DE202011103876U1 - Foldable and divisible large bee home on a stand with holding device for one and more people - Google Patents

Abstract

Horizontally and / or vertically divisible large-scale apiary on a stand with a holding device and a honeycomb that can be folded up to the front, an equally-sized brood chamber underneath with an open drum chamber that is firmly connected underneath and can be locked in height using various slides with a rear opening flap and at least two entrance holes for bees.

Description

Today's common bee hives are magazine hives and have 9-12 honeycomb per magazine. As a rule, they have two brood rooms with at least one to three essays or magazines as honey rooms in the period of the Tracht. This automatically leads to the fact that the bees are up to 1.50 m high. Removing the full 20 to 30 kg magazines from the top or bottom of the floor causes contortions and requires considerable physical effort on each beech control. Since in the swarm time Weiselkontrollen and the cutting out of drone brood are to be carried out nearly weekly, this work is connected with very high physical use, since the brood combats are in the lowest range of the prey. This is even more true for disabled people, women and senior citizens.

Approximately 30-50% of all beekeepers complain about back pain after surveys. Many beekeepers also complain about the entry of mice, ants and other critters into their bees.

The bee hives registered as a patent or utility model, which deal with solutions of the above problems, are often technically impractical, very expensive and cumbersome and therefore little or not common. This can be seen for example by extracting device for magazine loot ( DE 3205 448 A1 . DE 3210 386 A1 ); different lifting devices ( DE 8408 360.3 . DE 8803 665.0 ), Folding mechanisms ( DE 813 085 ), Honeycombs fall out of the box when folding) or DE 8408 360U1 , elaborate ant barrier ( DE 2951 9820 U1 ) and much more.

These problems are solved with the present invention. The large-area hive makes it possible to do the work required during the year quickly and reliably with the least possible effort and with the least possible disruption to the bee colony. The challenge is to develop the size of the prey in such a way that the different numbers of bees (winter 5,000, summer 50,000 individuals) can be accommodated in a bee-like manner during the year and that the magazine does not need to be lifted or removed. The new large-capacity loot retains its once-fixed size throughout the year. This is made possible by continuously extending the space by shifting and removing separations.

The existing utility model concerns a very variable large-capacity beehive. This one-person operation has a 15-20 cm high drum room, an overlying firmly connected breeding room of 19 honeycombs and a honey room of the same number of honeycombs. The arrangement of the honeycomb, whether as a Zander, Langstroth or other honeycomb formats takes place in cold construction or with position of the honeycomb to the flight hole.

For the sake of simplicity, only one honeycomb size is used for the entire prey. To ensure that the beehives are firmly seated in the prey, recesses are provided at the top for the frame tubes and spacers at the bottom.

The honey magazine can be folded up in the direction of the flight holes. Folding in only takes place until the center of gravity of the honey attachment is exceeded and the honeycombs can be removed from the lower frame. This prevents the falling out of the honeycomb on the one hand and on the other hand allows the removal of hatching honeycomb. The unfolded honey attachment is held by a long adjustable chain, cord, band or similar. This technique has the advantage that in a brood control, the honey room is folded upwards and thus there is an easy insight into the breeding area, without having to remove attachments. This entire breeding area is on one level. All hatching honeycombs are parallel next to each other.

The folding mechanism also raises the honey attachment so far that between horizontal breeding room and Honigraumzarge a horizontal separation difference z. B. a bee escape or a safety gate can be inserted. The hinge in the folding mechanism is designed in such a way that the complete honey attachment (honey room frame) rises by approx. 2 cm. Also, by unlocking the hinge, the entire honey room can be removed. Access to the bees in the prey can be done from five sides, as in 5 shown.

The hive stands on a post, which is anchored in the soil, depending on soil type, about 40-50 cm deep by means of a drilling foundation or the like. The drill foundation protrudes about 60-80 cm out of the ground, on it sits the complete hive. The length of the standpipe can be varied depending on the height of the beekeeper in height and allows a back-friendly and easy work in an upright posture. With only one stand mowing and keeping clean under the prey is greatly facilitated. Due to a firm anchoring in the ground, the risk of tipping over the firmly screwed hive - even in Sturmunterbunden. The ground socket with tube can be turned out at any time and the prey can be moved. Likewise, in vertical terrain when using a spirit level vertical installation is possible. Ground inequalities do not disturb and height differences do not have to be compensated. Also, the prey is rotatable about the axis of the standpipe by this device.

In or on the standpipe a measuring device for weight determinations of the apiary is integrated, which registers, for example, the daily or weekly weight change in honey or the decrease / increase in feed. This scale can be operated on mechanical, electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic or other function. With the balance, the box weight can be adjusted to zero. As a result, only the increases and decreases are registered in a certain period.

Another advantage of the one-foot system is the ant and mouse security. Through an open-topped and open-bottom tubular pointed ring around the standpipe, ants and mice can be safely kept away from the box, especially as the vertical downward circulation lock makes it impossible to hold even for small ants when crossing the top.

Another advantage of the stand is the bee hive open at the bottom. The complete "waste" of the bees falls directly out of the prey. The bees can also fly directly into the prey with strong costume from below. If necessary, the lower opening of the prey can be completely or partially height-adjustable closed by means of a slider and / or a grid.

The hive has two separate flight holes on the front. By two vertically spaced separation differences, the hive can be divided into two equal sized independent hives, each with 18 frames (9 in the honey room and 9 in the breeding area). Thus, two peoples can be led and cared for in a large-scale loot. If in addition a horizontal separation difference is inserted, with two air holes in the honey room, even four peoples with 9 honeycombs each can be accommodated in the beehive.

The entrance of the hive is not located as usual in bee hives on the bottom of the hive but at the height of the breeding area. As a result, the bees do not come into contact with their waste when the bottom slide is closed. This has especially hygienic advantages. The bees fly on the approach board and run up through the pothole via the vestibule to the prey entrance (access in fall and winter).

With stronger traditional clothing in spring and summer, the prey entrance is opened and at the same time protects the entrance area of the hive from bird droppings, rain and moisture. The flap on which the variable spool valve is located can simultaneously pick up a pollen trap if required or a larger approach board. When the costume is stronger, the floor grates and sliders are pulled out, giving the bees another access to their people.

By inserting the horizontal separation difference above the breeding area two and more bees can be accommodated in the large-size prey at the bottom and at the top in the honey-room, depending on the number of air holes and vertical separation differences.

• – als Futterraum zur Aufnahme von Futtergeschirr: Schieber unter und über Futterraum Einschieben,
• – als Trommelraum bei Wanderungen: nur Bodengitter für ausreichende Lüftung in unterster Stellung einschieben,
• – zur Ameisensäurebehandlung: auf geschlossenen Schieber Windel legen und Bodengitter darüber schieben, damit Bienen nicht mit Säure direkt in Kontakt kommen können,
• – für Wildbau, wenn Brutraum zu klein wird: Bausperre herausziehen,
• – komplett offen: Abfall der Bienen fällt aus der Beute heraus und Bienen können von unten in die Beute einfliegen.

The high closed drum space with bottom slide or floor grille can be used differently for several functions and depending on the mode of operation. For example:

• - as a feed room for holding food dishes: slide under and over the feed area,
• - as a drum room during hikes: only insert floor grids in the lowest position for adequate ventilation,
• - for formic acid treatment: lay a diaper on a closed slide and slide the grid over it, so that bees can not come into direct contact with acid,
• - for game, if breeding area is too small: pull out the barrier,
• - completely open: waste of bees falls out of the prey and bees can fly into the prey from below.

Definitions and definitions:

• 1. Large bee apiary, bee house, hive, or prey: complete beehive with hive base (two drum rooms), hatchery and honey room, lid, two air holes and accessories.
• 2. Drum room is located under the breeding area and is firmly connected to this. It is open and depending on the height of the food trays and functions 10-15 cm high and closed from below. It forms a unity with the brood room. The bottom grid and / or shut-off plate, which can be inserted from the rear, are height-adjustable.
• 3. Prey lid: closes and encloses the hive, so that no rainwater can penetrate laterally. He is secured by a fixation by means of two hinges before storm. In the prey lid, an 80 mm high air space can be used to accommodate food containers, Nassenheider evaporator or it is filled with insulation material.
• 4. Separation: Horizontal (4) and / or vertical (3) separation differences can be used individually or simultaneously. The difference in separation separates or narrows two or more bee colonies.

In the following examples for the execution and use of the large-area hive are shown and explained in more detail by means of drawings. Show it:

1 Exterior Front of a large hive from the front with two entry areas, hinges for the folding mechanism and stand in the ground

2 a schematic side view (section) with open hole cover and open honey room with roof, breeding room and drum room

3 a schematic side view (section) with Trennschied vertically (above) and horizontally above the breeding area. Feeding dishes for feeding the bees in the drum room; closed top and bottom by bottom plate. Bees enter the drum room via the vestibule.

4 the schematic representation from the back (section) shows how the large-capacity beehive can be divided into two equal complete smaller prey. This is achieved by two superimposed vertical separation differences.

5 At the same time five entrances for the beekeeper to the bee house with large approach board

1 shows a large-capacity bee house with roof according to the invention 1 , Honey room 2 , Breeding room 6 , two approach boards 22 with cover 12 , Circular lock 16 and standpipe with ground anchor 15 , This holds the prey vertically to protect them from tipping over. The anchoring of the soil prevents tipping over the hive when unfolding or storming.

The ground anchor with standpipe is made of metal / aluminum / plastic, is height adjustable depending on the size of the beekeeper to allow a proper posture when processing the bee colony.

In the vertical tube is a circulation lock 16 and a measuring device attached.

The two approach boards 22 with entry and exit openings in the right and left half of the prey are separately reget- and variable.

The folding mechanism is with two circular hinges 14 trained, who reach into a long hole. By inserting a horizontal separation difference, the honey room automatically raises by the amount of the separation difference.

2 shows a large-capacity bee house according to the invention with Einvolkbetrieb in the unfolded state for viewing the breeding area 6 , Individual brood cells can be removed from above. Folded up and locked 24 honey room 2 with lid remains closed. The 15-20 cm high drum room can be used for feeding or for treatment, eg. B. with formic acid and as an extension of the breeding area (game) can be used.

The unfolded cover 12 the hole provides protection against strong wind, rain and bird contamination. In the unfolded flight openings and a collection facility for pollen can be installed or used (pollen trap).

3 shows an example of a large-capacity beehive apartment according to the invention with a horizontal separation 4 and vertical separation difference 3 , In the honey room 2 can be an offshoot with its own flight hole 25 be housed. The main people in the breeding area 6 is through a food container 18 fed in the drum room. To get to the feed, the bees run through the prey entrance 13 in the vestibule 23 to the passage 20 in the feed room 18 , This is due to hygienic reasons, top and bottom by a bottom plate 10 closed. The pilot hole pusher 11 can be gradually reduced, so that no robbery arises in the bee house.

Another feeding and treatment option is also in the high prey roof 1 over the foil / gauze 29 , This also serves to accommodate the insulation.

4 , shows a two-part large-capacity bee apartment according to the invention (section) from behind. In the middle of two vertically spaced separation differences are inserted. This results in two separate bee houses with the honey room breeding room and drum room. The drum rooms are different useable and height adjustable 18 . 10 . 9 , The honeycomb spacing is fixed by spacers 27 , A hinge is used to secure the prey lid 26 with lock. By attaching an overflowed bar to the bedded and at the bottom of the honey room 21 prevents moisture from entering the prey.

Through the rear opening flap of the drum room are building blocks 8th , Floor grid, 9 , Floor tiles 10 or feed containers 18 height adjustable inserted and removed as required. The floor grid 9 is a wireframe (for example made of stainless steel / aluminum / plastic) with 4 mm openings, so that the waste products, which the bees drop, reach directly downwards and do not pollute the hive (fewer pathogens in the prey). The bottom plate 10 is an easy-to-clean plastic plate, preferably on one side white with grid lines to perform varoakontrollen there (counting fallen mites per day). This plate can also be inserted directly under the floor grid and then serves as a catch tray for the waste (Varroa mites) or to insert a sponge cloth. Are all all bottom slide 8th . 9 . 10 removed, the bees fly directly from below into their people. The waste passes through the open floor immediately to the outside.

By removing the vertical separation differences creates a large area.

19 parallel honeycombs in the lower area (breeding area) and 19 in the honey area honey room), a total of 38 honeycombs are thus present in a nation. The number of honeycombs can be varied up and down depending on the boot size.

5 shows a large-capacity bee house according to the invention with at the same time five entrances to the bee house (arrows). As a result, honeycombs can be converted from the breeding area in the honey room and vice versa and carried out various interventions.

In the rear floor area is an opening 7 present, for feeding and treating the bees or as an access with endoscope for Weiselkontrolle. By means of a special camera also insight into the lower honeycomb lanes can be taken (swarm control). 5 also shows by way of example that higher honeycombs can be accommodated in the lower breeding area.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the invention does not refer to that in the 1 to 5 described embodiments, but that a plurality of variants is possible.
