摘要:
The device for controlling the queen bees' egg-laying process (7) will detect the queen bee previously marked by light reactive pigments by a sensor (1) corresponding to the marking method and connected to a control unit, which, upon detection, will operate moving gates (3) connected to the device (7) by starting an engine. The device (7) with its side walls can directly be fitted to the comb (17) and the detection zone (2) of the sensor (1) will fall within the seam (16) flanked by the walls. The marked queen bee will get to the device (7) unchecked and when detected, the moving gates (3) will close and prevent the queen bee from getting out of the gates (3). Since after the gates (3) close, the space available for the queen bee is limited, the queen bee will shortly be forced to leave the device (7) in the predetermined direction of guiding (11) through the opening (8). The device also includes a (7) fence (12) and a dividing wall (10) that partly or fully include a queen excluder and keep the queen bee confined for the required period while the fence (12) and the dividing wall (10) will not prevent workers from passing through.

1. A beekeeping device (1) suitable for comprehensively managing the whole swarming process of honey bees, for detecting swarming and capturing swarms, further dividing the parent colony after swarming, and also for preventing further swarming, which device is made of metal, wood, plastic or their combination, can be mounted on the hive and easily detached from it (1), which device includes at least one queen trap (4) and at least one moving gate (7) and worker bees can constantly pass through the entrances (2) of the device (1), but upon swarming, the queen cannot leave the device (1) through its entrances (2), characterised by that the device (1), with its at least one integrated sensor (5), can detect the swarming-specific accumulation of bees on and about the queen trap (4) or the presence of the formerly marked queen, whose marking is matched to the sensor (5) in the device (1), by that there is a control unit (6) in the device (1) that is connected to the sensor (5) and will put the moving gate (7) into operation upon the detection of swarming and prevent the swarming bees from returning into the hive by operating the moving gate, by that the device (1) will open the dividing tunnel (12), integrated in the device (1) and closed down until swarming, for the bees wishing to leave the hive, and the dividing tunnel (12) integrated in the device (1) will guide the bees after swarming to the outlet of the dividing tunnel (15) placed at a considerable distance from the entrances (2), by that by modifying the geometry of the outlet of the dividing tunnel (15), the bees entering the device (1) from the hive that instinctively orient themselves towards the outlet of the dividing tunnel (15) after swarming can be divided repeatedly, and this division can be continued as long as the parent colony abandons its swarming impulse.

The present invention refers to a bee frame (1) comprising a frame (10) with tabs (111, 112) and a comb base (16) fixed in the inside of the frame (10), wherein the frame (10) is divided into two frame parts (10', 10'') along a central symmetry plane (T) parallel with the main plane of the frame (10), and comb bases are fixed (16', 16'') in the inside of the individual frame parts (10', 10'') and the two frame parts (10', 10'') containing the respective comb bases (16', 16'') can be closely joined to each other and can be separated from each other along the opposing surfaces of the two frame parts (10', 10'').
