Abstract

FIELD: apiculture, in particular, production of honey in traveling pavilions. SUBSTANCE: method involves working out route of honey production and places for laying out apiaries; setting nectar reserves and working out programs for computer to define bee time for transportation of bee families to honey production places in the direction from the South to the North and number of bee families depending on proposed honey production level at proposed honey production place. Method allows honey yield and pollination of agricultural crops to be provided. EFFECT: increased efficiency, wider capabilities and increased honey yield. 1 dwg

Description

 The invention relates to agriculture, in particular to beekeeping, and can find application in the production of honey, for example in pavilion beekeeping for the delivery of bee colonies for honey collection to the places where honey plants grow and for pollination of agricultural plants. In determining the level of technology, publicly available information was used, which was presented mainly in the patent fund, as well as in other sources of information.

 A known method of harvesting honey in the invention "Mobile apiary", adopted for the analogue (and.with. N 1655409 from 01.09.87 class. A01K 47/00). Harvesting honey with this method is as follows. When roaming, the mobile apiary is moved using its own engines, or another autonomous installation, for example, using a car, motorcycle, or using the muscular strength of a person. In the honey collection area, the winch is lowered to the ground and fixed with anchors. After that, the balloon is lowered by a winch to the height of the grass stand. The platform with hives is located at the bottom of the aerostatic shell, which protects the hives from rain and direct sunlight, and also creates an upward air flow on a sunny day, which improves the natural ventilation of the hives.

 However, this mobile apiary can be used to harvest honey only when wandering in areas with a road and with the muscular strength of a person, car or tractor and cannot be used for servicing honey lands not involved in the country's agricultural turnover, for example, in floodplains of taiga rivers, tundra, cutting areas, etc.

 There is also known a method of harvesting honey during pavilion beekeeping, adopted as a prototype based on the maintenance of bees in stationary and mobile pavilions, as well as the delivery of bee colonies to the places where honey plants grow and placement of apiaries there. Fast, multiple (up to 10 times) and relatively easy transfer of mobile pavilions allows better use of melliferous lands and more efficient pollination of crops, which increases their productivity (see Beekeeping. Encyclopedia. M. Soviet Encyclopedia, 1991, pp. 275-276 )

 However, this method of harvesting honey cannot again be applied in inaccessible regions that are not involved in the country's agricultural turnover, such as floodplains of taiga rivers, tundra, cutting areas, etc.

 The purpose of the invention is the increase of honey collection due to the procurement of honey in inaccessible regions that are not involved in the agricultural turnover of the country, for example, in floodplains of taiga rivers, tundra, cutting areas and other places.

 This is achieved due to the fact that according to the claimed method of harvesting honey in inaccessible regions, including the delivery of bee colonies to the places of honey production and placement of the apiary, in addition to the time of the delivery of the bee colonies to inaccessible regions to the places of honey production, they develop a route for harvesting honey with designation of the location of the apiary throughout the route, determine the duration of flowering of honey plants in apiary locations, establish nectar reserves, the collection and export dates of collected honey and each month and the placement of apiary and make computer program delivery to places of bee colonies apiary placement, with delivery in inaccessible regions are in the direction from south to north and affordable vehicles, depending on the placement of apiary locations Medoproduktivnost change the amount delivered to bee colonies.

 Comparative analysis shows that the inventive method of harvesting honey in inaccessible regions differs from the prototype in that until the delivery of bee colonies to inaccessible regions to the places of honey production, they develop a route for harvesting honey with designation of apiary locations along the entire route, determine the duration of flowering of honey plants in apiary locations , establish the stocks of nectar, the dates of collection and removal of collected honey and each apiary location, and make up a delivery program for bees for computers land to apiary locations, while the delivery of bee colonies to inaccessible regions is carried out from south to north by accessible vehicles and depending on the medical productivity of the location of the apiary, they change the number of bee colonies delivered there.

 Therefore, this technical solution meets the criterion of "novelty."

 Examining the prior art during a patent search on all types of known information, it was found that the claimed technical solution does not explicitly follow from the prior art, so we can conclude that the invention meets the criterion of "inventive step".

 The invention is industrially applicable, since it can be used in agriculture, in particular in beekeeping, because it solved a fundamentally new problem of using melliferous lands in remote areas that were not previously used for collecting honey.

 To implement this method, a universal complex for harvesting honey during pavilion beekeeping, which is shown in the drawing (general view), was made.

 The complex consists of a mobile apiary platform (PPP) 1 on wheels with beehives 2, each of which is equipped with a sensor 3 of the honey loading level, a control room 6 with transport for their removal, for example, helicopters, central control station 4 (CSB), on which a computer 5 is installed to lay in her a program for servicing mellow lands. CSB 4 has a connection with the control room 6, which is equipped with a tracking device 7 for the sensor 3 on the hives 2 to control the process of honey collection in the area. CSO 4 is connected with meteorological satellite 8, which determines, without contact at the beginning of flowering of honey plants (without human participation at the place of honey plant blooming), the beginning of honey collection in each of the given areas and transmits the corresponding signal to CSO 4, which, through computer 5, puts in the program the time for removal of IFR 1 s 2 hives for honey collection in specified areas.

 The proposed method of harvesting honey in inaccessible regions using the described universal complex is as follows.

 First, they develop a honey harvesting route and designate apiary locations along the entire route, starting from the south, where the honey plants begin to bloom first at the very beginning of summer, and with further advance to the north. Then, the duration of flowering of honey plants in apiary locations is determined, the nectar reserves are established, the dates of collection and removal of collected honey from each apiary location are compiled for computer 5 and a program for delivery of bee colonies to apiary locations is entered into it. After that, the bee colonies are delivered to inaccessible regions in the direction from south to north by affordable vehicles, moving there this entire universal complex along with BCP 1 with hives. At the same time, depending on the medical productivity of the apiary location, the number of bee colonies delivered there changes.

 The industrial usefulness of this method lies in the fact that a fundamentally new problem has been solved for the use of melliferous lands in hard-to-reach areas that were not previously involved in collecting honey.
