Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for collecting bee venom used for the treatment of rheumatism, neuralgia, hypotension, and the like.

(Conventional technology) In Western countries, especially Germany and the Soviet Union, bee venom (also called bee sting liquid) secreted from bees, especially bee stings, is used to treat rheumatism, neuralgia, hypotension, etc. The bee sting therapy used has been practiced as a folk medicine since ancient times, and this therapy is also practiced in Japan.

A typical bee carries about 0.1 inch of venom, or bee venom, and this bee venom has been found to be an excellent natural antibiotic. Therefore, the above-mentioned therapy using bee nails does not involve the chemical action of a suitable amount of bee venom reaching the human body, that is, by pricking the skin with a very small amount of bee venom, it rapidly penetrates subcutaneously and circulates in the blood circulation. make things better. Cure inflammation. Relieve pain. Kill the first one.

It is logical to have effects such as activating the nerves.

The properties of bee venom that are thought to be effective for the human body include neurotoxic effects for rheumatism, tissue damage and hemolytic effects, histamine-like effects for lowering blood pressure, and antibiotic effects for strong sterilization. It is expected to work. It is also effective in treating neuralgia, muscle pain, cysts, stiff shoulders, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, etc., and there are some methods that have been incorporated into modern medicine in Europe and the United States, focusing on this point. Currently, it is difficult to use live bees and their stingers as they are, and the bee venom is made into a unique injection solution.

Conventionally, in order to collect the bee venom from the bees, the bees are placed in a state of suspended animation under low temperature conditions, and the stingers at the bees' tails are pinched off using tweezers or the like, thereby removing the poison along with the stingers. Pull out the sac, soak it in clean water or alcohol solution, and then crush the previous sac,
It was collected by extracting the bee venom using a centrifuge or filter paper.

(Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention) However, in this conventional method, the work must be carried out manually, which not only is troublesome and requires a considerable amount of work time, but also causes problems in the bee venom solution. This caused a decrease in the activity of physiologically active substances and a decrease in the recovery rate.

Moreover, in this conventional method, the bee venom is contaminated with venom sacs and even the stingers, so it is difficult to purify the bee venom in order to prevent the purity of the bee venom from decreasing.

Furthermore, since loss of stingers leads to death of bees, this has been an obstacle to improving the productivity of bee liquid.

Therefore, the present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it is possible to collect bee venom efficiently and extremely easily, simplify the processing process, and achieve high purity. To collect bee venom, which makes it possible to obtain high-quality bee venom without reducing the quality of the bee venom, and furthermore, even if the bee venom is collected, the bees will not die as a result. The purpose is to provide equipment and collection methods.

(Means for solving the problem) To achieve this, in the present invention, as a result of intensive research, it was discovered that bees secrete bee venom even when subjected to electric shock, and this invention was utilized to apply electric shock. Many of them were created by inventing sampling devices and methods to achieve the desired purpose.

That is, the collection device is composed of a venom secretion section that causes bees to secrete their venom, and a collection section that is disposed below the venom secretion section and receives the secreted bee venom, and the venom secretion section includes:
It is formed of a plurality of conductive wires arranged in parallel with each other at appropriate intervals through an insulator as shown in FIG. It's wired so that it looks like this.

Then, a predetermined amount of magnetic current is passed through the plurality of conductive wires, and two wires having different poles are in contact with each other.

When bees touch the conductive wire at the same time, the bees
An electric shock is given to □ to cause it to secrete bee venom, and the secreted bee venom is received and collected at the collection section.

This is what I tried to do.

(Example) The present invention will be described below with reference to an illustrative embodiment.

A collects bee liquid from bee (worker bee) B □
It is a collection device for collecting bee venom on bee B.
□The venom secretion part 11 to be secreted and the venom secretion part 11
2 and a collecting section 12 which is disposed below the bee venom and receives the secreted bee venom.

The venom secretion ill is formed by a plurality of conductive wires 14 arranged in parallel at appropriate intervals between two opposing sides of the frame 13 framed by the loquat body, with appropriate intervals so as not to conduct electricity to each other. The conductive wires 14 are wired alternately to act as cathodes and anodes in order to give an electric shock to the bees.The distance between the conductive wires 14 is set so that the bees can It is sufficient that the interval is such that it touches both poles, and in the case of bees (worker bees), the body length.

Considering the body width, a spacing of around 68 cm is desirable.

The sampling portion 12ri, the sampling device 1 formed into a shallow bottom shape
5 and a receiving plate 16 formed of glass or resin material, the receiving plate 16 is arranged to be stored in the collector 15 while being overlapped with the Mfl secretion part 11. There is.

Next, a method for collecting bee venom sap using the collecting device fita will be explained.

Place the collector fiia at the east gate (the bee entrance) 2 of the hive H.
1, and a current is passed through the conductive wire 14. The current flowing through the conductive wire 14 may be either alternating current or direct current, and it is fine as long as the voltage is within a range that bees B can sufficiently sense, but if the voltage is too high, it will lead to death by electrocution. The voltage may be in the range of 1 to 200 V, although it may vary depending on the ampere, and the most desirable range is 5 to 50 V.

By doing so, when bees B enter or leave the hive H, they receive an electric shock when they stop on, walk on, or touch the conductive wire 14,
The electric shorts/to! It secretes bee venom. The secreted pure bee venom drops and adheres to the receiving plate 16 disposed below the venom secreting part 11.

To collect the bee venom 16 attached to the receiving plate 16,
Either wash the receiving plate 16 with distilled water or the like, or dry it together with the receiving plate 16 at a low temperature, and scrape it off with a spatula 31 or a thin-bladed knife.

In the above embodiment, the conductive wire 14 is made of an insulator and is arranged in the nine frames 13, but the present invention is not limited to this. You can. In this case, the receiving plate 16 is of a sliding type. Further, in the embodiment described above, the collecting section 12 is composed of the collecting device 15 and the receiving plate 16, but the receiving plate 16 may be omitted and the bee venom liquid is attached to the bottom of the collecting device 15. The structure is not limited as long as it can secrete bee venom by electric shock and collect the secreted bee venom.

Further, in the above embodiment, the collection of bee venom from honey bees has been described, but the invention is not limited to this, and by changing the interval and voltage of the conductive wires 14, the present invention can also be applied to the collection of bee venom from hornets, carpenter bees, etc. It is something that can be done.

(Effects of the present invention) As described above, according to the present invention, bees are made to secrete bee venom by electric shock and the venom is directly collected, so that pure bees of good quality without any impurities are collected. I was able to get the poison. Furthermore, according to the present invention, bee venom can be collected very easily and the processing steps can be simplified, so that it is possible to eliminate a decrease in the activity of physiologically active substances in the bee venom and a decrease in the recovery rate. Further, according to the present invention, bees are not killed, so the productivity of bee liquid can be improved.
