Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electronic mark device for bee mothers with external accessories for easy location of the mothers in the hive.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Until now, it has been used to indicate bee mothers of colored dots that are applied to the back chest of bee mothers by setting a specific color for each beekeeping year in European countries, which differs from the colors for previous or following beekeeping years . In recent years, it has been increasingly used to mark bee mothers with colored non-electronic markings that stick to the back chest of the bee mother. The colors of these marks are also set at national level for the apiculture year concerned. These marks may additionally contain symbols of the mother number, trunk and the like. However, this marking of bee mothers is not very pronounced and in the full summer, when there are around 60,000 laborers and hundreds of drones in the hive, locating the mother is very difficult and in many cases the bee mother cannot be found within a reasonable time. Another disadvantage is the risk of maternal bee injury or excessive colony irritation during the attempt to find a maternal by existing methods. A major shortcoming is the excessive time of the colony inspection, the emergence of bee robbery in the hives examined and the consequent increased sting of the bees.

These deficiencies are marginally addressed by U.S. Pat. No. 2007207701/2007 by Berry Jennifer. It has a total of 18 patent claims. - The first to sixth claims concern whether the bee / queen is in or out of the hive by using the R.FID tag placed on the bee queen using a bee detector located on the outside of the hive near the hive - 1 to 3. There is no collision with the electronic mark of bee mothers ... according to the present invention because the present invention locates the bee queen at a particular location of a particular honeycomb, not just whether it is in the hive. or whether she left the hive.

In claims 6 to 10 and 17, the presence of a queen bee in the hive is identified by a ferromagnetic object detector, wherein a strip of ferromagnetic material is adhered to the bee queen. There is no collision with the electronic mark of bee mothers ... according to the present invention because it does not use the identification of ferromagnetic objects. Moreover, in European circumstances, where frames with partition walls are wired, this principle would be non-functional in the whole body of the brood.

Claims 11 to 15 and 18 identify the presence of the queen bee by means of an infrared camera or by vibrating the queen bee by a vibration identification device. There is no collision with the electronic mark of bee mothers ... according to the present invention because the solution according to the present invention does not use the present principles.

In claim 16, a hand-held wand rod detector, which also includes a signal output, is used to indicate the presence of a queen bee in the hive. There is no collision with the electronic mark of bee mothers ... according to the present invention because the rod can effectively locate the bee mother only if it is located at the bottom of the brood. It is not possible to locate a bee mother when it is on the honeycomb, which is the most common place of its occurrence without removing all the honeycombs from the brood. This would not be a time saving during inspection and would not eliminate the robbery of the hive being inspected, eliminated by the solution according to the Electronic Mark of Bee Mothers ... according to the present invention.

These disadvantages are solved with less efficiency by the invention of KR 101677420/2016, by Yoon Sam Ro, who has a single patent claim. The present invention relates to the location of a queen bee on a honeycomb of a hive combed aisle using an RFID tag affixed to a queen bee and with the aid of a two-layer parallel plate member wherein both plate members are insulated by a foil that generates a magnetic shield for long waves. On the two-layer plate member there are zig-zag antennas for long-wave radio reception. An evaluation device is connected to the two-layer plate member to identify the presence of the queen bee in the space. Disadvantages of this solution compared to the Electronic Bee Mother ... solution according to the present invention are:

- the use of long waves significantly attenuates them until they are attenuated by the electromagnetic shielding of the Faraday cage, which consists of the combing of combs used in Europe;

- if the bee queen is outside the window of the combing of the combs, it is unclear whether the bee queen is located on the comb of the alley being inspected or combed in parallel in the half-space of the hive brood defined by the shielding foil. This is because long range radio waves can be presented up to 10 cm. This completely degrades the rapid localization of the queen bee in the hive brood;

- the feasibility of transmitting the signal from the queen bee mark to the parallel plate antennas in the long wave region is not disclosed or rationally demonstrated, in particular because no electronic identifier, i.e. the chip and the antenna, with the long wave transmission characteristics presented is yet known in the 125 to 134 kHz band, and at the same time with dimensions allowing its real application on the small body of the queen bee;

- the feasibility of sufficient excitation of the LED placed on the queen bee mark to illuminate the luminescent segment of the queen bee mark is also not shown / documented. Nor is there any feasible circuit diagram or figure. Although this solution is not mentioned in the claim, it is mentioned on pages 3 and 4 of the Patent Description. For the reasons given above, there are serious technical doubts about the feasibility of this solution; rather, this text appears only as a certain vision or wish, without stating the substance of the solution. It is possible that there was a compilation with the known solution according to CZ 27 125 U from July 9, 2014, in which a similar solution was published, but it was not functional for the magnetic shielding induced by wirework of bees combs, see below.

CZ utility model No. 27125 of 9 July 2014, author Serbian Stanislav, whose solution was based on the fact that the bee mother has a label on her back chest with a simple passive electronic chip, whose chip receiver receives initializing radio waves from an external localization transmitter located in an external module that can be up to 35 cm away from the bee mother. After receiving the initialization radio waves in the chip receiver, the obtained energy is to be used to pay for the energy to send a response containing the mother's birth number data to an external location receiver which is part of the external module. According to the intensity of the highest energy level of the received signal from the mother chip in the external localization receiver, the occurrence of the sought bee mother was assumed. The disadvantage of this solution is that the energy balance of the described radio transmission of energy and information is very low due to the considerable distance between the bee mark and the external module, as well as the fact that reinforcing the honeycomb with metal wires creates an effective Faraday cage - or electromagnetic shielding. Therefore, it has not been possible to put this solution into normal beekeeping practice.

On January 15, 2014, Carol Saab published in Tiny technology creates a buzz experiment in which he marked a statistically representative sample of worker bees of the selected hive with electronic chips. These were monitored by a reader mounted in a selected hive. Another reader had garlic hives, which were spaced at different distances in the field. In these hives, there were feeders with a sweet solution. The aim of the experiment was to monitor the speed of communication of worker bees when communicating information about the optimal food source. Although the source of Carola Saaba deals with the realizability of the electronic RFID tag for worker bees, the aim of this experiment was to monitor the behavior of worker bees. It is not a localization of the bee mother in the hive. Therefore, the publication by Carola Saaba does not solve the problem of locating the mother's bee on the hive hips, unlike the present solution.

These shortcomings are eliminated by the electronic mark of bee-mothers with external accessories for easy location of mothers in the hive also by

- the thin ruler comprises at least one microphone connected via the power and evaluation unit to the acoustic unit.

These shortcomings are eliminated by the electronic mark of bee-mothers with external accessories for easy location of mothers in the hive also by

- the thin ruler has a width comparable to the width of the comb, the antennas of the antenna line of the thin ruler being evenly distributed over the entire surface of the thin ruler.

The advantage of the present technical solution is that thanks to the UHF band used in the range of 860 to 960 MHz radio communication between the bee mother's electronic mark and between antenna antennas, which are placed on a thin ruler, the range of the communication link is appropriate. As a result, a bee mother is not falsely identified when found on parallel hive brood combs that are located outside the honeycomb alley being inspected in the hive brood. A further advantage of the UHF radio band used is that so far known chips can produce so small chips - or whole marks - that they can be placed on the back breast of the bee mother without preventing the bee from laying eggs in the bee cells. This may occur when the bee markers have larger dimensions and robustness, for example due to inappropriate selection of the frequency band for radio transmission between the bee mother's electronic mark and, in general, the antennas of the location devices. A further advantage of the present invention is the easy technological procedure in which the beekeeper gradually moves through a thin ruler between the honeycomb aisles. Due to the close electromagnetic coupling between the integrated bee mother antenna and the antenna array, a satisfactory energy balance is achieved by transmitting energy from the antenna array transmitting antennas to the integrated bee mother antenna and returning data from the integrated bee mother antenna via the antenna row to the power supply and evaluation unit of the external accessory, whereby both the data of the mother's bee identification number and the data of the applied cryptographic methods of securing the electronic mark data may be transferred. Due to the small distance of the thin ruler from the mother's bee, the effect of Faraday's cage - or electromagnetic shielding, which has been created by the wiring of honeycombs in the hitherto known solution, is reduced. At the same time, the accuracy of positioning of the marked bee mother increases with the possibility to determine its spatial position in the hive. To ensure that the movement of the thin ruler between the honeycomb aisles does not hurt the individual worker, especially the bee mother, that occurs on the honeycomb of the hive, it is recommended that the beekeeper first remove one breeding honeycomb and place it in the valerian. The honeycomb is then subjected to inspection by gradually moving the beekeeper from both sides of the thin ruler along the entire honeycomb from as close as possible to the bees sitting on the honeycomb but not touching them. If the mother is not identified on this comb, the beekeeper will cover the comb in the valerian with a guard against the robbery and then the spreader will open the aisles of the remaining combs so that with a thin ruler it can be moved freely between the combs the mother is localized, which will be evaluated by the power and evaluation unit. The output of this unit is an acoustic signal generated by the acoustic unit, an indication on the display unit or a data from the beekeeper's database. A related advantage of this solution is that an appropriate antenna array can also be identified in the power and evaluation unit, with which the most effective contact with the mother's bee electronic tag has been established. Thus, the position of the mother bee on the honeycomb is very precisely localized. To further increase the accuracy of the localized position, it is possible to measure and analyze the intensity of the useful received signal from the electronic tag and thus calculate a more accurate position.

Advantageously, a thin microphone is fitted on the thin ruler to indicate beekeeping sounds that may be indicative of a mother's loss of bee, an approaching swarm, new mothers in or after hatching from the nurses, and the like. Compared to the method known so far,

When a microphone is installed in the hive to monitor the sound in the hive, the solution according to the invention has the advantage that the microphone is not sealed with propolis.

Another advantage of the technical solution is that it is possible to redundantly accelerate the location of the mother bee in the hive by illuminating the thin-film diodes of the thin-film ruler on the electronic bee motherboard so that this phosphorescent segment with longer persistence signals hive place where the mother is located on the honeycomb of the aisle. The phosphorescent segment will also serve to locate the mother's bee when the mother's hive is pulled out of the hive to sunshine and then retracted into a darker beehive, where the radiation in the visible part of the spectrum of the mother's bee electronic mark is reflected.

A further advantage of the technical solution is that the electronic mark of the bee mother can be registered by a display unit, such as a display of the power and evaluation unit, by one of the cameras of the camera series due to the spot being illuminated by the LEDs. A related advantage is that bee cells or larvae in honeycomb cells can be optically indicated from camera series camera data, so that the beekeeper has important additional information that the bee mother lays in the examined colony without having to remove the honeycomb from the honeycomb excessively. hive, which significantly eliminates bee robbery. The method of inspecting honeycombs can also be used when inspecting the compartments while waiting for a free mating of a new, not yet fertilized bee mother from the nurses. When eggs are found in a compartment, it is necessary to find the newly fertilized mother and to mark it with an electronic mark according to the invention. In this procedure, it is necessary to inspect each aisle between bees combs twice, turning the thin ruler 180 ° so that the cameras and light emitting diodes point to the part of the comb being examined. In that alley, one part of the first comb and one part of the second comb of the hive are always inspected, and so on until the mother's bee is found. The requirement for unilateral mounting of the ruler, and the related requirement for 180 ° rotation, is due to the need to minimize the thickness of the ruler for easy manipulation in the aisles between the combs.

Another advantage of the technical solution is the fact that up-to-date information on the occurrence of the mother bee with an electronic mark in the hive is recorded in the beekeeper's database, which has on-line or offline connection with the database of the higher organizational beekeeping unit. This unit may be a fertilization and insemination station, a registration body of the Beekeepers Association and the like. In this way, the higher organizational unit obtains up-to-date up-to-date information about the age and quality of mothers and their origin of registered apiaries of this system. This service guarantees that beekeepers actually buy an inseminated bee mother certified and not mated. Therefore, this service will bring a high objectivity and correctness into the records of bee mothers. This can eliminate unfair or even black trade in bee mothers and fraud with insemination. In cases of disputes over ownership of a swarm, or doubt about the hive from which the swarm has flown, the owner of the swarm can also be identified after the swarm has settled, or the hive from which the swarm has flown can be identified. This is because the identification number of the registered bee mother's electronic mark will be identified by the above procedure and the result will be confronted with the beekeeper's database.

An alternative is to make a thin ruler in the full width of the comb. This procedure speeds up the monitoring of the mother's bee electronic tag and is more gentle on the honeycomb by reducing the path of the thin ruler in the aisles between the honeycombs. However, it is clear that this variant is characterized by higher acquisition costs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Fig. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of an EC electronic topology placed on the rear chest of a bee mother MB, wherein the EC electronic mark comprises an integrated IRA antenna, a first ECH1 electronic chip, a second ECH2 electronic chip, both being combined into an integrated electronic chip IECH. In addition to the conventional color of the beekeeping year, the EC electronic mark also contains the SPS segment of the phosphorescent substance. The EC mark of the exemplary embodiment also comprises a first ECH1 chip with a first diode multiplier DMI, a first capacitor CAP1, a first transistor Q1 and a second transistor Q2, a logic circuit LOG with an M memory, and an oscillator O. The RF signal received by the integrated IRA is rectified and voltage multiplied in the first diode multiplier DMI to obtain the required supply voltage level. In the first phase P1, the first capacitor CA1 is charged, with the first transistor Q1 closed and the second transistor 02 open. The rectified electric current thus flows to the first capacitor CAPI, which is gradually charged up to the nominal voltage. When this voltage is reached, the LOG logic circuit is automatically triggered, which in the second phase P2 wakes the second transistor Q2, serving as a load modulation modulator. In order to prevent accidental discharge of the first capacitor CAPI when the second transistor Q2 is closed, both transistors operate in counter-phase, always before the first transistor Q2 is switched on, the first transistor Q1 is first opened and vice versa. The alternation of the two states of the transistors Q1, Q2 controls the logic circuit LOG depending on the reading of the memory M and the coding used. The modulation symbol clock is controlled by the oscillator O.

In contrast, the second ECH2 electronic chip comprises a second diode multiplier DM2, the input of which is connected to the first terminal Ol IRA and to the second terminal O2IRA of the integrated IRA antenna, while a second CAP2 capacitor is connected to the output of the second diode DM2. SE element and LEDM nut LED. The switching element SE can be, for example, a transistor supplemented with the necessary passive components. The electronic switching element SE controls the LED of the bee mother MBM in case the second capacitor CAP2 is charged from the second diode multiplier DM2 by the rectified high-frequency current obtained by the integrated IRA antenna from the first radio waves RW1 to a sufficient voltage level. The integrated IRA antenna has a first Q1 IRA terminal and a second O2IRA terminal. Both the first ECH1 electronic chip and the second ECH2 electronic chip are connected to these terminals. The integrated antenna IRA in the first phase P1 receives the first radio waves RW1 of the radio transmitter T through the antennas AA, A2 to An of the antenna series AA, while in the second phase P2 transmits the second radio waves RW2 through the AA series to the radio receiver R of the . The acoustic unit AU, the display unit ID, the beekeeper's database BD and the separate recording holder SRH with the recording antenna RA are connected to the holder HRE of the thin ruler TR. This antenna is connected by a two-way PCL communication link with the CP programming device. This exemplary embodiment of the invention comprises a thin ruler TR with an antenna array AA of a thin ruler TR, as well as a holder HRE of a thin ruler TR with an adjoining acoustic unit AU, display unit ID, beekeeper database BD and separate recording holder SRH.

Furthermore, the binding of the HRE thin ruler holder TR with electronics to the beekeeping database BD, the display unit ID and the acoustic unit AU.

RA, which is located in a separate antenna holder SRH. The HRE thin ruler holder TR with electronics further includes a radio receiver T, a radio transmitter R and a power supply and evaluation unit SELI. The honeycomb HC with the bee mother MB, which is marked with the electronic mark ES and is shown in this embodiment in proportion to the dimensions of the thin ruler TR. These proportions result from the height H, the length LHC of the honeycomb HC compared to the height L, width WH and thickness TH of the thin ruler TR. On the thin ruler TR is mounted the first antenna A1, the second antenna A2, the nth antenna An antenna series AA. Also, on the thin ruler TR, there is a first LED, a second LED2, up to the nth LEDn of the LA series. These LEDs are proportionally located not only to the respective antennas A1, A2, to An of the AA antenna series, but also to the miniature first camera C1, the second miniature camera C2, to the nth camera Cn of the camera series CA. In the exemplary embodiment, at least one MC microphone is placed on the thin ruler TR. By way of illustration, the bee mother MB is represented symbolically in the exemplary embodiment, with the electronic mark ES located on the honeycomb HC.

Fig. 3 shows a view of the hive brood BH with honeycomb HC, with the length of the honeycomb LHC, with the honeycomb HC having between them the aisles AC with the aisle width WS,

Fig. 4 shows an example of economical mounting of antennas A1, A2, to An antenna series AA on thin ruler TR, where antennas A1, A2, to An antenna series AA are mounted on thin ruler TR so that their centers are larger apart distance than the basic arrangement. Proportionally to the antennas A1, A2, to An of the antenna series AA, there is a first light-emitting diode LEP1, a second light-emitting diode LEP2, up to the n-th light-emitting diode LEDn of the LA-line. Also, the first miniature camera C1, the second miniature camera C2, the n-th miniature camera Cn of the CA series camera are proportionally mounted to the above elements. In the exemplary embodiment, a microphone MC is positioned approximately in the center of the thin ruler TR.

Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 show the solution of the electronic mark of bee mothers with external EA accessories for easy localization of bee mothers in the hive. First, the beekeeper activates the power and evaluation unit of the SEU ruler holder with the HRE electronics. The disinfectant sterilizes the thin TR ruler. Subsequently, the beekeeper removes one honeycomb with bees from the BH hive's brood and hangs it in an auxiliary valerian, a hollow block of opaque cladding accessible from above, mounted on reasonably high legs. The length of the auxiliary bearing is identical to the length of the honeycomb LHC, the height of the auxiliary bearing block is one fifth greater than the height H of the honeycomb HC and the length of the auxiliary bearing block corresponds to the length LBH of the BH hive. Subsequently, the beekeeper on both sides of the HC combs the thin ruler TR along the entire honeycomb HC as close as possible to the bees sitting on the HC comb so as not to touch them. If the bee mother MB is not identified on this comb, in the next step the beekeeper covers the comb in the valerian against the bee heist and then opens the aisles AC of the remaining combs HC of the Hive BH so that the thin ruler TR can move freely in the extended aisles WS between HC combs until the bee mother MB is located. This will be evaluated by the power supply and evaluation unit SEU. The output of this unit when locating the bee mother MB is an acoustic signal from the acoustic unit AU, as well as an indication on the display unit ID, which can be a display or special glasses of augmented reality technology. The output may also be data from the beekeeper's database BD in case that the identification number IN of the bee mother MB is transmitted by the second radio waves RW2 when identifying the bee mother MB.

It is also possible to locate the bee mother MB on the bees hive HC combs HB by moving the thin ruler TR in the beehive AC aisles BH to monitor the area of the combs HC by the beekeeper's gaze at the ID display monitor. Thanks to sufficient illumination of the monitored area of the HC coatings by the LEDs LEPÍ, LED2, up to LEDn of the LA series, the monitored object is very well distinguishable. It is even possible to monitor bee eggs or larvae, which is an indication that the bee mother MB is present in the hive and lays eggs. Alternatively, the CA camera series can be viewed using augmented reality technology in beekeeper glasses.

-8EN 307138 B6

Another way to locate the bee mother MB in the BH hive is to illuminate the phosphorescent segment of the EC brand SPS by shining the LEDs LEP1, LEP2 to LEPn of the LA lamp family. longer afterglow. This longer afterglow applies when the thin TR ruler is pulled out of the BH hive.

You can also monitor the presence of the MB bee in the BH Bee by evaluating the BH Bee sounds picked up by the MC microphone mounted on the thin TR ruler. These sounds are reproduced by the AU. The absence of the bee mother MB in the BH hive is characterized by the turbulent hum of the colony. Further information can also be obtained from the beekeeper's practical experience in distinguishing the specific sounds that characterize the growing mood swarm. It is also possible to monitor the characteristic sounds of young, unfertilized MB bee mothers found either in maternity leave or those who have recently left the nursery.

Industrial applicability

The equipment according to the technical solution can be used in all beekeeping operations. Above all, the solution will be appreciated by beekeepers because it will streamline and speed up the inspection of bee colonies in finding bee mothers in the hive. In addition, by speeding up hives inspections and not picking up all the hives' hives, the robbery of bees on the apiary during inspections will decrease. It also does not disturb the bee colonies, which has a positive effect on their low stinging. Significant application of the invention will be in the registration of inseminated mothers created by the system of the database of mothers and related services. In addition, the solution will reduce until it completely eliminates abusive practices in the trade with inseminated mothers or helps to identify other mistakes in this area.
