Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a bee climate box breeding device, belonging to the field of breeding technology, specifically to a device for feeding bees in a climate box. Background Technology

[0002] Honeybees, as insects of the order Hymenoptera, possess a socialized social structure and a clear division of labor. The queen bee is responsible for laying eggs, worker bees are responsible for collecting nectar and building the nest, and drones participate in reproduction. Their habit of feeding on nectar and pollen makes them crucial to ecology and agriculture: while collecting nectar, they can pollinate plants, with over 70% of global food crops and 80% of flowering plants relying on them for pollination, increasing crop yields by more than 30%. They can also produce honey, beeswax, and other products with both edible and industrial value. Furthermore, they are sensitive to the environment, and population changes can serve as an "ecological indicator" reflecting environmental health.

[0003] Given the multiple values ​​of bees, it is crucial to conduct experiments focusing on pesticide toxicity testing and the impact of climate change. These experiments require the use of climate chambers to simulate different climatic conditions in order to accurately study the effects of environmental factors on bee growth and development. Specialized feeding equipment adapted to climate chambers is the fundamental guarantee for the successful conduct of these experiments.

[0004] However, existing traditional insect rearing devices have significant drawbacks: First, they are not adapted to the characteristics of bees, lacking suitable hive space and good ventilation, resulting in a poor living environment for bees and affecting the reliability of experimental data; second, the components are unstable, easily loosening and falling apart, interrupting the experimental process; third, the user-unfriendly design makes it difficult to pick up newly emerged bees and observe the hive, requiring frequent disassembly during operation, which increases the difficulty and may damage the bees, severely reducing research efficiency. Therefore, the development of a dedicated bee rearing device adapted to climate chambers has become an urgent need. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to design a device for feeding bees in a climate chamber. This device is easy to carry, has a stable structure, is easy to observe, highly replicates the internal structure of the beehive, and facilitates the release and release of bees, thus ensuring the high efficiency of the experiment.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a device for feeding bees in a climate chamber, comprising an upper inner cover plate, a honeycomb support plate, a right side plate, a left side plate, a bottom plate, a front inner cover plate, and a rear plate. The bottom plate is placed horizontally at the bottom. The front inner cover plate, the right side plate, the left side plate, and the rear plate are respectively arranged around the bottom plate and connected to each other by nuts and fasteners. The upper inner cover plate is arranged at the top and is connected to the front inner cover plate, the right side plate, the left side plate, and the rear plate by nuts and fasteners. Two honeycomb support plates are arranged on the upper sides between the front inner cover plate and the rear plate, and honeycomb is placed on the honeycomb support plates.

[0007] The upper inner cover plate has a square structure, and a square hole is provided in the middle of the upper inner cover plate for removing the honeycomb.

[0008] Above the upper inner cover plate is an upper outer cover plate that can be pulled out laterally, and the upper outer cover plate can cover the square hole of the upper inner cover plate.

[0009] The front inner cover has a rectangular hole in the middle, which allows researchers to easily pick up newly emerged bees, observe and process the beehive, and add feed.

[0010] The front inner cover is also provided with a front outer plate that can be pulled upwards. The front outer plate can block the rectangular hole on the front inner cover. Several small ventilation holes are provided on the front outer plate.

[0011] The rear panel is provided with several small ventilation holes.

[0012] The left side plate is higher than the right side plate, which can block the upper outer cover plate and prevent it from sliding to the left.

[0013] A bee climate box breeding device includes six basic surfaces and two additional surfaces. The six basic surfaces are connected and fixed to each other with bolts and aluminum six-sided square nuts. The two additional surfaces are installed and fixed by a snap-locking and pull-out method, which facilitates the opening and closing of the device.

[0014] The left and right side plates are respectively equipped with brackets for placing the honeycomb. The left side plate is higher than the right side plate, which can block the upper outer plate and prevent it from extending to the left side plate. The 4mm hole is used to install bolts and aluminum hexagonal square nuts.

[0015] The left and right side plates are each equipped with brackets for placing the honeycomb. The 4mm holes are for installing bolts and aluminum six-sided square nuts.

[0016] The honeycomb support plate is connected and fixed to the left and right side plates respectively by bolts and nuts, and is used to place the honeycomb.

[0017] The upper inner cover plate has a rectangular gap in the middle for placing the honeycomb. There are 4mm holes around the perimeter for connecting and fixing to the side plates, rear plates, and front inner cover plate with bolts and nuts.

[0018] The front inner cover has a rectangular gap in the middle for collecting newly emerged bees, observing and treating the hive, and adding feed. It has 4mm holes around the perimeter for bolts and nuts to connect and secure it to the side panels, rear panel, and front inner cover.

[0019] The base plate has 4mm holes around its perimeter, which are used to connect and fix it to the side plates, front plate and rear plate with bolts and nuts.

[0020] The rear plate has 4mm holes around its perimeter, which are used to connect and fix it to the side plate, the upper inner cover plate and the bottom plate with bolts and nuts. There are also dense 2mm holes in the middle for ventilation.

[0021] The front outer panel has densely packed 2mm holes in the middle for ventilation.

[0022] The main body is made of colorless and transparent acrylic material, while the nuts and studs are made of 304 stainless steel.

[0023] The front inner cover and rear panel have the same height and width, and the 4mm external holes are in the same position for easy installation. The right side panel has the same height as the front inner cover, and the holes are in the same horizontal position for easy installation. The upper part of the left side panel is higher than the right side panel, and the holes in other positions are mirrored with those of the right side panel. The outer dimensions of the upper inner cover, upper outer panel, and bottom panel are the same, and the holes in the upper inner cover and bottom panel are in the same position. The height of the front outer panel is the same as that of the rear panel, and its width is the width of the rear panel minus the sum of the thicknesses of the two side panels.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the existing technology, the technical solution of this utility model ensures convenient and quick use during the process, simultaneously achieving the functions of placing the beehive, facilitating transportation, eliminating the need to divide the beehive, and ensuring its integrity. It facilitates observation of the bees, easy capture and handling of the beehive, and convenient addition of bee feed. Furthermore, the side panels, top panel, and bottom panel can be replaced to change the dimensions according to the required size, demonstrating strong adaptability. Attached Figure Description
