The three end structures 2 respectively comprise an end lower shell 21, an end cover plate 22 and an inserting plate 23, the three end lower shells 21 respectively define end cavities, openings are respectively formed in the tops of the three end cavities, and the three end cover plates 22 respectively correspondingly cover the openings of the three end cavities; one end of each of the three end cavities is provided with an inlet and an outlet, and the three end lower shells 21 are respectively detachably fixed on the Y-shaped lower shell 11 correspondingly and are positioned at the other ends of the branched cavities, so that the three inlets and the outlets are respectively communicated with the other ends of the three branched cavities correspondingly; the three insertion plates 23 are respectively inserted into the three end lower shells in a corresponding manner so as to respectively close the three inlets and outlets.
Specifically, the base structure 1 includes a Y-shaped lower case 11, a Y-shaped cover 12, and a center swing door 13; the Y-shaped lower shell 11 defines a middle cavity and three branch cavities, one ends of the three branch cavities are respectively communicated with the middle cavity to form a Y-shaped cavity, and a Y-shaped labyrinth moving space can be provided for bees. Be equipped with a plurality of first lamp mounting holes 111 on the cavity of middle chamber, a plurality of first lamp mounting holes 111 all are used for installing the lamp, and the light that sends through the lamp gives the stimulus of the colour of honeybee light. The top of the Y-shaped cavity is provided with a Y-shaped opening, and the Y-shaped cover plate 12 is covered at the Y-shaped opening in a matching manner, so that bees in the Y-shaped cavity are prevented from running out of the Y-shaped opening, and meanwhile, the processing and the assembly of parts of the base structure 1 are facilitated. The Y-shaped cover plate 12 is provided with a central hole, which is convenient for installing the central revolving door 13. The central revolving door 13 is fittingly and rotatably installed in the central hole to close or open one end of any one of the branch cavities, the moving route of the bees can be controlled according to the experimental needs by rotating the central revolving door 13, for example, when one end of a certain branch cavity is closed, the bees in the branch cavity can be prevented from entering the central cavity or the bees in the central cavity can be prevented from entering the branch cavity; when one end of a branch cavity with a bee is opened, the bee can enter the central cavity from the branch cavity or enter the branch cavity from the central cavity.
The three end structures 2 each comprise an end lower shell 21, an end cover plate 22 and an insert plate 23. The three end shells 21 define end cavities which can be used as starting or ending points of bees in the Y-shaped labyrinth active space.

Meanwhile, because the fixed mode between the end lower shell 21 and the Y-shaped lower shell 11 is a detachable mode, therefore, the mutual exchange positions of the three end structures 2 can be realized, the process that the honeybee returns to the starting point from the terminal point is realized, for example, during the experiment, when the honeybee reaches another end cavity after passing through the Y-shaped cavity from one end cavity, namely the starting point, namely the terminal point, when the next round of experiment is needed, only the end lower shell 21 of the terminal point needs to be detached from the Y-shaped lower shell 11, the end structure 2 of the terminal point can be integrally detached from the base structure, meanwhile, the end structure 2 of the honeybee starting point of the next round of experiment is detached, the exchange installation of the two detached end structure 2 positions is realized, so that the honeybee returns to the starting point of the next round of experiment, and the operation is convenient. The three insertion plates 23 are respectively inserted into the three lower end parts in a corresponding and extractable manner so as to respectively close the three inlets and the three outlets, so that the end part cavities can limit the moving routes of bees by arranging the insertion plates 23 at the inlets and the outlets, for example, when the insertion plates 23 are extracted, the end part cavities can be communicated with the corresponding branch cavities, and the bees can enter the corresponding branch cavities from the end part cavities through the inlets and the outlets or enter the end part cavities from the corresponding branch cavities; when the insert plate 23 is inserted, it is possible to make the end cavities not in communication with the corresponding branch cavities, from which the bees cannot enter or from which the bees enter.
According to the Y-shaped labyrinth 1000 for the research experiment of bee behaviours, in the experiment, a bee is placed into an end cavity serving as a starting point, the inserting plate 23 on the end structure 2 at the starting point is pulled out, and the bee enters the corresponding branch cavity from the end cavity at the starting point; then the inserting plate 23 is inserted again to close the entrance and exit of the end cavity of the starting position, and the stop door 132 of the central revolving door 13 blocks the other end of the corresponding branch cavity, thereby limiting the bees in the corresponding branch cavity; the bees are then given stimuli of different shades of light by the lights on the base structure and then the central revolving door 13 is turned so that the bees can pass through the central cavity to the end cavity, i.e. the end point, of the other end structure 2. After the bees enter the end cavities of the end points, the inserting plates 23 of the end structures 2 of the end points are inserted into the lower shells to close the entrances and exits of the end structures 2 to prevent the bees from leaving, then the cane sugar solution is given to the bees as reward or the quinine solution as punishment in the end cavities of the end points according to experimental needs, whether the cane sugar solution or the quinine solution is reduced is observed, and whether the bees receive the reward or punishment can be known.
