RU2400060C1 - Modular-sectional bee-hive and swarm-catching extension - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to beekeeping. The proposed bee-hive includes a bottom, a roof, walls (the rear wall being dismountable), bee-hive frame cassettes, sectional doors, a tray, a detachable mesh ceiling, a pollen trap, sectional feeders, a working module and a swarm-catching extension. The bee-hive is divided into sections with guide angle bars having holes in their horizontal plane. The cassettes have fixture elements in the lower part of their side planks in the form of dovetail or any other connections. The upper planes of the bee-hive frame planks have slanted edges; the surface of the lateral sides of the side planks in their upper part is inward-concave. The fixture planks have saw-shaped notches on their outer sides edges. The working module is a box without a front wall, with a bottom slanted forward, a detachable roof, two detachable or non-detachable crosswise laths inside with their upper sides sharpened, pockets on the outer sides designed to accommodate the bee-hive frames with lids and a slit on the inner side. The pollen catcher is a box without a bottom, with a partly meshy roof, a hole in the front wall edged with a chest on the inside, an inner horizontal mesh partition and a pollen catching diaphragm and a chest with a mesh bottom thereunder with ribs on the rear side. The swarm-catching extension is a module similar to the basic bee-hive with mesh sectional doors or a mesh roof with a hole in the bottom.

EFFECT: invention enables convenience of work with bees and improves technological effectiveness of bee-hives manufacture and beekeeping.

Description

The invention relates to beekeeping.

The closest analogue of the hive is the auth. No. 215670 - has one case with cartridges. The disadvantage of this design is: limited living space for bees, inconvenience when working with bee colonies.

The proposed design of the hive helps to eliminate these disadvantages and increases the manufacturability of the hive and beekeeping.

This result is achieved in that the hive is divided by guide angles into sections, consists of a bottom, a roof, a front wall, a back detachable wall, side walls, sectional doors, cassettes of hive frames with fixing elements in the lower part of their side planks in the form of a dovetail or other types of locks that ensure the fastening of these frames with locking strips having mating parts of these locks, as well as a pallet, removable ceiling. The bottom has a retractable half of the central part, there is a hole with a plug anywhere in the roof, the removable ceiling is mesh, the guide angles have holes on the horizontal plane, the upper planes of the upper planks of the hive frames have bevels at the edges, the sides of the side planks of the hive frames in the upper parts have a concave inward surface. The locking strips have sawtooth notches at the edges of the outer sides. The hive is equipped with a working module in the form of a box without a front wall with a forward inclined bottom, a removable roof, two detachable or integral transverse rails inside with pointed upper sides, pockets on the outside for hive frames with lids and a slot on the inside, equipped with a sectional feeder in the form box divided into compartments for feed, floats, passage for bees, with a removable lid having holes with plugs, with ribs on the front and rear walls, equipped with a sectional dust collector in the form of a box, without bottom, with partially mesh roof, a hole on the front wall, bordered on the outside by a duct, an internal horizontal mesh partition and a dust collecting diaphragm with holes in it and a duct with a mesh bottom under it, with ribs on the back side. The hive includes a catcher extension in the form of a module-case, similar to the main hive, equipped with mesh sectional doors or a mesh roof with a hole in the bottom, a coaxial hole in the roof of the main hive, or a corresponding bottom-diaphragm with a hole in any place, the holes are closed with a blank or replaceable mesh plugs.

The proposed beehive consists of a main module (Figure 1) by auth. No. 2156570, in the roof of which there is an opening 1 with a plug 2. The bottom has a retractable half in the central part 3. Holes in the horizontal planes of the guide angles 4 eliminate stagnation of air above them, and a mesh removable ceiling 5 allows you to place dressing without contact with bees. An auxiliary module-casing is installed on the main module (Figure 2), which is a scavenger extension of a similar design, but with fewer sections, with a hole in the bottom 6, a coaxial hole 1 of the main module, closed with a blind plug 7 or a mesh plug 8 replacing it, and also equipped with additional mesh sectional doors 9, which are installed in the swivel extension for organizing good ventilation during the swarm period of the bee family. The hive frames (FIG. 3) have beveled edges of the upper planks 10, creating the necessary space between them and the guide corners to prevent bees from blocking it with wax, and the side planks have concave outer sides 11, increasing the useful area of the frames. Sawtooth notches (FIG. 3) at the ends of the outer sides of the fixing strips 12 facilitate reliable grip of the cartridge when removing it from the hive. For the convenience of working with bees, eliminating their scattering and the possibility of losing the uterus, a working module is used (Figure 4). It has the form of a box 13 with a removable roof 14 without a front wall and with an inclined bottom 15. Inside there are two transverse rails 16 with pointed upper sides, for mounting a cassette on them, when working with it. On the walls are mounted external pockets 17 for hive frames with covers 18 and slots 19 for passage of bees into the working module, which is installed in the base of the main module with the rear wall and the bottom sectional door removed.

After mastering the main module by bees, an auxiliary module is installed, into which swarm bees, free from work, pass. This delays the moment of swarming or prevents it, and also helps to capture the emerging swarm in it.

The hatching extension for beehives used in beekeeping (Figure 5) is a housing of the corresponding design 20, equipped with a detachable or non-removable bottom-diaphragm 21, which separates the extension from the main nest of bees, with an opening 22 in some place that allows bees to pass into this extension closed by a blind plug 23 or a mesh plug 24 replacing it and a mesh cover 25, by means of which ventilation is arranged in the housing.

To feed the bees, the hive is equipped with a sectional feeder-drinker (Fig. 6) in the form of a box 26 with a removable roof 27, which has openings 28 and caps for them 29, divided into compartments for feed 30, floats 31, bees passage 32. Mounted on the front and the rear walls of the ribs 33 prevent injury to bees. To collect pollen, the hive is equipped with a sectional dust collector (Fig. 7) in the form of a box without a bottom 34 with an opening 35 on the front wall, coaxial with the entrance of the hive and bordered on the outside by a duct 36, which has a horizontal mesh partition inside 37 that separates the bees from the duct with a mesh bottom collecting pollen 39, pollen collecting diaphragm with holes in it for the passage of bees. The dust collector cover has a mesh portion 40, and its rear wall has ribs 41 providing passage for the bees.
