[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a nesting box for beekeeping collecting honey relates hives for row UYo bees especially using Japanese bee.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Common beekeeping is performed using western bees. In beekeeping using western bees, a nest box with a plurality of nest plates inserted therein is used. It is formed. In particular, the nest plate is provided with a special nest foundation with a honeycomb shape, and the western bees have the property of forming a nest well on both sides of the nest foundation. A beehive is carried out by inserting a nest board in which the lantern is stretched into the nest box.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, wild Japanese bees have existed in Japan for a long time, and many Japanese bees naturally nest in trees in the mountains of Noyama. However, such Japanese bees have heretofore been hardly used for beekeeping. The reason for this is that if a nest plate with a nest foundation is inserted into the nest box, the western bee will make a nest relatively easily, the nest will be regenerated quickly after collecting the nectar, and the amount of honey will be high. . However, because Japanese bees are strong in nature, even if you try to nest them by attaching them to a nest board with a nest foundation, the bees will eat away the nest foundation, In a nest box made for the purpose, the nest cannot be enlarged and honey cannot be collected well.
[0004]
For this reason, bee-keeping using Japanese bees is currently rarely done because honey yields are significantly lower than bee-keeping using western bees. Because of its high density and honey, there has been a demand for improvement of beekeeping using Japanese bees.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a nesting box for beekeeping which can be satisfactorily beekeeping with Japan bee.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
To achieve the above object, hives for beekeeping according to the present invention is to perform the nesting Japan bees a beehive for beekeeping performing beekeeping, comprising a first stage beehive and the second stage beehive from the top of at least Each hive box is assembled in a vertically long form so that it can be separated, and the hive box is formed in a vertically long box shape, and a plane between which the thin nest box or blade can be inserted is formed as a separation surface between the first hive box and the second hive box A cover plate is detachably placed on the top of the first nest box, and a plurality of vent holes are provided in a side wall portion of the nest box including a side surface of the cover plate, and a metal mesh is stretched over the vent hole. An inner lid plate is removably attached to the upper portion of the first step nest box with a gap formed on both sides, and the lid plate covers the inner lid plate so as to provide a space. A top plate is placed on the top of the nest box, and a bottom plate is removably attached to the bottom of the bottom nest box. When the nest box is removed and harvested, the inner lid plate is attached to the top of the second nest box, the lid plate is placed on the inner lid plate, and the bottom plate is removed from the bottom of the lowermost nest box. A new lowest nest box is assembled below the lowest nest box.
[0007]
[Action / Effect ]
In beehive such a beekeeping, without using a nest plate having stretched the Suishizue which is conventionally used, in order to allow made a nest in the space in the nest box of box-shaped, strong nature of the wild Even Japanese bees can make their nests large enough to harvest a lot of honey using Japanese bees.
[0008]
When harvesting honey, the upper part of the beehive in the nest box is separated and removed by moving it horizontally through a thin wire or blade between the first and second hive boxes from above. Remove the beehive from the nest box and collect honey from the beehive. Thereafter, the open top surface of the second stage hives, with putting the cover plate, by attaching a new lowermost hives the bottom of the nest box, to continue the nesting Japan bee.
[0009]
As a result, even after collecting honey, the honey can be further expanded to collect honey, and it is possible to perform good beekeeping using wild Japanese bees that naturally inhabit Noyama. It is possible to harvest more unique and rich delicious honey.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. When beekeeping is performed using Japanese bees, a nest box 1 as shown in FIG. 1 is used. The nest box 1 is formed of a vertically long wooden box in which a first-stage nest box 2, a second-stage nest box 3, and a third-stage nest box 4 are stacked and connected vertically from top to bottom. The first nest box 2 and the second nest box 3 do not have a bottom plate, the internal space communicates, and the bottom plate 4a is attached to the third nest box 4 which is the lowest level. In addition, a narrow horizontally long entrance opening 7 is provided in the lower front portion of the third nesting box 4 for the entrance and exit of bees.
[0011]
Between the first nest box 2 and the second nest box 3, and between the second nest box 3 and the third nest box 4, the top and bottom nest boxes are formed by just abutting the end portions of the side walls. The abutment surface is located in a horizontal plane, and when a honeycomb is cut out after the nesting of a Japanese bee, which will be described later, a thin wire or a cutting tool is inserted between them to cut the nest.
[0012]
In this way, at the corners between the first nesting box 2 and the second nesting box 3 and between the second nesting box 3 and the third nesting box 4 with the upper and lower ends of the side walls being in contact with each other. The angle-shaped fixture 15 having a shape bent at a right angle is fixed so as to be removable with a wood screw or the like, between the first nesting box 2 and the second nesting box 3 and between the second nesting box 3 and the second nesting box 3. The three nest boxes 4 are connected. Small vents 8 are provided on both sides of the inlet opening 7 on the front side of the lowermost third stage hive box 4, and vertically long vents 12 are provided on the back side thereof, while small vents are provided on the lower sides of both sides. A pore 13 is provided. All of these vent holes 8, 12 and 13 are stretched with a wire mesh 14 to prevent the intrusion of worms (eg, moth larvae) into the nest box.
[0013]
As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, an inner lid plate 6 is attached on the uppermost first nest box 2 of the nest box 1. The inner lid plate 6 serves as a ceiling plate for adhering and holding the upper part of the honeycomb formed in the hive 1, and in order to improve the air permeability in the vicinity thereof, both sides of the inner lid plate 6 are provided. The inner cover plate 6 is attached in a state where a gap 6a is formed on the upper cover plate 5 so that the air in the nest box escapes upward through the space above the inner cover plate 6 so that the cover plate 5 To cover.
[0014]
The cover plate 5 is formed by attaching a frame plate 5a surrounding the upper portion of the first nest box 2 around the rectangular plate, and the cover plate 5 is put on the upper portion of the first step nest box 2 on the inner cover plate 6. The cover plate 5 is formed so that a gap for ventilation is formed between the cover plate 5 and the inner cover plate 6. That is, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, the cover plate 5 is attached so that a frame is attached around the upper side wall of the first nest box 2 and the cover plate 5 is placed on the frame to create a space inside thereof. Is put on. In addition, a step portion may be provided at the lower part of the frame plate of the cover plate 5 so that the cover plate 5 is slightly lifted and covered on the upper portion of the first nesting box 2. By providing a step portion at the upper end portion, the lid plate 5 can be fitted on the first nest box 2 with the cover plate 5 slightly lifted.
[0015]
Small vent holes 9 are provided on both sides on the front surface of the frame plate 5a forming the side wall of the cover plate 5, laterally vent holes 10 are provided on both sides on the side surface of the frame plate 5a, and further on the back surface thereof. The horizontally long vent holes 11 are provided on both sides. A wire mesh 14 is stretched over the vent holes 9, 10, and 11 to prevent the intrusion of the smooth paper. The cover plate 5 is detachably put on the first nest box 2.
[0016]
When beekeeping is performed using Japanese bees, first, in the spring breeding season, the nest box 1 having the above-described configuration is installed in an appropriate place such as in the forest, and the separated Japanese bees are guided to the nest box 1 and the nest inside the nest box 1 Start making. Japanese honeybees that nest naturally in Noyama, in the spring, when multiple queen bees are born in a single nest, the queen bees leave some of the male and worker bees and leave the nest. A group of bees with queen bees separated in this way is led to the nest box 1 and a nest is formed in it.
[0017]
The Japanese bees begin to make nests in the nest box 1, and make the honeycombs 20 to hang from the inner cover plate 6 on the ceiling for a while to enlarge the nests. As it approaches from summer to summer, the temperature rises and the temperature and humidity in the nest box 1 also rises. However, ventilation holes 9, 10, 11 are opened in the four sides of the cover plate 5 on the nest box 1. The temperature and humidity in the hive 1 can be lowered. Japanese bees are very weak against worms (larvae such as moths that enter the nest box), and when the worms enter the nest box 1, the nesting is abandoned. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the invasion of worms, continue the nesting, and make the honeycomb sufficiently large.
[0018]
In this state, from spring to summer, the Japanese bee grows its honeycomb 20 from the first nest box 2 to the second nest box 3 and the third nest box 4 to grow a large number of larvae. In the upper part, that is, in the nest in the first nest box 2, a honey storage room is created to store the honey.
[0019]
When the nectar storage chamber has grown, remove the fixture 15 between the first nest box 2 and the second nest box 3, and insert a thin wire or blade between the first nest box 2 and the second nest box 3. Then, the honeycomb 20 in the nest box 1 is cut between the first nest box 2 and the second nest box 3 by moving it horizontally. Then, the first nest box 2 is separated from the second nest box 3 below and removed. At this time, since the side part of the honeycomb 20 in the second nest box 3 is attached and held to the side wall of the second nest box 3, the part below the honeycomb 20 does not fall. In this way, the honeycomb 20 in the removed first-stage hive 2 is cut from the honeycomb, and honey is collected from the honeycomb.
[0020]
After the first nest box 2 is separated, the second nest box 3 and the third nest box 4 have an inner cover plate 6 removed from the upper part of the first nest box 2 and a gap 6a in the upper part of the second nest box 3. Is fixed in a state where it is provided on both sides, and a cover plate 5 is placed thereon. Then, the bottom plate 4a of the third nest box 4 is removed, and a fourth step nest box (not shown) is combined and fixed to the lower part of the third nest box 4 with the fixture 15, and the bottom plate 4a is fixed to the bottom of the fourth nest box 4. And reconstruct the original three-stage birdhouse. In this case, it is of course possible to use the first nest box 2 after removing the beehive as the fourth nest box.
[0021]
In addition, when the honeycombs in the second and third nesting boxes 3 and 4 after the removal of the first and second nesting boxes 2 are not so large and there is room in the space, without attaching the fourth nesting box, The structure of a two-stage nest box in which the inner lid plate 6 and the lid plate 5 are simply attached to the upper part of the second nest box 3, that is, a two-stage nest box consisting of only the second and third nest boxes 4, and then Japan The bee nesting may be continued.
[0022]
Thereafter, in the nest box 1, the nest is restored by the working bees, and the honey is stored again in the upper part of the nests, and the nectar can be collected in the same manner. The Japanese honeybee honey collected in this way is denser, richer and more delicious than western honeybee honey, is valued as a health food, etc., and is used well as a material for various dishes.
[0023]
When the beehive 20 grows to substantially the entire hive 1, a royal family is formed below the beehive 20, where a queen bee larva is born. Since a queen bee usually becomes an adult on the 21st day after birth, the royal part of the beehive 20 is extracted 3 days before becoming an adult, and it is put in another new nest box 1. The queen bee group that was born is sealed in its nest box 1 and begins to build a new nest. For this reason, thereafter, it can be artificially sealed in the nest box 1 to easily increase the number of Japanese bee nests and increase the yield of honey.
[0024]
By carrying out beekeeping in this way, it is possible to efficiently collect delicious and dense honey using Japanese wild bees with a strong wild nature, and the honey yield of Japanese bees is significantly higher than before. Can be increased.
[0025]
In the above embodiment, the nest box 1 has a three-stage structure of the first-stage nest box 2, the second-stage nest box 3, and the third-stage nest box 4. However, the nest box 1 has a two-stage structure or a four-stage structure. You can also.
