Description

  The present invention relates to a honeycomb box, and more particularly to a honeycomb box provided with a pest control function against pests such as hive insects.

  When a bee makes a hive in a hive box, it scrapes an extra part and takes out the scum. The waste is very nutritious and produces insects (pest for bees). This pest is called a nest insect (larva of the weed grouse) and sometimes destroys the hives.

  Most insects, especially from July to September, enter the nest from the evening to the night, and lay small eggs at the bottom of the nest box, in the corner of the nest, and in an inconspicuous area of the spleen of the nest. These eggs hatch in several days if the temperature is high, and in about a month if the temperature is low, they become nest insects. The natural enemy of bees, hive insects, eat molasses of bee larvae left in nests and eat small trash etc. And because they search for them while eating out the spleen of the nest, the beehive is smashed to such an extent that it is useless.

  In addition, hive insects do not directly attack bees, but since hive insects eat and grow on nests made of wax (beeswax), many hive nests infected with hive insects can be destroyed. is there.

  As a commonly known countermeasure against nest insects, there is a method of regularly cleaning the nest insects, scraps and the like from the nest box to keep the nest clean. In this case, it is necessary to clean the bottom of the nest box cleanly. However, the task of frequently cleaning the inside of the nest box has been complicated, so simple and reliable measures against nest insects have been desired for many years.

  Also, in recent years, pest control using chemicals has been proposed as a simpler measure against insects. However, in the case of using a drug, the influence of the drug component may deteriorate the condition of honeybees and the quality of honey in the hive box.

  In view of the problems of the prior art described above, the object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily control insect pests such as hive insects without affecting the ecology of honeybees and the quality of honey in hiveboxes. , To provide a new honeycomb box.

The above purpose is
With a hive frame configured so that (incoming honeybees) can make a hive inside (
A net provided under the hive frame and configured to allow a bee insect pest (pest that has fallen from the hive frame due to bee attack or natural fall) to pass through the mesh;
And a liquid storage portion provided below the net and capable of storing a liquid receiving pests falling through the net.

  In the above-mentioned cell box, the liquid reservoir is constituted of, for example, an openable / closable drawer.

  Also, in the above-mentioned honeycomb box, the net is formed a mesh so that the insect pests of the honeybee can pass and the honeybees can not pass.

  Further, in the above-mentioned cell box, the liquid stored in the liquid storage portion (drawer portion) is made of, for example, oil.

  According to the honeycomb box of the present invention, a net configured to allow passage of insect pests (e.g., nest insects) of the bee is provided below the nest frame for forming a nest, and further, a liquid reservoir is provided below the net. Is provided. As a result, since hive insects (beef pests) that have passed through the net and fall down touch or dip in the liquid, they can not be removed from the liquid reservoir thereafter. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to protect a honeycomb easily and continuously from pests. Further, in the present invention, since no medicine is used as a measure against hive insects, the ecology of bees and the quality of honey are not adversely affected. Therefore, the honeycomb can be protected from pests such as hive insects, and the health condition of the bee in the hive can be well maintained, and high quality and natural honey can be obtained.

  Further, in the cell box of the present invention, the liquid storage part is constituted by a removable "drawer". Thereby, liquid exchange of a liquid storage part can be performed easily. In addition, it is possible to easily remove the insects which are soaked in the liquid or sink in the liquid, and it is also possible to easily remove the beehive debris dropped from above. In other words, cleaning of the liquid storage section (in particular, the bottom of the nest box) is facilitated.

  Also, in the case of the present invention, the net located above the liquid reservoir is configured to allow the passage of pests of the bee and to prevent passage of the bees. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the bees from entering the liquid storage section, and therefore it is possible to control only pests such as hive insects without damaging the bees to be protected (that is, without entering the liquid).

  Further, in the case of the present invention, the liquid stored in the drawer is made of oil. For example, when the liquid is composed of tap water, the liquid evaporates and disappears in a relatively short time, so frequent liquid replenishment is required, but by forming the liquid with oil, the liquid lasts longer and the nest box (liquid Maintenance of storage section) is facilitated. This oil may be, for example, used edible oil. As a result, it is possible to recycle the waste oil of cooking oil and to contribute to the reduction of the environmental load.

It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows an example of the honeycomb box which concerns on this invention. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows a mode that the "drawer" which the honeycomb box based on this invention comprises is put in and out. It is a top view which shows the "net" which the honeycomb box which concerns on this invention comprises. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows other embodiment of the honeycomb box which concerns on this invention.

  Hereinafter, based on an attachment, a concrete embodiment of the present invention is described.

(Composition of the cell box)
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the honeycomb box illustrated in the present embodiment mainly has the following configurations.
A multi-tiered heddle frame 3 (heavy box) configured to be able to create a hive inside.
Upper lid 5 put on the top nest frame 3 (heavy box).
-A base 9 provided with a nest 7 provided below the lowermost nest frame 3 (heavy box).
-Pest control part 12 provided under the base 9 for controlling the bee pests.

Moreover, the pest control unit 12 mainly has the following configurations.
-A net 13 configured to allow honeybee pests (hives) to pass through the mesh.
-A withdrawal type liquid storage unit 15 provided below the net 13 and capable of storing a liquid for receiving pests (a liquid that restrains pests and deprives freedom).
-Pest control stand 16 (accommodation part of liquid storage part 15, attachment part of net 13) which accommodates liquid storage part 15 in and out freely.

  The nest frame 3 is a member generally referred to as a "heavy box". Although the number of stages of the nest frame 3 is not particularly limited, in the present embodiment, a nest frame of three tiers is adopted as an example. Inside each hive frame, a cross-shaped anti-fall member 4 is provided to prevent the hive from falling. By providing the fall prevention member 4, the beehive formed in the nest frame 3 is securely held in the nest frame.

  A base 9 made of a wooden frame is provided below the lowermost nest frame 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the base 9 is formed with a nest gate 7 (a bee entrance / exit) that allows bees to freely enter and leave the nest box. As shown in FIG. 1, the nest gate 7 which is the entrance and exit of the bee is formed by cutting out a part of the plate-like member constituting the base 9 in a substantially rectangular shape. As shown in FIG. 2, the bees coming in and out between the inside and the outside of the hive via the nest gate 7 form a hive inside the hive 3, 3... Above the base 9. As shown in FIG.

  The pest control unit 12 located below the base 9 plays a role of controlling the bees pests (scarf) and functions as a base for supporting the base 9 and the nest frame 3 placed thereon. The pest control unit 12 includes a pullout-type liquid storage unit 15, a pest control base 16 that accommodates the liquid storage unit 15 in a removable manner, and a net 13 provided above the inside of the pest control base 16. Have.

  The liquid storage portion 15 included in the pest control portion 12 is a box-shaped member having side portions surrounding the four sides and a bottom plate, and as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) Open and close) is configured with a drawer. The type of liquid stored in the pullout type liquid storage unit 15 is not particularly limited, and, for example, oil is stored. When storing oil, use one that is harmless to bees (eg vegetable oil). When the pest that has fallen through the net 13 touches or dips the liquid stored in the liquid storage unit 15, the body of the pest is restrained and its freedom is taken away. Therefore, the pest does not enter the nest frame 3 again.

  Further, the net 13 of the pest control unit 12 is provided so as to be located between the lowermost nest frame 3 and the liquid storage unit 15 (the liquid storage unit 15 in a state where the drawer is closed). In the case of the present embodiment, the net 13 is stretched above the inside of the pest control table 16 accommodating the liquid storage portion 15 and is located below the nest frame 3 of the lowermost stage (and below the base 9) There is.

  The mesh size of the net 13 is designed such that the bee pests can pass through, and the bees can not pass through. In addition, this mesh size is designed to be able to pass through honeycomb debris falling from above.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the mesh size D to which the bees can not pass is specifically set to about 4 mm to 4.5 mm. By forming a mesh with such a size (less than 5 mm), pests (hives) that have been dropped from above under the attack of a bee can pass through the net 13 and fall toward the liquid, and , Bees can not pass through the net 13.

  In addition, the net 13 of the above configuration may be integrally provided at the upper end thereof with the pullout-type liquid storage unit 15. That is, the net 13 may be installed and fixed on the top of the liquid storage portion 15 so that the liquid storage portion 15 and the net 13 can be taken in and out integrally. As a result, since the net 13 can be pulled out integrally with the liquid storage part 15, not only the liquid storage part 15 but also the net 13 can be cleaned easily.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, the pest control unit 12 has a pest return unit 17 (pest guard) for preventing creeping up along the inner wall of the pest control unit 12 as shown in FIG. 2. Equipped with The pest return unit 17 functions like a so-called mouse return to protect pests crawling from below and prevent them from crawling above it.
The pest return unit 17 (pest guard) is a frame-like (square in plan view) member formed of a thin plate-like member, and the tip (inner end) thereof is pointed. It is not easy to move from the rear surface of the pest return unit 17 to the front surface. As shown in FIG. 2, the pest reversion unit 17 is provided on the inner wall of the pest control table 16 and above the net 13. In addition, the thin-plate pest reversion unit 17 is provided so as to project inward from the inner wall of the pest control table 16.
In addition, illustration of the pest return part 17 is abbreviate | omitted in FIG.

(Functional action of honeycomb box)
Next, the function and action of the above-described honeycomb box will be specifically described.

  The bees that form a nest in the nest box (the inner area of the nest frame 3) periodically scrape the debris from the nest and attack pests such as nest insects that have approached the nest or its vicinity, and are excluded from the nest (honeycomb Try to get rid of pests from Then, insect pests such as insects that have fallen from the top due to bee attacks, etc. pass through the net of the net 13 and pass through the net and move toward the liquid reservoir 15 located below the net 13. Fall. See FIG.

  In the case of the conventional cell box, pests such as insects dropped in the hive end at the bottom of the hive, but climb up inside the hive along the wall (grow up) and again in the hive frame 3 Try to enter a beehive or eat a beehive. However, in the case of the present embodiment, such a situation is prevented because the novel structure (function to control the insects) such as the liquid storage portion 15 and the net 13 is provided on the bottom side of the nest box.

  That is, the insect pests submerged or attached to the liquid in the liquid storage portion 15 can not be removed from the liquid by the surface tension of the liquid. In addition, when the pests are submerged or attached to the liquid, the pests may sometimes die. Therefore, the pest does not remain in the liquid or on the liquid, and does not enter the nest in the upper nest frame 3 beyond the net 13 thereafter.

  Also, although the possibility that pests such as insects that have fallen below the net 13 crawl up along the inner wall of the pest control platform 16 is not necessarily zero, even if such a thing occurs, the pests Pest return part 17 which overhangs from the inner wall upper part of control stand 16 functions like a so-called mouse return and protects against pests coming up from below and does not crawl up above it Make it Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation in which a pest such as a nest insect which has been expelled to the pest control unit 12 flies back to the nest in the nest frame 3 again.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, since the liquid is applied to the bottom of the nest box, preventing laying of pest eggs on the bottom of the nest and preventing hatching of the eggs at the bottom it can. In addition, by putting a liquid on the bottom of the hive box, it is possible to prevent the corpses of pests and the waste of the beehive from sticking firmly to the bottom of the hive box, which makes cleaning of the hive easier.

  In addition, a situation where a bee erroneously attempts to enter below the net 13 or a weak bee falls below the net 13 is also assumed. However, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, since the net is configured in a size that the bees can not pass through, as described above, falling of the weak bees as described above (over the net 13 toward the liquid reservoir 15 It is possible to prevent the falling) and the erroneous approach of the bees (inappropriate entering of the liquid storage portion 15 over the mesh 13).

  Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily and continuously control pests such as hive insects without affecting the ecology of bees and the quality of honey in hiveboxes. Also, they do not damage the bees they are protecting.

(Other embodiments of the honeycomb box)
The embodiment described above is an example of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the honeycomb box described in the claims includes the embodiment as shown in FIG.

  The honeycomb box of the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 has a pest return plate 21 which functions in the same manner as the pest return unit 17. This honeycomb box is set on the support 23. The area of the pest return plate 21 is larger than the bottom of the honeycomb box. Further, the area of the upper surface of the support 23 is smaller than the area of the lower surface of the pest return plate 20. Further, the upper surface of the support 23 is accommodated inside the lower surface area of the pest return plate 20. Therefore, the pest-returning plate 20 projects from above the support 23.

  According to the honeycomb box as shown in FIG. 5, it has crawled from the installation surface (ground) of the honeycomb box by the action of the pest-reverting plate 21 provided on the bottom surface and functioning like a rat return It can prevent pests such as ants from entering the cell box.
