Definitions

  • the device for controlling the queen bees' egg-laying process is a beekeeping device that, even without opening the hive, allows for controlling the location and expansion of the brood within the hive to realise our respective beekeeping objectives by spatially orienting the queen bee's egg-laying process.
  • a fence system will keep the confined queen bee at the desired location.
  • Our invention can be widely used in apiculture.
  • the application of the device makes honey production techniques easy to perform without opening the hive.
  • the device furthermore allows for significantly limiting the queen bee's egg-laying process in a simple way and even swarming can consequently be triggered by it.
  • This invention is equally useful in rearing queen bees; it can help produce larvae of the required quality and age easily.
  • the beekeeper can achieve a situation in which capped brood is entirely in one or another part of the hive.
  • Varroa mite infestation can be stopped with almost one hundred per cent efficiency in the hive section with open brood only.
  • the complete separation of the hive section containing only capped brood and its treatment after the brood emerges will drastically improve the efficiency of varroa control.
  • honey flow related manipulations are one of the most labour intensive operations. They include limiting the expansion of the brood before the main honey flow, and rearranging the brood within the hive.
  • Changing the location of the brood within the hive is important because the bees, in response to their biological wants and needs, will most preferably carry the nectar to areas above the brood, right next to the brood frames and near the emerging brood. Therefore, during the main honey flow, the desired location of the brood in movable frame hives is at the bottom or in horizontal hives, to the side. Beekeepers can achieve the desired arrangement by placing brood frames or queen excluders in hives.
  • our invention can also be used to complete further beekeeping tasks.
  • the beekeeper When rearing queen bees, in order to get breeding stock of the same age required for relocating larvae, the beekeeper will enclose the breeder queen in a Jenter kit. To carry out this task, the beekeeper must find the queen bee and place it manually into the comb box. The breeder queen will shortly lay eggs in this box and the age of the resulting brood will be nearly the same. This is convenient because we will need larvae of the same age to be placed in the queen bee cells and there will be no need to sort them.
  • the queen bee will need to be caught in order to complete this task. It is also nearly impossible to catch a queen bee wearing gloves which can make the job with wild bees rather unpleasant. Elderly beekeepers with sight problems and diminished hand eye coordination might find this procedure difficult to carry out.
  • Treatment for varroa mites has so far been a hard toil. Frames with capped brood used to be removed from the colonies and hatched with other colonies or in incubators, but this procedure called for significant extra work and a sizeable investment.
  • beekeepers used to make their bees swarm and performed the treatment for varroa mites free of brood. Making bees swarm in the middle or at the end of the honey flow is uneconomical and often impossible, and therefore not an option.
  • Queen bees can be marked in many ways.
  • Microchips are widely used in industry and animal husbandry alike to assign individual markings to animals. These are basically passive RFID tags that can be read at a given distance by a reader.
  • Patent description GB 578919 describes the way queen bees are marked with radioactive materials. This invention is intended to detect and capture the marked queen bee about to swarm by a device placed outside the hive. As part of the procedure described in the invention, the queen bee previously marked with a radiation source and detected when it is about to leave the hive by a Geiger-Muller counter can be captured. The method and aim of capturing the queen bee is fundamentally different from that of our procedure. Even though the device described in the above-mentioned patent description operates gates too, these gates are not suitable to capture the queen bee within the hive due to their location, shape and dimension.
  • the gates in the device described in the above-referenced patent description are not placed on the comb, but within the tunnel formed in combination of the hive entrance and are therefore not suitable for capturing the breeder queen and controlling brood expansion.
  • a further major difference between the above-described patent and our invention is that they are based on fundamentally and essentially separate concepts. While the above patent detects the swarming queen bee about to leave the hive voluntarily, prompted by its instinct to swarm out to retain the swarm, our invention guides the breeder queen away from the brood and keeps it in the new brood while preventing its return to the original brood.
  • Patent description no. US 20070207701 Al also describes two methods for detecting previously marked queen bees within the hive. It intends to detect queen bees previously marked with an RFID tag by an RFID sensor, those previously marked with a bit of metal by a metal detector within the hive, by an infrared camera from outside the hive, and by an infrared hand wand when opening the hive and inspecting each frame.
  • the patent description offers methods to mark queen bees in the above-described manner and to detect these markings for the beekeeper to see whether the marked queen bee is in the hive or not. When a hive is opened up, this method is intended to make it somewhat easier for the beekeeper to find the queen bee.
  • the patent description fails to offer a device by which the queen bees' egg-laying process could be controlled within the hive.
  • the above-referenced patent description differs from our invention in several major points. That patent description does not include moving gates or fences by which it would intend to manipulate the queen bee's activities. In the manner described in the above-referenced patent description it is not possible to realise the objectives set for our invention to realise. It is not possible to confine the queen bee to a specific comb or comb area during the beekeeper's activities, and therefore that procedure is not directly suitable for carrying out beekeeping manipulations.
  • the validity of one of the major objectives set for the procedure can furthermore be professionally challenged: to determine whether the queen bee is within the hive or not. Since this question can be answered by an experienced beekeeper in a moment, even without opening the hive. For example, queenless colonies emit an easily distinguishable sound, and queenless colonies stop collecting nectar and the bees are running up and down at the entrance in confusion.
  • the patent description fails to mention the application of a source that would amplify the signal detectable on the queen bee when optical markings are used, or the need for optical shading that would ensure detection even under daytime conditions.
  • the queen bee marking and detection methods presented in the above-referenced patent descriptions fail to offer a solution to directly control the queen bee's activities or the expansion of the brood when applied individually, in combination or by sequencing their specific steps. What is more, the methods offered to detect the queen bee are defective and even questionable for professional considerations.
  • both the device and the guiding gates within the device are to be placed in the brood so that they would limit the brood by the device's walls when closed, and consequently the queen bee would not escape from the device to the former brood even by biting through the comb.
  • the queen bee is marked with light reactive pigment
  • a light source might need to be built into the device to amplify the light reflected off the pigment marking on the queen bee, and even optical shading might be required to ensure detection.
  • the detection zone of the device must be designed in a way that will allow the bees to pass through in one layer only. A replaceable and easy to clean cover will be placed on the optical sensor so that contamination could easily be removed by the beekeeper before each use if necessary.
  • the detection zone should in any case be designed in a way that will only allow one layer of the bees to pass through.
  • the sensor and control unit should be placed in one device, which will also include the gates operated by the control unit.
  • the open gates of the device will facilitate the queen bee's entry to the device.
  • the thresholds of the gates as well as the walls of the device are sunk into the comb right down to the base of the cells so that the queen could not get through them even if the bees bite the comb to the base.
  • Gates have thresholds to prevent passing through when closed.
  • the thresholds of the gates are sunk into the comb; they are thin enough for the queen bee to pass through without hesitation and get into the detection zone of the device.
  • the distance between the gates and the detection zone is large enough for the queen bee not to get injured when the gates close.
  • the ends of the gates fence off the bees when closed and when open they are flush with the walls of the device to prevent propolis getting glued onto them. Were they stuck, they would not move unchecked.
  • the device should be designed to allow a relatively narrow room for the queen bee so that it would want to leave it.
  • the fenced off queen bee can be kept in the desired hive section by a dividing wall fitting the opening, the device and the hive's respective walls precisely and reliably, which will still allow workers to pass through.
  • these devices can be placed in the hive well before their application and if due preparations are made, they can be activated and operated from outside the hive at the required moment. This is highly important in beekeeping since the expansion of the brood in the right hive section and the relocation of the queen bee are very labour intensive activities to be performed within a short time window, and this is what limits the number of colonies a beekeeper can keep.
  • Our invention is indirectly capable of improving the efficiency of varroa control, which bee disease causes the greatest damage in apiaries.
  • varroa control which bee disease causes the greatest damage in apiaries.
  • a further advantage offered by this solution is that we know the age of the brood in the brood area exactly even without opening the hive since we know the starting date of fencing the queen bee.
  • Figure 1 is an end-view drawing depicting the device and fence suspended on the comb with the frames.
  • the desired guiding direction is horizontal and is directed towards the frames placed in the side of the hive. This is a beneficial solution in horizontal hives.
  • Figure 2 is a front-view drawing of the device and fence suspended on the frame.
  • the desired guiding direction is towards the bottom frames. This solution is recommended when movable frame hives are used.
  • the device 7 can be placed in the hive well before activation. We must place the device 7 into the brood box and secure it to the brood frame 4 so that the device 7 would not significantly alter the width of the seams 5 near the frame 4. Thereby we can prevent the device 7 getting braced to the seam 5 between the frames 4, which is important for the device 7 to be removed easily from the hive after use.
  • the location of the device 7 within the hive varies according to the beekeeping objective to realise. We are describing some of the options below.
  • the frame 4 on which the device 7 is mounted can be returned to the hive by connecting the opening 8 to the dividing wall 10 section specifically designed to receive it. Then we thread the wire of the indicator 13 to signal the device's 7 operation and of the switch (18) built into the indicator's house outside and fix it. Then we close the hive.
  • the light source integrated into device 7 will start to operate. Since the device 7 fences off the seam area 16 of a brood frame 4, it is highly probable that the queen bee will get into it. Getting in is easy for the queen bee, thanks to the wide moving gates 3 of the device 7 and that the threshold of the gates 3 sunk into the comb 17 cells. After the marked queen bee enters the device 7, it is going to continue its usual egg-laying process in the fenced off seam 16 section too. While doing so, its thorax and the marking on the thorax will continuously face the sensor 1.
  • the device 7 When it reaches the detection zone 2 of the sensor 1, nothing will hide the queen bee's marking since the bees are only allowed to pass through the detection zone 2 in one layer.
  • the device 7 is equipped with a light source capable of activating the marking pigment.
  • the light source has intermittent operation so that the sensor 1 could detect the light reflected off the pigment.
  • the efficient detection of the reflected light is further enhanced by optically shading the device 7 to a required extent. This will ensure that only little disturbing natural light would enter the detection zone 2 of the device 7. Since the probability is high that the queen bee's marking will get close enough to the sensor 1 and also for the above-mentioned reasons, the light falling on the sensor 1 will specifically make the detection of the queen bee possible.
  • the sensor 1 will send a signal to the control unit upon detecting the queen bee, which will then close the moving gates 3 by starting an engine integrated into the device 7.
  • the control unit will simultaneously change the signal intensity emitted by the indicator 13, which will inform the beekeeper about the start of fencing off. Since the seam area 16 limited by the device 7 is fairly narrow, the queen bee will want to escape from it. Escape towards the original brood area 14 is prevented by the fence 12 connected to the device 7 on the opposite side of the comb 17.
  • the queen bee can only escape from the device 7 though the opening 8 formed in the fence 12 in the horizontal guiding direction 11. After leaving the device 7, the queen bee will lay eggs in the new brood area 15. Caring for the brood and feeding the queen bee in the new brood area 15 beyond the fence will be accomplished by workers passing through the dividing wall 10.
  • the direction of guiding 11 is vertical, which is beneficial in movable frame hives.
  • the device 7 is also suspended on a frame 4, but differently from the earlier arrangement, on one of the central frames 4 of the brood 14 before guiding.
  • a guiding channel 9 will be attached to the opening 8 of the device 7, which will be adequately wide and short for the queen bee to pass through fast.
  • the channel 9 will go through the dividing wall 10 and be fitted to it.
  • the queen bee's movement towards undesired directions will be prevented by closing the gates 3 and by the fence 12 fitted to the device 7 on the opposite side of the comb 17.
  • the brood areas 14 before and after guiding 15 are vertically arranged to each other.
  • the device 7 can easily create a situation in which highly effective varroa mite treatment can be carried out. At the required time, even in the middle or at the end of the main honey flow and with an expanded brood, we can activate the device 7.
  • the varroa mite treatment in the fenced off brood areas 14, 15 can be carried out alternately, when they include open brood only (it is surely so until the ninth day after guiding 15 in the new brood area) and thereby we can improve the efficiency of varroa mite treatment significantly, even with expanded brood.
  • the sensor 1 placed in the device 7 detects the properly marked queen bee, the moving gates 3 will close and the indicator 13 will signal the start of fencing.
  • the beekeeper will then separate the original 14 and the new brood areas 15 on the 8* day of fencing along the dividing wall 10 so that the new brood areas 14, 15 would not be accessible to bees or mites.
  • This procedure can be carried out in a single action in the arrangement illustrated in Figure 2 by separating the two brood drawers and placing an adequately porous wall between them. The size of the pores will stop the mites from penetrating the wall. Then an entrance is to be opened in the upper brood drawer through which the bees trapped in the original brood area 14 will fly down to the lower drawer, the brood area after guiding 15.
  • the treatment for mites can be performed right away by which we can make the bees in the brood area after guiding 15 practically mite free.
  • the reason behind this is that the brood area after guiding 15 does not yet include capped brood or brood to be immediately capped, and therefore the mites cannot hide in the brood from the chemical used for treatment.
  • a further remarkably significant advantage is that there is no open brood to rear queen bees and therefore no swarm cells are expected to be built either in the brood area before guiding 14.
  • the dividing wall placed between them will include adequately regular perforations of less than 1 mm in diameter, which will not allow the mites or bees to pass through but the young bees and brood stuck in the upper drawer will still not get cold since the rising warm air will get through the perforated dividing wall. It is recommended to feed the young and emerging bees in the upper drawer with pollen and sugar syrup.
  • the capped brood in the original brood box area 15 will hatch and we will be able to treat also this hive area effectively for varroa mites. Then the two brood areas 14, 15 can be integrated again. We can ensure almost 100 per cent protection against varroa mites during honey flow with two interventions requiring relatively little effort and two treatments carrying no material production risk.
  • the fence is a dividing wall that prevents the queen bee from getting through and can be fitted to the device on the opposite side of the comb

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif (7) permettant de commander le processus de ponte d'une reine, détectant la reine préalablement marquée par des pigments réactifs à la lumière à l'aide d'un capteur (1) correspondant au procédé de marquage et raccordé à une unité de commande qui, lors de la détection, actionne des portes mobiles (3) raccordées au dispositif (7) par le démarrage d'un moteur. Le dispositif (7) comprenant des parois latérales peut être directement fixé au rayon (17) et la zone de détection (2) du capteur (1) tombe à l'intérieur de la couture (16) flanquée des parois. La reine marquée va atteindre le dispositif (7) en étant non vérifiée et une fois détectée, les portes mobiles (3) se ferment et empêchent la reine de sortir par les portes (3). Étant donné que, une fois les portes (3) fermées, l'espace disponible pour la reine est limité, la reine est rapidement forcée de sortir du dispositif (7) dans la direction prédéterminée du guidage (11) à travers l'ouverture (8). Le dispositif (7) comprend également une clôture (12) et une paroi de séparation (10) qui comprennent partiellement ou entièrement un dispositif d'exclusion de reine et maintiennent la reine confinée pendant la période requise, les ouvrières pouvant passer à travers la clôture (12) et la paroi de séparation (10).
