ensures proper insulation and ventilation. The mesh cover 2 is placed on top of the raised frame 4, and the hive cover 3 is pressed onto the mesh cover 2. Ventilation holes 31 are provided on the two wide side walls of the hive cover 3, facilitating ventilation for the bees and ensuring fresh air inside the hive.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the movable-frame beehive based on the improved standard box provided by this utility model adds a hollow-structured heightening frame (heightening ring) to the top of the existing standard frame. The external dimensions of the heightening frame are the same as those of the standard frame. Multiple inverted honeycomb frames for beekeeping are mounted on the top of the two long side walls of the heightening frame, with their lower ends close to the bottom plate of the standard frame. A guide honeycomb is glued and fixed in the honeycomb fixing groove inside the upper horizontal bar of each inverted honeycomb frame. The lower end of each inverted honeycomb frame is close to the bottom plate of the standard frame, thereby making the honeycomb more prominent than the standard frame. The existing distribution along the length of the hive has been changed to a distribution along the width of the hive, essentially changing the honeycomb arrangement to horizontal beekeeping. This allows worker bees to build spherical combs on top of the honeycomb, protecting the brood from rotting during rain. Furthermore, by using inverted frames, all the honeycomb can be added at once and brought together, guiding worker bees to build combs freely on top while the queen bee can freely lay eggs and reproduce below. The colony can also be checked once a month to monitor its development and clean up, making it a convenient method for busy beekeepers and hobbyists.

By bending your fingers and grasping the slots 8, you can easily and conveniently move the standard frame 1 and the heightened frame 4.

[0022] As one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the elevated part 5 is an L-shaped step, that is, the entire elevated part 5 is an L-shaped step. Multiple upside-down beekeeping frames 6 are erected at intervals on the L-shaped step, thereby realizing that multiple upside-down beekeeping frames 6 are erected side by side on the top of the two long side walls of the raised frame 4.

[0023] In another specific embodiment, the elevated part 5 is a plurality of L-shaped grooves (not shown in the figure) arranged at intervals. That is, the elevated part 5 is composed of a plurality of L-shaped steps arranged side by side at intervals. Each L-shaped step is provided with an upside-down beekeeping frame 6, thereby realizing that a plurality of upside-down beekeeping frames 6 are arranged side by side on the top of the two long side walls of the raised frame 4.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
