Detailed Description

The following is a further detailed description of the embodiments:

In the figure: the bee box cover 1, the relay box 2, the bottom box 3, the queen bee separating plate 4, the ventilation opening 5, the feeding well 6, the pollen collecting basket 7, the feeding nest 8, the pollen remover 9, the box bottom grid 10, the nest door 11, the nest 12, the collecting pipe 13 and the rocker 14.

This embodiment describes an intelligent beehive consisting essentially of a beehive cover 1, a relay box 2, a bottom box 3 as shown in fig. 1 and a base as shown in fig. 2. The trunk 2 serves as a main honey producing space, while the bottom case 3 serves as a bee spawning and brooding area. The nest 12 structure which is convenient for bees to store honey sources is arranged in the super 2. Meanwhile, the heat preservation and insulation layer and the ventilation opening 5 are respectively arranged in the relay box 2 and the bottom box 3 so as to regulate and maintain the stability of the temperature and the humidity in the box. These vents 5 not only keep the air in circulation, prevent moisture and overheating, but also can act as an access for bees if necessary.

Between the trunk 2 and the bottom case 3, a queen bee separating plate 4 is arranged, and the queen bee separating plate has the function of keeping queen bees in a spawning area, preventing the queen bees from entering a honey producing area, and being beneficial to managing the bee colony structure and the activities of bees. The base integrates pollen collecting equipment, feeding device, pollen removing device and nest door 11 as shown in figure 2. In this embodiment the pollen removing means is a pollen remover 9, the pollen remover 9 being designed to remove pollen from bees as they enter the hive, which pollen is then collected in a pollen collecting device, in this embodiment a pollen collecting basket 7. The bottom grid 10 keeps the bottom box 3 clean and sanitary, and the feeding device comprises a feeding well 6 and a feeding nest 8, sugar water is poured into the feeding nest 8, and bees eat the sugar water from the feeding nest 8. The hive door 11 can be sized to control the ingress and egress of bees, and the holes in the hive door 11 must be opened for handling during pollen removal.

The heating film adopts a net structure to be paved on the inner side wall of the bottom box 3 so as to heat the honeycomb when the climate is cold, thereby ensuring the comfort and health of bees. The honeycomb 12 in the honey producing area is made of edible PET material, ensures the purity and harmlessness of honey, and is subjected to high-temperature beeswax soaking treatment to improve the bee-philicity and durability. In the honey producing zone, the honeycomb 12 has a unique openable and closable hexagonal design, as shown in fig. 4, each hexagon is a separate honeycomb unit. When honey needs to be collected, worker bees store the honey in closed hexagonal cells. As shown in fig. 3, by operating the rocker 14 outside the hive, the odd numbered sheets of the honeycomb 12 are lifted or lowered, causing the hexagons to open and close, so that the honey flows out under the action of gravity and flows into the collection tube 13 through the dedicated channels, and the honey flows out along the collection tube 13, facilitating collection by the beekeepers. Through simplifying the honey collection process, the interference to bees is reduced, and meanwhile, the honey collection efficiency is improved. The rocker 14 is operated to make the adjustment of the internal structure of the honeycomb 12 intuitive and convenient, and the whole process does not need to destroy the living environment of bees or open the beehive cover, thereby providing safer and more natural conditions for bees and farmers.

The intelligent beehive in this embodiment also integrates various sensors for monitoring and managing the beehive status, as shown in fig. 5.

First, the top cameras, bottom sound sensors of the trunk 2 and the bottom case 3 work together to provide real-time visual and acoustic data.

When the camera is mounted inside the box 2, it can provide the beekeeper with direct and detailed information of the internal activities of the bees. For example, the camera can clearly capture the movement and working state of bees in the honeycomb, including the distribution of bees in the honeycomb, the construction and restoration of the honeycomb, the larva nursing condition of bees and the like. These are important information in assessing the health and activity status of the colony. For example, if the camera catches a stuck restoration of the hive, or the bee's larval care activity is reduced, this may indicate a problem with the health of the hive.

In addition, the internal camera can also provide the bee-farming with the direct visual angle of queen bee, makes the bee-farming monitor the state of queen bee better. The health and activity status of queen bees is critical for the reproduction and survival of the entire bee colony. For example, the camera can catch the moving condition of queen bee and the interaction condition of queen bee and worker bee. If the queen bee activity is reduced or the worker bees no longer surround the queen bee, it may indicate that a problem is occurring with the queen bee's health condition.

Therefore, through the monitoring of the internal camera, the bee farmer can not only acquire the whole activity and health state of the bee colony, but also monitor the health condition of the queen bee in real time, thereby better managing and protecting the bee colony.

The sound sensor can capture various sounds of the bee colony, including buzzes, abnormal sounds caused by insect pests, and abrupt sound changes caused by external threats. Sound spectrum analysis is an important function of sound sensors. By analyzing the frequency, intensity and pattern of sound, the sound sensor can predict the behaviour of the colony. For example, a particular frequency and pattern of sounds may indicate that a queen bee is laying eggs, while a different intensity of sound may indicate that a colony is performing defensive actions.

Acoustic sensors are also an important tool for the diagnosis of the health of the bee colony. A particular sound pattern may indicate the presence of a pest within the colony. For example, a sustained, low frequency hum may indicate that the colony is infested by parasites. By monitoring and analyzing the sounds in real time, the bee farmer can find the health problems of the bee colony in time and then take corresponding treatment measures. The acoustic sensor may also be part of an emergency response system. When the bee colony is threatened by the outside, such as the attack of other animals or the influence of bad weather, the sound sensor can instantly capture abnormal sound changes and then inform the beekeeper through the wireless network. In this way, the beekeeper can take timely measures to protect the bee colony according to the information provided by the sound sensor, such as strengthening the protection of the beehive or moving the beehive to a safe place.

In addition to this, the base of the beehive is equipped with a strain gauge pressure load cell. The strain type pressure weighing sensor is a high-precision sensor and can be used for accurately measuring the weight change of the beehive. This is very useful for monitoring the health of the colony and the production activities of the bees. Monitoring the weight of the beehive can help the beekeeper estimate the honey yield. As honey builds up, the weight of the beehive will gradually increase. By monitoring the increase in weight of the hives in real time, the beekeeper can know the bee yield and thus decide when to harvest the honey. On the other hand, a decrease in the weight of the hive may indicate a decrease in the number of bees or a massive death of bees. This provides the farmer with the opportunity to intervene and treat in time, preventing further loss of the swarm.

The environmental control is responsible for the SHT31 module consisting of the humidity sensitive and heat sensitive elements, and the temperature and humidity in the beehive can be monitored in real time. This is very important for maintaining the stability of the internal environment of the hive, as the survival and production activities of bees tend to be very sensitive to temperature and humidity. The SHT31 module sends the monitored temperature and humidity data to the control center in real time, so that a beekeeper can adjust the environment inside the beehive according to the real-time data, and the comfort level of the beehive is guaranteed.

The Beidou positioning chip of the bottom case 3 provides a precise position tracking function so as to prevent the beehive from being stolen or lost. The Beidou positioning chip is a receiver of the global satellite navigation system and can receive and process signals from the Beidou satellite system so as to accurately determine the geographic position of the beehive. The positioning function can help the beekeeper to quickly retrieve the beehive when the beehive is stolen or lost. The Beidou positioning chip works on the principle that the precise position of the beehive is determined by receiving signals of a plurality of satellites and then calculating the propagation time of the signals.

A wireless network module is a device that may connect to a wireless network, such as Wi-Fi or a mobile data network. In beehives, the main function of the wireless network module is to transmit the monitoring data inside the beehives to the mobile device or central monitoring system of the beehives in real time. This means that the beekeeper can obtain the status information of the beehive anywhere and anytime, including the weight of the beehive, the temperature and humidity of the interior, etc., as long as there is a network connection. This increases the efficiency of the beekeeper's work and also allows them to discover and solve problems in time that may affect the survival and reproduction of the bees.

The foregoing is merely exemplary of the present utility model, and specific technical solutions and/or features that are well known in the art have not been described in detail herein. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model, and these should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model, which does not affect the effect of the implementation of the present utility model and the practical applicability of the patent. The protection scope of the present utility model is subject to the content of the claims, and the description of the specific embodiments and the like in the specification can be used for explaining the content of the claims.
