Description

The present invention has 7 fields that are serious obstacles to beekeeping, 1 Prevention of bee attack by bees 2 Simple feeding 3 Prevention of beekeeping during feeding 4 minutes Capturing bees and storing them in nest boxes 5 Invasion of pests such as bees Prevention 6 Prevention of bee entry into the nest 7 Comprehensive 7 major obstacle prevention devices that consolidate the prevention of damage caused by the bee's counterattack against wasp attacks in one box. We will provide safe equipment by simplifying the shortcomings of the conventional method that was individually handled, complicated and inefficient, incomplete pest protection, and increasing the number of equipment by individually responding.

The beekeeper's assault by 1 is done with full equipment of protective clothing, protective surface, protective gloves, and protective shoes, and the work is done by removing the lid of the bee box with equipment that literally prevents one bee from entering. There is a risk of heat stroke on hot days, and there is flooding of the nest during heavy rains. Also, in the work of removing the lid of the bee box, the impact and vibration on the bee box that causes the attack of the bees are unavoidable, and there are many attacks on the beekeepers by the bees.
If you work while avoiding attacks from bees by removing the lid of the bee box of 2 and feeding with skillful techniques, the beekeeper's attack by bees will decrease, but beekeeping will steal once it occurs due to an event beyond human intelligence. Either or both groups must be relocated in order for both groups to suffer great damage and converge. A deadly battle between the feeding group and the bee-thief group occurs in 1 hour, or 30 minutes at the earliest, and as a result, if the feeding group loses, even the nectar in the nest is stolen and goes on the path of death. Even if they win, the damage to the worker bees in both groups will be great and both groups will decline significantly. Preventing going out near the exit causes confusion between the colony collapse disorder and the surviving colony, hindering the early formation of the colony collapse disorder, and when the new queen is born, a deadly battle with the old queen occurs, and one of them survives to death. The queen bee is often impaired, which causes problems in subsequent spawning.
Invasion of the great wax moth of No. 4 into the nest cannot be prevented.
The 5th swarming attack and the resulting ineffective counterattack of the bees have not been completely successfully stopped. Captures and killers have no effect on returning from the entrance. It can be inferred that those using electricity are harmful to honeybees after rain or when they get wet in the rain. It is said that the existence of the wasp, which is the apex predator of the insect kingdom, can suppress the breeding of alien species and the ecosystem is leaning.
Beekeeping will be possible while avoiding the killing of wasps, the apex predator of the insect kingdom.

Problems to be solved by the invention

The nest mouth attachment of Patent Document 1 can prevent the invasion of honeybees into the nest, but cannot prevent the killing of honeybees by hornets and the death battle with honeybees caused by it, and ends with a mass death of honeybees. Even if there is, there are many cases of returning from the approach road, and the effect is small.
In the trap of Patent Document 2, honeybees can pass through the mesh of the extermination device killing part, and the honeybees that are being bitten and killed by attacking the captured wasps themselves are seriously damaged. Even if there is a catcher, it is often returned from the approach road, and the effect is small.
In the trap of Patent Document 3, when a wasp is captured in the assisting part, the honeybee rises from the induction part, goes through a hole, enters the killing part, and attacks, so the damage caused by the wasp is enormous. Even if there is a catcher, it is often returned from the approach road, and the effect is small.
The trap of Patent Document 4 cannot prevent the honeybee from being attacked until the wasp enters the killing part, and also enters the killing part for the attack and is bitten by the wasp. Killing is just a name and does not have the function of killing insects, and it attracts fellow wasps to the bee's nest for several days until starvation. Even if there is a catcher, it is often returned from the approach road, and the effect is small.

Means to solve problems

Seven major obstacle prevention devices for beekeeping.
1 Prevention of bee attack by bees 2 Simple feeding 3 Prevention of bee stealing during feeding 4 minutes Capturing bees and storing them in nest boxes 5 Preventing bees from entering the nest 6 Preventing bees from entering the nest 7 By counterattacking bees against wasps Seven major obstacle prevention devices that integrate comprehensive functions to solve damage prevention into one device.

Prevention of beekeeper attacks by honeybees The first invention is prevention of beekeeper attacks by honeybees. In the beekeeper's attack on the beekeeper, the lid of the hive is removed and the hive is fed from the top of the hive using a feeder. Bees use propolis to block the gaps in their nests and prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, so the lid is fixed to the main body by propolis. The fixed lid is broken with a special tool such as a hive tool and the lid is removed, but since it is firmly fixed, a great force is required.
If the impact of destruction is large, the bees will attack the nest, judging that it is an attack.
In order to avoid the attack, it is only necessary to feed without removing the lid of the honeycomb, so a feeding space connected to the hive will be provided on the outside of the hive. Unlike the nest box, the feeding space provided on the outside is characterized by the fact that there is no sticking of propolis and the lightweight lid with a handle can be opened to easily feed without being attacked by honeybees.

Simple feeding The second invention is simple feeding. Since simple feeding, bee attack, and destruction of the fixed part of the fixed lid are closely related, duplicate explanations are included. In the conventional feeding, the lid of the hive was opened and the hive was fed from the top of the hive using a feeder. Bees use propolis to block the gaps in their nests and prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, so the lid is fixed to the main body by propolis. The fixed lid is broken with a special tool such as a hive tool and the lid is removed, but since it is firmly fixed, a great force is required.
If the impact of destruction is large, the bees will attack the nest, judging that it is an attack. Therefore, it is a delicate work that minimizes the impact at the time of sticking failure while applying great force.
Unlike the birdhouse, the feeding space provided close to the outside is characterized by the fact that there is no sticking of propolis and the lightweight lid with a handle can be opened for easy feeding.

Bee prevention In addition, bees often occur when feeding from the nest gate even when normal feeding is not performed, but in the flowerless season when feeding is required, if a feeder is installed at the nest gate, sugar scented from the feeder outside the nest box The smell of the liquid invites the arrival of other bees, causing a deadly battle between the feeding group and the bee-stealing group.
Since this feeding space is sealed except for the gate where bees enter and exit, the odor of feeding that leaks out is greatly reduced and bee theft is prevented. Moreover, it is characterized in that multiple gates can be installed as needed.

Capturing bees and storing them in hives The third invention is capturing bees and storing them in hives.
Traditionally, bees have been devised with a lot of emphasis on prevention and prevention, not capture. A simple nest box of the queen bee or blocking the outing near the exit causes confusion between the colony collapse disorder and the surviving colony, hinders the early formation of the colony collapse disorder, and causes a death battle with the old queen when the new queen is born. , The queen bee who survived the death is often damaged, and the subsequent spawning is hindered.
Colony collapse disorder, including the queen bee, has a complete separation space from the original hive and the queen bee can be captured in the colony collapse disorder and smoothly moved to the new hive. It features a catcher.

Prevention of invasion of insect pests such as Greater wax moth The fourth invention is prevention of invasion of insects such as Greater wax moth.
Since the moths of flying insects such as the Greater Wax Moth have strong straightness, a protective wall will be installed in parallel on the passage so that they cannot go straight to the nest gate. One touches the wall, and if it progresses toward the wall, it cannot become a nest. If you go in the other direction, you will be guided diagonally outward by hitting the protective wall installed so that it has an blunt angle on the outside and an acute angle on the inside like the character shape of a Kanji one stroke, and then in the parallel direction, the nest direction, the parallel direction, and then. It is a structure that reaches the inside of the protective wall guided in the diagonally outward direction and is guided in the diagonally outward direction again to make it difficult to approach the nest. Moreover, it features a structure that can increase or decrease the defense wall according to the number of pests. Since moths have phototaxis, when light enters from the gate, they are guided to the outside and prevent the destruction of the ecosystem due to the capture of moths.

Preventing hornets from entering the nest Since hornets and honeybees have large differences in physique, use the differences to prevent them from entering. A gate will be provided at the first gate and the outer gate, where hornets cannot pass but honeybees can. This gate is made of a material that will not be bitten or shaken by wasps. And the structure is variable so that the queen bee cannot pass but the worker bee can pass.

The fifth invention prevents damage caused by the honeybee's counterattack against the invasion of the hornet. When the honeybee attacks the honeybee outside the gate, the honeybee releases a pheromone and informs a friend that a foreign enemy has arrived and signals a counterattack. And the more pheromones that many bees emit when they enter the war and are killed, the more fragile the counterattack. However, this counterattack is meaningless and often ends with a pile of dead bees. Japanese honeybees that have lived in harmony with hornets have prospered by avoiding death fights due to escape, etc., but it is said that honeybees bred in the beekeeping industry cannot escape and fight until extinction, so they cannot become wild.
To stop this suicidal counterattack, the pheromones of the bees attacked by the wasps must not reach the bees in the nest. There are many bees called gatekeeper bees in front of the nest gate. A gate will be provided on the outside of this gatekeeper bee. It will be the second gate.
There are many bees such as gatekeeper bees in the space from the nest gate to the second gate.
Since this gate is in contact with the outside world as it is, the gatekeeper bees and others immediately feel the death battle with the wasp in front of the gate, and induce a suicidal counterattack against the wasp. In order to prevent this, the first gate is provided outside the second gate with a space where the stimulus of the wasp invasion is not transmitted. The counterattack of honeybees can be eliminated by providing a space between the first gate and the second gate where the stimulus of the wasp invasion outside the first gate is not transmitted to the honeybees in the second gate. This prevents damage from defense counterattacks.
The number of gates and the size of the space are characterized by increasing or decreasing depending on the size of the bee swarm and the number of wasps.

Effect of the invention

In the past, individual projects were dealt with by individual measures and individual devices. As a result of this invention, since the equipment can be integrated, the number of equipment can be reduced, the capacity of each equipment can be improved, and heat stroke can be reduced by not wearing protective clothing and simplification, and the efficiency and labor of beekeeping work can be reduced. And safety can be improved. Specifically, 1 Prevention of bee attack by bees 2 Simple feeding 3 Prevention of bee stealing 4 minutes Capturing bees and storing them in nest boxes 5 Defensive walls such as bees hornets Preventing pests from entering 6 Preventing bees from entering the nest 7 Damage caused by bee counterattacks We were able to consolidate the comprehensive functions that solve the prevention of honeybees into one box. Compared to many single-function devices, it has achieved low cost, space saving, high performance, and above all, a high level of safety.

It is a path map of a great wax moth and other insect pest entry defense walls and a great wax moth and the like in the seven major obstacle prevention devices for beekeeping.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the following description of the preferred embodiment is essentially merely an example and is not intended to limit the present invention, its application or its use.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the seven major obstacle prevention devices for beekeeping according to the embodiment of the present invention as viewed from above. This 7 major obstacle prevention device for beekeeping is a device for preventing the 7 major obstacles for beekeeping. The seven major obstacle prevention devices for beekeeping are: 1 Prevention of bee attack by bees 2 Simple feeding 3 Prevention of beekeeping 4 minutes Capturing bees and storing them in nest boxes 5 Preventing pests such as great wax moths 6 Bees Prevention of invasion into the nest 7 It is possible to prevent damage caused by the counterattack of honeybees, but it can also be used as a trap if an adhesive is installed inside a pest invasion prevention structure such as beekeeping moth. ..
The first gate of reference numeral 1 is made of a material that a wasp cannot pass through and cannot penetrate through.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the upper part of the beekeeping according to the embodiment of the present invention with the lid removed.
Between the first gate of reference numeral 1 and the second gate of reference numeral 2, there is a bee capture and wasp attack stimulus isolation space of reference numeral 6. This is also a space for installing a parallel defense wall such as the Greater wax moth of reference numeral 4 and a defense wall such as the Greater wax moth of reference numeral 5. The increase or decrease in the defensive wall corresponds to the breeding density of moths.

FIG. 3 is a plan view seen from above with the lid of the seven major obstacle prevention devices for beekeeping removed.
Between the first gate of reference numeral 1 and the second gate of reference numeral 2, there is a bee capture and wasp attack stimulus isolation space of reference numeral 6. Except for spaces, it is omitted.
Between the second gate of reference numeral 2 and the nest gate of reference numeral 3, there is a gatekeeper bee of reference numeral 7 and a feeding installation space. Feeders etc. are omitted. The distance between the nest gate and the second gate is variable according to the size of the gatekeeper bees and the colony collapse disorder.

FIG. 4 is a plan view seen from above, with the lid of the seven major obstacle prevention devices for beekeeping removed, and the space for beekeeping with reference numeral 6 and the hornet attack stimulus isolation space enlarged.
Between the first gate of reference numeral 1 and the second gate of reference numeral 2, there is a bee capture and wasp attack stimulus isolation space of reference numeral 6. A parallel defense wall such as the Greater wax moth of reference numeral 4 and a defense wall such as the Greater wax moth of reference numeral 5 are also installed at this location. It shows the passage of honeybees in this state. Bees can accurately recognize the location of the nest and take the shortest passage to the nest without detouring.

FIG. 5 is a plan view seen from above, with the lid of the seven major obstacle prevention devices for beekeeping removed, and the space for beekeeping capture and hornet attack stimulus isolation space of reference numeral 6 enlarged.
Between the first gate of reference numeral 1 and the second gate of reference numeral 2, there is a bee capture and wasp attack stimulus isolation space of reference numeral 6. A parallel defense wall such as the Greater wax moth of reference numeral 4 and a defense wall such as the Greater wax moth of reference numeral 5 are also installed at this location. The path of the great wax moth and the like in this state is shown. Flying insects such as the great wax moth have a high degree of straightness, and when they hit a wall, they are likely to move in an obtuse angle. If a defensive wall using this straightness is installed, it will be difficult to enter the beehive. In addition, since light enters from the first gate at sunrise, it can escape to the outside world due to phototaxis, and it is possible to reduce the influence on the ecosystem in which the great wax moth and the like survive.
