Description

  The present invention relates to a bee-attracting trap for attracting and capturing bees such as wasps and wasps.

Conventionally, various kinds of bee attracting traps have been known.
Among them, a general bee attracting trap includes a container having an open top as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-73144 filed earlier by the present applicant. At the same time, a lid was attached to the top of the container to form a catch port for bees into the lid, and a cover was provided above the lid.

  In the bee attracting trap with such a configuration, the bees are attracted by the attracting action of the attracting trap liquid placed inside the container, and the bees enter and are captured from the trap formed in the lid. It was supposed to be.

  In addition, in this bee attracting trap, in order to enhance not only the attracting action by the attracting trap liquid contained in the container, but also the bee attracting effect, the container and the lid may be identified with, for example, red or black. The color of this was also used to attract bees by this color.

JP 2004-73144 A

  In such a conventional bee attracting trap, the bee is attracted by the attracting action of the attracting and trapping liquid contained in the container and the attracting action of a specific color attached to the container and the lid. However, the attracting action by color is not so great compared to the attracting action by the attracting and trapping solution, and changes greatly depending on the season, the weather, the environmental conditions such as the place of use, and the kind and sex of the bees to be captured. It was something that was going on and not universal. For this reason, the actual situation of attracting actual bees is that the attracting action of the attracting and trapping liquid contained in the container exerts an effect.

  And in this bee-attracting trap, the bees that have entered due to the attracting action of the attraction-capturing liquid jump around in the attempt to return to the nest after ingesting the attraction-trapping liquid, and finally the capture port formed on the lid The problem was that the trapping rate of bees in the bee attracting trap was low.

  In view of the above problems, the present invention eliminates as much as possible the bees entering the bee attracting trap due to the attracting action of the attracting trapping liquid again from the capture port, and the bees in the bee attracting trap The challenge is to increase the capture rate.

  As a result of diligent research and experiments, the present inventor has focused on the visible light transmittance in the bee attracting trap, and by devising and adjusting the visible light transmittance in this bee attracting trap, It has been found that bees that have entered the trap can be prevented from jumping out of the trap as much as possible, thereby increasing the capture rate.

  The first invention is a bee attracting and trapping device comprising a container in which an upper part containing an attracting and capturing liquid is opened, and a lid formed with a catching opening for attaching bees to the upper part of the container. The container and the lid are bee attracting traps in which the visible light transmittance in the material of the lid is lower than the visible light transmittance in the material of the container.

  According to a second invention, in the first invention, the visible light transmittance of the lid material is in the range of 0% to 30%, and the visible light transmittance of the container material is 50% to 99%. This is a bee-attracting trap.

  According to a third invention, in the first to second inventions, the bee attracting method in which the outer surface area of the lid is less than half of the total outer surface area of the outer surface area of the lid and the outer surface area of the container. It is a trap.

  A fourth invention is a bee attracting trap according to the first to third inventions, wherein a diameter of a capture port formed in the lid is 14 mm to 20 mm.

  A fifth invention is a bee attracting trap according to any one of the first to fourth inventions, wherein the capture port formed in the lid is formed in a funnel shape and the depth of the capture port is 5 mm to 20 mm. is there.

  A sixth invention is a bee attracting trap made by a processing molding method using a resin sheet in the lid and the container in the first invention to the fifth invention.

  A seventh invention includes a roof that covers the capture port formed in the lid while having a space in the first invention to the sixth invention, and has a visible light transmittance in the material of the roof. It is a bee attracting trap within a range of 0% to 50%.

  The eighth invention is a bee attracting trap made by a processing molding method using a resin sheet in the roof according to the seventh invention.

  According to the present invention, the visible light transmittance in the material of the lid is made lower than the visible light transmittance in the material of the container, and in particular, the visible light transmittance in the material of the lid is in the range of 0% to 30%. By making the visible light transmittance in the range of 50% to 99%, the upper lid side can be darkened and the lower container side can be brightened. Due to the habits of mosquitoes, bees that have once entered inside can be prevented from going to the lid side, and can be prevented from jumping out from the catching port of the lid, so that the final capture rate can be increased, and a bee-attracting trap As a very breakthrough product.

  According to the present invention, the outer surface area of the lid is made half or less of the total outer surface area of the outer surface area of the lid and the outer surface area of the container, thereby preventing the lower container from being darkened by the upper lid. In this way, it is possible to prevent the bees that have entered inside from jumping out of the catch port of the lid.

  According to the present invention, when the diameter of the capture port formed in the lid is set to 14 mm to 20 mm, the bees are attracted by the attraction capture liquid contained in the container and enter the inside through the capture port of the lid. It becomes very easy to penetrate and this can increase the capture rate.

  According to the present invention, the capture port formed in the lid is formed in a funnel shape, and the depth dimension is set to 5 mm to 20 mm. The bees can now be made more difficult to escape, and the final capture rate can be further increased.

  According to the present invention, the lid and the container are made by a processing molding method using a resin sheet, so that the lid and the container can be compared with those made by conventional injection molding or blow molding. The weight of the container can be reduced, and thus the weight of the bee attracting / trapping device can be reduced. By this weight reduction, it can be hung and attached to various places, and the use place is limited as much as possible, and a highly versatile product can be obtained. In addition, the weight reduction makes it possible to increase the convenience of the bee-attracting trap when it is distributed, and it can be easily used by consumers who are consumers. When it is recycled, it can be handled very easily, and the recyclability and the like can be improved to make a product that is good for the environment.

  According to the present invention, by providing a roof that covers the capture port formed in the lid while having a space, when the bee attracting trap is installed outdoors by this roof, such as rainwater It is possible to prevent invasion and to prevent the attracting and trapping liquid contained in the container from being diluted, and it can be used for a long period of time, and can be made excellent as a product. Moreover, by making the visible light transmittance in the roof material in the range of 0% to 50%, the entrance of light from the lid capture port into the container is blocked, and the visible light on the lid side is suppressed. By improving the light shielding property, it is possible to prevent the bees that have entered inside from moving toward the lid at all, and to prevent the bees from jumping out from the catch port of the lid, thereby further increasing the final capture rate.

  According to the present invention, the roof is lighter than the one made by a conventional general method such as injection molding or blow molding because it is made by a processing molding method using a resin sheet. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce the weight of the bee attracting trap. This weight reduction makes it possible to hang and attach to various places, making it a highly versatile product, increasing the convenience during distribution of the bee attracting trap, and being a consumer It can be used easily by users due to its convenience, and it can be handled very easily when it is disposed or recycled, and it is highly environmentally friendly on the roof with improved recyclability.

An embodiment of a bee-attracting trap according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3.
As this bee attracting trap, a container 1 whose upper part is opened, a lid 3 in which a catch port 2 for attaching a bee to the upper part of this container 1 is formed, and an upper part of this lid 3 are covered. A roof 4 is used.

  The said container 1 becomes a substantially cup shape with the upper part open | released, and forms the several hollow part 6 in the side surface at equal intervals. And the attraction capture liquid 7 is put in this container 1. The attracting and capturing liquid 7 contains sugar, starch sugar, honey, lactic acid beverage, fruit juice, fruit juice beverage, etc. as a main raw material and contains a certain amount of sugar.

  The lid 3 has a substantially hemispherical shape, and the trap ports 2 are formed at two locations that are symmetrical in the horizontal direction. Then, the outer peripheral edge is fitted to the upper outer peripheral edge of the container 1 so as to be attached to the upper part of the container 1.

  The capture port 2 formed in the lid 3 is formed into a circular shape and a funnel shape hanging downward. And the diameter D in the lower end of this capture port 2 is 14 mm-20 mm, More preferably, it is 16 mm-20 mm, On the other hand, if the diameter D is smaller than 14 mm, the capture rate of large-sized bees such as giant hornets will decrease, If it is larger than 20 mm, things other than bees such as butterflies and beetles may enter. In addition, the capture rate of bees is higher when the diameter D is 16 mm or more than 14 mm. Furthermore, the depth dimension L in the funnel-shaped capture port 2 is 5 mm to 20 mm, more preferably 8 mm to 15 mm. This is because when the depth L at the capture port 2 is 5 mm to 20 mm, the bees easily enter the inside, and the bees that enter the inside are difficult to jump out, that is, it is difficult to escape. In order to further enhance this effect, the depth L at the capture port 2 is preferably 8 mm to 15 mm.

  In addition, the capture port 2 is not limited to the shape described above, and may be, for example, a cylindrical shape that is not a funnel shape but a straight shape, and is not a circle but a polygon, a triangle, a star shape, Any shape such as a square, a rectangle, or the like having a size of about 14 mm to 20 mm and having bees that can be easily inserted therein may be used. Further, the number of the capture ports 2 is not limited to the above-mentioned two places, but preferably from one place to about five or six places. If the number is increased more, the light-shielding property on the lid 3 side is lowered, and there is a possibility of adversely affecting the final capture rate. A large number of

  The roof 4 has a cylindrical shape toward the left and right, and the lower side is fitted to the container 1 and the upper side is formed with a space with the lid 3, that is, with respect to the catch port formed in the lid. S is provided so as to cover the entire capture port 2 and the lid 3. A suspension piece 10 is provided at the upper end, and a string or the like is attached to the suspension piece 10 so that the bee attracting trap can be suspended from a tree or the like. The roof 4 is made of a single resin sheet. As shown in FIG. 4, a tongue-shaped insertion piece 11 is formed on one end in the longitudinal direction, and the other end is formed on the other end. A horizontally long groove 12 is formed, and the insertion piece 11 is inserted into the groove 12 to form a cylinder. Furthermore, a container fitting hole 13 for inserting the container 1 in the approximate center in the longitudinal direction and two fitting holes 14 for fitting the outer peripheral edges of the container 1 and the lid 3 are formed and can stand up. The hanging piece 10 is formed.

  And in the bee attracting trap having such a configuration, in the container 1 and the lid 3, the visible light transmittance in the material of the lid 3 is lower than the visible light transmittance in the material of the container 1. To do.

  The visible light transmittance is a ratio at which light which is an electromagnetic wave of about 400 nm to about 700 nm under outdoor scattered light is transmitted, and can be measured using a spectrophotometer. In addition, when the value measured with the electromagnetic wave of about 550 nm is used, an average visible light transmittance can be obtained, which is preferable for convenience.

  And in the visible light transmittance in the material of the container 1 and the visible light transmittance in the material of the lid 3, the visible light transmittance in the material of the lid 3 is in the range of 0% to 30%, The visible light transmittance in the material of the container 1 is set in the range of 50% to 99%. More preferably, the visible light transmittance in the material of the lid 3 is in the range of 0% to 20%, and the visible light transmittance in the material of the container 1 is in the range of 60% to 99%.

Moreover, in such a container 1 and the lid | cover 3, the outer surface area in the lid | cover 3 is made into half or less of the total outer surface area which totaled the outer surface area in the said lid | cover 3 and the outer surface area in the said container 1. FIG. For example, specifically, the external surface area of the lid 3 is about 100 cm ^{2, the} external surface area of the container 1 is about 300 cm ² , and the total external surface area is about 400 cm ^2, so that the external surface area of the lid 3 is half the total external surface area. Below.

  On the other hand, the visible light transmittance in the material of the roof 4 is in the range of 0% to 50% to improve the light shielding property.

  In addition, the material of the container 1 and the material of the lid 3 are preferably made of resin in consideration of weather resistance and economy, but may be made of resin. And if it is made of resin, it can be manufactured by injection molding, blow molding, etc. that are generally performed in the past, but if possible, it can be manufactured by a resin sheet processing molding method, specifically by vacuum molding or pressure molding. preferable. Moreover, the thickness of the resin sheet to be used is preferably 0.2 mm to 1.2 mm, and more preferably 0.3 mm to 0.8 mm. Examples of the material to be used include general-purpose thermoplastic resins such as PET, PP, PE, PS, PC, and PVC. The adjustment of the visible light transmittance when made of resin is extremely easy, including changing the thickness of the resin itself, mixing pigments into the resin, mixing various inorganic materials, printing, vapor deposition, and lamination. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In addition, it is desirable that the container 1 has a glossy surface and inner surface, for example, frosted glass, semi-glossy, textured, frosted, sandblasted, etc. Therefore, it is difficult to see the dead carcasses of the captured bees, and the discomfort during use can be reduced. However, the visible light transmittance of the material of the container 1 is within the above-mentioned range, and some changes in visible light transmittance occur by performing these treatments, so this point needs to be considered. . Further, an ultraviolet absorber or the like may be added for the purpose of protecting the attracting / capturing liquid 7 placed in the container 1.

  Moreover, even if it is in the material of the said roof 4, it is preferable to make it from resin like the container 1 and the lid | cover 3 mentioned above, and when it is made from resin, the processing shaping | molding system by a resin sheet, specifically, vacuum forming or It is good to manufacture by pressure forming. Other points are similar to those of the container 1 and the lid 3 described above.

  In addition, the trapping targets in the bee-attracting trap are mainly bees such as wasps such as giant hornet, killer hornet, cross hornet, hornet, wasp, and wasp, and wasp such as phthalmon wasp. However, the present invention is not limited to these, and other insects, particularly insects that act by daylight, that is, rely on vision, may be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, the bee attracting trap is composed of the container 1, the lid 3, and the roof 4. good. Furthermore, the container 1, the lid 3, and the roof 4 are not limited to the shapes described above, and may have any shape as long as they have similar functions.

By changing the visible light transmittance in the material of the container 1 within the range of 50% to 99%, in short, by changing the visible light transmittance in the material of the lid 3 and the visible light transmittance in the material of the container 1 The upper lid 3 side can be darkened, and the lower container 1 side can be brightened, and bees enter through the capture port 2 formed in the lid 3 by the attracting action of the attraction capture liquid 7 placed in the container 1. After entering the attracting capture solution 7, the bee that flies in will fly around. At this time, the bee that flies in the brighter side than the darker side has a visible light transmittance of 0 Made by materials that range from 30% to 30% Without going to the upper lid 3 side which becomes dark at all, it will fly around the brighter container 1 side made of a material having a visible light transmittance in the range of 50% to 99%. Falls on the attracting and capturing solution 7. In this way, by using the behavior of bees, the bees that have once entered inside are prevented from moving toward the cover 3 side where it darkens, and they do not jump out of the capture port 2 of the cover 3 so that the final capture The rate can be increased. Further, when the visible light transmittance in the material of the lid 3 is in the range of 0% to 20% and the visible light transmittance in the material of the container 1 is in the range of 60% to 99%, the effect is further increased. The final capture rate can be greatly increased.

  Further, in the container 1 and the lid 3, the outer surface area of the lid 3 is set to be less than half of the total outer surface area obtained by summing the outer surface area of the lid 3 and the outer surface area of the container 1. The outer surface area on the side of the container 1 that is brighter than the outer surface area is always increased so that the darker lid 3 located on the upper side prevents the lower container 1 from becoming darker. Can be prevented from jumping out from the capture port 2 of the lid 3 as much as possible, and the capture rate can be further increased.

  In the capture port 2 formed in the lid 3, the diameter D is 14 mm to 20 mm, more preferably 16 mm to 20 mm, so that bees are attracted by the attraction capture liquid 7 placed in the container 1, and this lid It is possible to easily enter through the three capture ports 2 and increase the capture rate. In addition, the trap 2 has a funnel shape and a depth L of 5 mm to 20 mm, which makes it easier for bees to enter the trap 2 and this time, It is possible to make it difficult to escape, and to more effectively capture bees, the final capture rate can be further increased.

  On the other hand, since the material of the container 1 and the material of the lid 3 are made of resin, the visible light transmittance can be adjusted very easily while having weather resistance and economy. .

  In addition, when the container 1 and the lid 3 are manufactured by a processing molding method using a resin sheet such as vacuum molding or pressure molding, compared to those manufactured by a conventional general method such as injection molding or blow molding, The weight of the container 1 and the lid 3 can be reduced, and the weight of the bee attracting trap can be reduced, and the bee attracting trap is suspended at various places, for example, thin branches. It is possible to reduce the restriction of the place of use as much as possible.

Next, an experimental example in the bee attracting trap according to the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, a bee attracting and trapping device composed of a container 1 and a lid 3 is used. Each container 1 made of a material having a visible light transmittance of 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, 0% is prepared, and visible light Prepare lids 3 made of materials with transmittance of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%, and combine them. The experiment was conducted. The visible light transmittance at this time is a value measured with an electromagnetic wave of about 550 nm using a spectrophotometer. As an experimental method, it was carried out in a greenhouse, and the attracting / capturing solution 7 was put into the container 1 and 10 wasps were put into the bee attracting / capturing device and observed for about 12 hours, and the bees were about 12 hours later. Count the number of individuals that escaped from the attracting trap and calculate the escape rate (%). In addition, this was repeated 3 times and the escape rate (%) by average was taken out. The results are summarized in the following table.

  As shown in this table, no matter what the visible light transmittance of the material of the container 1 is, the escape rate (%) is high when the visible light transmittance of the material of the lid 3 is 40% or more. The escape rate (%) is as high as 60% or more. On the other hand, whatever the visible light transmittance of the material of the lid 3, the escape rate (%) is high when the visible light transmittance of the material of the container 1 is 40% or less, and particularly when it is 30% or less. Is as high as 60% or more.

  When the lid 3 made of a material having a visible light transmittance of 30% or less and the container 1 made of a material having a visible light transmittance of 50% or more are combined, the escape rate (%) is 20% or not at all. It was a very low value of 0% that did not escape. In short, it can be seen that the visible light transmittance in the material of the lid 3 is in the range of 0% to 30% and the visible light transmittance in the material of the container 1 is in the range of 50% to 90%. In addition, although experiment was not conducted, it is clear that even if the visible light transmittance in the material of the container 1 is 90% or more, it is very good.

  Next, the experiment about the effect of the roof 4 in the bee attracting trap composed of the container 1, the lid 3, and the roof 4 was conducted. In the bee attracting trap used in the experiment, the lid 3 uses colored PP as a material and has a visible light transmittance of 0%, and the container 1 uses PET as a material and the visible light. Using a roof with a transmittance of 85%, the roof 4 has no roof 4 as the experimental product 1, uses PP as a material as the experimental product 2, and has a visible light transmittance of 70%. 3 using PP as a material and having a visible light transmittance of 20%, and experimental product 4 using PP as a material and having a visible light transmittance of 0%. Experiment to see how it affects the presence or absence and differences. As an experimental method, from August to September, the bee-attracting trap was hung on an outdoor tree branch, collected about a month later, and finally escaped on the way without counting. The number of captured bees was counted. This was repeated three times to obtain an average number. The results are summarized in the following table.

  As shown in this table, for experimental product 1 and experimental product 2, the average number of captures of 3 times is 20 animals, whereas for experimental product 3, the average number of captures of 3 times is 23 animals, experimental product. For 4, the average number of captures of 3 times is 24 and the average number of captures is large. Thus, it can be seen that the number of captures varies depending on whether or not there is a roof.
