Description

  The present invention relates to a honey-collecting device suitable for use in harvesting from the natural nest of Japanese bees.

  Honey marketed in Japan includes those collected from western bees and those collected from Japanese bees, and generally speaking, honey refers to those collected from western bees. This is due to the fact that Western bees are more widely used in Japan because Western bees can collect more honey and can be reared more easily than Japanese bees.

  This bee beekeeping is done by attaching several nest frames with the foundation of the western beehive, which is the basis of the beehive, to the nest box (nest frame type nest box), and nesting to remove the nest frame in which the honey is stored. The nectar frame is stored in a predetermined container using a centrifuge.

  On the other hand, Japanese bees can be easily bred even in a nest frame type nest box with a Japanese beehive foundation if they are successfully incorporated into the beehive of the bee group during the spring bee period, but Japan is highly alert. It is extremely rare for bees to fly into the nest frame type nest box at the time of the bees, and even if the bee group is forcibly placed in the nest frame type nest box, the nest frame etc. are often watched and escaped. is there. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique related to a Japanese beehive foundation that matches the body shape of a Japanese bee.

  Here, the split bee is a phenomenon in which when a new queen bee is born in the nest, the former queen bee hands over the nest to the new queen bee and seeks out a new nest. At this time, about half of the worker bees in the nest come out together and wait until they find a new nest site and make a lump of trees. A swarm of bees waiting in this lump is called a bee swarm, and in order to raise them in a nest frame type nest box, this bee swarm is taken into a net or bag and forced into the nest box that you want to raise. Incorporate.

  On the other hand, if a nest box made by pasting a cedar board in a traditional cedar log and a simple nesting box just assembled from a cedar board, Most Japanese bee swarms in the vicinity choose such an old nest box as a candidate for a new nest. In addition, even with traditional beehives, even if a Japanese bee group is secured and forced into the nest box, the probability of escaping is very low compared to a nest frame type nest box. In other words, the old nest box is perfect for securing a group of bees because Japanese bees are not wary because there is nothing in the box.

  Also, traditional nest boxes can be made at a low cost and have the advantage that Japanese bees can naturally enter the box and store honey without any special action. Therefore, despite the small amount of honey harvested, many beekeepers use traditional nest boxes to raise Japanese bees as a hobby.

For this reason, Japanese bee beekeeping is generally not made of a nest frame type beehive, but a traditional cedar log is hollowed out and a cedar board made by pasting a cedar board on the ceiling is assembled. A natural nesting of Japanese bees in a simple nest box, and when the honey accumulates, the natural nests are cut out with a knife, etc., and the nectar is stored in a predetermined container by filtration through natural fall. (For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for a honey filter that performs honey extraction by filtration by natural fall.) In addition, with this method, there is no need to prepare a nest frame type nest box, a Japanese beehive foundation, and several nest frames, and it is not costly. Therefore, it is suitable for the needs of beekeepers who perform beekeeping in the category of hobbies. Yes.

  However, the method for collecting Japanese bees that are collected by filtration by natural fall has a problem that it takes time (for example, 1 to 3 days) to extract the honey. In addition, according to this honey-collecting method, honey is exposed to the atmosphere for a long time, which may be a sanitary problem due to dust and pests.

  Such a problem can be solved by placing a nest frame with a Japanese honeycomb foundation on a centrifuge, but as described above, beekeeping using this Japanese honeycomb foundation is a very cautious Japanese bee. There is a problem that the bee group does not naturally select the nest frame type nest box, and even if the bee group is forcibly put into the nest frame type nest box, the nest frame etc. is warned and escapes. In addition, beekeeping using this Japanese beehive foundation requires a number of nest frame-type nest boxes, Japanese beehive foundations, and nest frames, especially for beekeepers who perform beekeeping in the category of hobbies. Therefore, there is a problem that a burden is imposed from the viewpoint of cost.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a honey-collecting device that can reduce the cost and time required for honey-making in Japanese bee-keeping, can be sanitized, and can reduce the burden on beekeepers. That is.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a honey-collecting device according to the present invention includes two frames hinged so as to be opened and closed, and a metal wire in a mesh shape fitted in each of the two frames. Two woven wire meshes made by weaving, and by closing the two frames, natural beehives of Japanese bees are sandwiched between the two woven wire meshes, and the nest frame is replaced with a centrifuge for honey extraction. It features that it can be installed.

  According to the present invention, there is no artificial method of attaching a nest frame with a nest foundation to a nest box and nesting it to a bee. Honey is collected from the accumulated natural nest. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to prepare several nest frame type nest boxes, Japanese beehive foundations, and nest frames, and the cost can be reduced, and it is possible to breed with a simple nest box made by oneself.

  In addition, according to the present invention, a device for collecting honey, in which a natural nest piece of Japanese bees is sandwiched between two woven wire meshes, is attached to a centrifuge developed for collecting honey of western bees instead of a nest frame. Can do. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily extract nectar from a natural nest piece of Japanese bees using a centrifuge, and it is possible to shorten the time required for nectar. In addition, according to the present invention, since a centrifuge is used for collecting nectar, there is little damage caused by dust and pests, and excellent hygiene is achieved.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the cost and time required for honey collection in beekeeping of Japanese bees can be reduced, honey can be collected hygienically, and a honey-collecting instrument that can reduce the burden on beekeepers can be provided.

  Hereinafter, specific embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The present invention is applied to, for example, a honey-taking tool 1 having a structure as shown in FIGS.

  First, the configuration of the honey-taking tool 1 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the honey-taking instrument 1 has two frames 2a and 2b that are hinged so as to be opened and closed, and a mesh fitted in each of the two frames 2a and 2b. Two woven wire meshes 3a and 3b formed by weaving metal wires in a shape are provided as main parts.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the two frames 2 a and 2 b have the same shape and are hinged so as to be opened and closed by a hinge 6. The two frames 2a and 2b are obtained by processing wood so as to have, for example, a length of 45 cm, a width of 24 cm, a height of 2 cm, and a thickness of 1 cm in consideration of the standard of the centrifuge 7 to be used. The height when the frames 2a and 2b are overlapped is 4 cm. The sizes of the frames 2a and 2b are appropriately changed according to the standard of the centrifuge 7 to be used.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the two frames 2a and 2b are provided with grooves 4a and 4b on the inner side, and the insertion ports 5a and 3b of the woven wire meshes 3a and 3b are provided on one side in the longitudinal direction of the frames 2a and 2b. 5b is provided.

  The two woven wire meshes 3a and 3b are made by weaving stainless steel wires in a mesh shape, and are reinforced by surrounding the stainless steel wires with the stainless steel wires so that they can be easily attached to and detached from the grooves 4a and 4b. Thus, since the woven wire meshes 3a, 3b can be easily detached from the frames 2a, 2b, the grooves 4a, 4b can be easily cleaned, and when the woven wire meshes 3a, 3b are damaged, the woven wire meshes 3a, 3b are replaced. be able to.

  The grooves 4a and 4b are provided at a height of 1.5 cm of the frames 2a and 2b. As shown in FIG. 1, the woven wire meshes 3a and 3b are fitted along the grooves 4a and 4b as shown in FIG. , 2b is closed, a 3 cm gap is formed between the woven wire mesh 3a and the woven wire mesh 3b.

  Next, operation | movement of the instrument 1 for honeying is demonstrated. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the frames 2a and 2b are opened. A natural nest of Japanese bees with honey is cut out with a knife or the like, and the cut out natural nest piece is placed on one side of the woven wire mesh 3a, 3b. Then, by closing the side of the frames 2a and 2b where the natural nest piece is not placed, the natural nest piece is sandwiched in a 3 cm gap formed between the woven wire mesh 3a and the woven wire mesh 3b.

  Subsequently, the nest piece is attached to the centrifuge for honey removal instead of the nest frame in a state where the natural nest piece is sandwiched between the woven wire mesh 3a and the woven wire mesh 3b. And the centrifuge 7 is operated and honey is collected. As the centrifuge 7 for collecting honey, a commercially available one as shown in FIG. 3 is used. Since the operation of the centrifuge 7 is the same as the operation when a general nest frame is used, the description thereof is omitted.

  Finally, the operation of the honey-taking tool 1 will be described. According to the honey-collecting device 1, there is no artificial method of nesting the beehive by attaching several nest frames with a nest foundation to the beehive. The honey is collected from the natural nest. Therefore, according to the honey-collecting device 1, it is not necessary to prepare a nest frame type nest box, a Japanese beehive foundation, and several nest frames, and the cost can be reduced. The burden can be reduced.

  Also, according to the honey-collecting device 1, the honey-collecting device 1 in which the natural nest pieces of Japanese bees are sandwiched between the two woven wire meshes 3a and 3b is used as a centrifuge 7 developed for honey-collecting western bees. It can be attached instead of the nest frame. Therefore, according to the instrument 1 for honey-collecting, it is possible to easily extract honey from the natural nest of Japanese bees using the centrifuge 7, and the time required for honey-collecting can be shortened. Moreover, according to the tool 1 for honey-collecting, since the centrifuge 7 is used for honey-making, there is little damage by dust and a pest, and there exists an outstanding effect also in terms of hygiene.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

It is an Example of this invention and is a figure which shows the state which closed the frame of the tool for honey. It is an Example of this invention and is a figure which shows the state which opened the frame of the tool for honey. It is a figure which shows the centrifuge for honey extraction marketed.
