Description

BEEHIVE FEEDER
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a beehive housing and more particularly a beehive housing which allows both a convenient supply of feed and water and an easy movement and attention.
Background Art
Generally, the beehive housing is made of wood and contains beehive frames of rectangular shape, in which frames bees can build beehives with beeswax or the like. Inside the beehive housing there is arranged a feed trough to which a hose is connected to supply sugared water and plain water for bees, in preparation for the case that bees have hard time finding feed when flowers are not found or the outside temperature is very low for a natural condition. Such a feed trough was so constructed that sugared water and water may be sustainedly delivered to make a constant quantity with the help of a float, which was disposed inside the trough. However, because the feed trough so constructed takes much of the interior space of a beehive housing, the beehive frames come into interference with each other to make the layout of beehive frames difficult and separate connections of the individual hoses necessary, the hoses supplying sugared water in the feed troughs disposed at respective beehive housings, and entangling of hoses is also caused thereby, when the number of beehive housings is high, and so on, whereby there resulted a problem of difficulty in management. Summary of the Invention
The present invention is intended to resolve the above mentioned drawbacks by providing a beehive housing which is not only convenient in the ■ supply of water and feed but also handy in tending.
In accordance with the present invention having the above mentioned object, there is provided a beehive housing comprising a support, a case, placed on said support and provided internally with beehive frames in which bees can build beehives, a housing cover disposed on the top of said case, and a feed trough engaged with the under side of said support through an aperture formed in said support, said feed trough being provided with a float functioning to supply a constant amount of sugared water, which sugared water is introduced through an inlet pipe which extends to a feed supplying pipe connected to a feed supplying vessel, wherein said feed supplying pipes are mounted on one side of said feed troughs and interconnected, via hoses, to feed supplying pipes of feed troughs installed on other beehive housings, so that a supply of sugared water in said feed supplying vessel may enable uniformly distributed supply to all beehive housings.
' According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a beehive housing comprising a support, a case, placed on said support and provided internally with beehive frames in which bees can build beehives, a housing cover disposed on the top of said case, and a feed trough mounted within a wall of said case and so constructed as to allow the intake of sugared water by the bees entering an entrance formed in the wall, said feed trough being provided with a float functioning to supply a constant amount of sugared water, which sugared water is introduced through an inlet pipe which extends to a feed supplying pipe connected to a feed supplying vessel, wherein said feed supplying pipes are mounted at an outer surface of said case and interconnected, via hoses, to feed supplying pipes of feed troughs installed on other beehive housings, so that a supply of sugared water in said feed supplying vessel may enable uniformly distributed supply to all beehive housings.

Detailed Description of the Invention
The present invention is described below with reference to some embodiments in conjunction with the attached drawings.
Referring to Figure 1, which shows the outer appearance of the beehive housing 2 according to the first embodiment of the invention, includes a case 8 mounted on a support 4, the case being provided with a port 6 as an inlet or outlet for bees, and a cover 10 on the case. Inside the case 8, there are disposed a plurality of beehive frames 12 in which bees can build hives by using beeswax or the like.
Further, as shown in Figure 2 and 3, a feed trough 14 is mounted under the underside of the support 4 through an aperture 54 formed on the support 4. The feed trough 14 is made of synthetic resin and on one side of it there is provided a feed supplying pipe 24, connected to a feed supplying vessel 37 through a hose 35, to which pipe an inlet pipe 26 extends and provided with a float 18 at its end. By means of the arrangement as described above, when the sugared water is introduced in a quantity exceeding a certain limit through the inlet pipe 26, the float 18 is caused to float up, shutting off the end of the pipe 26 to prevent the further supplying. Therefore a constant supply of sugared water is always ensured. The sugared water so supplied flows into a feeding compartment 29, formed on the other side of feed trough 14, so that the bees can take the feed.
Inside the feed trough 14 there is arranged a supporting bridge 36 which is provided with irregularities on the top surface so that the bees may sit on there without any risk of being drowned. The feed trough 14 so constructed is desirably arranged in such a manner as to replace and save one housing leg 48 for supporting the support 4 due to its location under the under surface of the support 4, as depicted in the drawing, whereby substantial cost reduction in respect of material as well as compactness are achieved. However, for the purpose of possible mounting on a conventional beehive housing, having a pair of housing legs, a separate aperture may be formed through the under surface of the support 4, in which aperture a feed trough according to the invention is fitted.
The feed trough 14 is formed with a ventilating section 42 on its one side. This ventilating section 42 is formed by interrupting one side of the feeding compartment 29 and is formed with a number of ventilating perforations 44 on its top horizontal panel 56. Under the panel there is an draft cover 46, which may be opened or closed as required to ventilate the inside of the beehive housing 2 through the perforations 44.
Therefore, the provision of ventilating perforations serves the purpose of preventing the bees from suffocating because of air shortage or dying because of increased temperature, when moving the beehive housing 2, with the entrance 6, formed on the front face of the case 8, closed, which was often the case with the conventional beehive housings without ventilating provision. Furthermore, because there are many bees trying to steal honey during the flowerless season, the entrance 6 can be formed narrower and the ventilator is opened fully to ventilate the beehive housing 2, in order to preclude the intrusion of other bees and at the same time to prevent the bee diseases owing to the poor ventilation.
On the other hand, when ventilation is not needed, the above mentioned draft cover 46 is closed to seal the ventilating section 42. In addition, when beehive housing 2 is to be cleaned or parasites are to be exterminated, fumigant or spraying agent can be introduced through the above mentioned ventilating perforations 44 by opening the draft cover 46, in contrast to the conventional method wherein chemicals were injected through an opened housing cover 10, whereby advantages are realized according to the present invention in that noxious chemicals do not come in direct contact with the bodies of bees to ensure the protection of bees and contamination of honey due to the chemicals is prevented.
Accordingly, the beehive housing 2 constructed as mentioned above makes possible the advantageous arrangement as shown in Figure 4, wherein a plurality of beehive housings 2 are serially connected in a row and the feed supplying pipes 24 of the feed troughs 14 disposed in the respective beehive housings 2 are connected to the hose 35 and then one end of terminal pipe 24 is connected to the feed supplying vessel 37, whereby a simple supply of sugared water in the feed supplying vessel 37 enables a constant quantity of sugared water to be distributed to each beehive housing 2 simultaneously. Thus, it is possible to supply the sugared water to a beehive housing 2 with ease and also possible to keep the hose 35 for supplying food to a feed trough in trim order with ease. An easy management of a beehive housing 2 is possible by disassembling the feed trough 14 to be stored separately and assembling a housing leg 48 in place of the removed feed trough 14.
Now referring to Figures 5 and 6, which show another embodiment according to the invention, a feed trough 14 is fitted in a space formed in a wall 38 of the case 8. A feed supplying pipe 24, which is connected to the feed supplying vessel 37 via a hose 35, is now combined to the top face of the feed trough 14 formed protrudently and the pipe 24 has a branched inlet pipe 26, which extends inwardly through a part of the wall 38. The float 18 is disposed under the inlet pipe 26 to float up or down along a float guide 33 and functions to interrupt further inflow of the sugared water by closing the bottom part of the feed supplying pipe 24 following its rising travel when the sugared water is filled up to a predetermined level. Therefore, a supply of sugared water beyond a certain limit is prevented, maintaining the sugared water in the feed trough 14 always at a predetermined amount.
At that time, it is desirable that the above mentioned inlet pipe 26 and the feed supplying pipe 24 are formed integrally so that their combination is detachably installed on the feed trough 14. Thus, bees can enter an entrance 40 formed in the inner wall 38 to take the sugared water. A ventilating section 42 is here also formed on a part of the wall 38 as in the previous embodiment to ventilate the beehive housing 2 as required by opening or closing the draft cover 46.
As in the previous first example, it is preferable that a plurality of beehive housings 2 are serially connected in a row and the feed supplying pipes 24 of the feed troughs 14 disposed in the respective beehive housings 2 are connected to the hose 35 and then one end of terminal pipe 24 is connected to the feed supplying vessel 37, so that a simple supply of sugared water in the feed supplying vessel 37 may enable a constant quantity of sugared water to be distributed to each beehive housing 2 simultaneously. The beehive housing 2 constructed as mentioned above has the advantage that the space required to install the feed trough 14 can be reduced because it is situated within the wall 38 and an increased number of bees can be fed simultaneously because as many beehive troughs as desired may be installed without regard to sites.
The view shown in Figure 7 illustrates still other embodiment according to the present invention, in which a feed trough 14 is installed outside the wall 38 of the case 8. Such a feed trough 14 is mounted by fittingly inserting an entrance 40 formed protrudently at one side of the trough in a hole 52 formed in the wall 38. Accordingly the same feed trough can be easily installed on a conventional existing beehive housing having no receptible space formed in its wall by drilling a hole on a wall of the case and mounting a feed trough in the hole. This feed trough 14 can be secured on the case by using screws or nails if appropriate. And the bees can approach the sugared water in the feed trough 14 through the entrance 40 mentioned above. Furthermore, the present embodiment is particularly advantageous in the respect of easy cleaning of the feed trough, because the feed trough 14 can be easily detached due to the arrangement that the feed supplying pipe 24 for supplying feed to the feed trough 14 as well as the inlet pipe 26 are mounted on a trough cover 58, which is disposed on the top end of the feed trough.
Preferably the feed trough 14 and the wall 38 of the case 8 for mounting the feed trough 14 are made of synthetic resin in consideration of durability.
As seen in the embodiments discussed above, the present invention can provide a beehive housing which is adapted for a convenient supply of feed and water and an easy movement and management, mainly as the result of the feed trough being mounted on the support or on the wall of the case.
