CZ26997U1 - Beehive all-extension ceiling sheet feeder - Google Patents

Description

Technical field

The technical solution relates to the specific design and placement of the container in the space of any extension in the hive, in which the required dose of liquid feed can be placed with a view to simplifying the feeder production and thereby reducing its cost. of bees, easy application of the container to the hive and, above all, disposable winter feeding.

The state of the art

Beekeeping plants for feeding winter stocks use either different types of universal containers (buckets, flowerpots, boxes) leak feeders (different types of jars) or feeders with indirect access of bees to the level of feed solution. But they all have one thing in common. They cannot be used for one-time feeding because they do not have the necessary volume, they are difficult to use in mass for their large stock volumes and high cost. Due to technological reasons of their production, the universal containers used have vertical walls made with bevels, which create different diameters at the bottom and top of the container, which cannot be provided with a float, which secures the bees from drowning. Containers have a smooth surface and do not allow bees to move smoothly, so they are usually used as straw filling in containers. Leakage feeders (mostly 41 glasses) should be cleaned and stored at risk of breakage. The bee colonies should be fed in several doses, not at once, as required by the most modern beekeeping knowledge.

The essence of the technical solution

Said drawbacks are substantially eliminated by the use of a container of foil of suitable strength and non-slip surface treatment, allowing the bees to move easily on its exterior but mainly on the inner walls. The vertical walls of the vessel are perpendicular, the bottom and top plan views of the vessel are identical, which allows the float (bubble film) to be used smoothly throughout the height of the vessel. The foil bulk containers are equipped with several hinges, usually 8, which are formed by shaped cuts in the upper part of the container. A wooden frame of appropriate size shall be inserted into these and suspended in an empty extension of the hive assembly used, above the fed colony. To prevent crushing of individual bees while filling the container, a washer is placed on the frames of the last extension so that the feeder is not only hanging, but also standing. The protection of bees from drowning is accomplished by using a float on the blanks of bubble wrap placed on the surface of the liquid solution. This ensures perfect and hygienic float function. The volume of the vessel ensures winter feeding of the hive at the same time.

Overview of the figure in the drawing

The hive ceiling feeder container made of foil according to this invention is described in more detail with reference to the drawing of Fig. 1

Examples of technical solution

Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the feeder, which forms a wooden frame of the appropriate dimension I, on which six or more hinges 2 (the number of hinges depends on the size of the frame) are fixed foil of the large-volume container 4. The depth of the large-volume container 4 is 16 cm or 24 cm depending on the type of beehive. The shaped sections of the hinges 2 form feed holes 3.

Claims (4)

PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS A hive full-height ceiling feeder made of foil, characterized in that the large-volume slash container (4) is made of a non-slip non-slip polyolefin material. 5 The hive full-height ceiling feeder according to claim 1, characterized in that the large-volume container (4) is fixed to the frame (1) by means of 6 or more hinges (2), the shape of which forms feed holes (3). The hive full-height ceiling feeder according to claim 1 to 2, characterized in that the vertical walls of the large-volume container (4) are perpendicular and the plan views of the bottom and top of the container 10 are identical. The hive full-height ceiling feeder according to claim 1 to 3, characterized in that the volume of the large-volume container (4) is sufficient for a one-time winter feeding of the hive.
