This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the harvesting of royal jelly. The method comprises the use of a first matrix of cell-like structures in an arrangement typical of normal worker bee cells which have interconnected plugs placed in the back of the matrix. A queen bee may then lay this matrix of cells with eggs. Upon the eggs turning into larvae, the plugs may be removed and the plugs are provided in interconnected sets such that each set provides plugs for each alternate cell in the first matrix of cells. These plugs may then be fitted to a second matrix of cells which provide larger, queen-like cells at a spacing of substantially the same as the alternate cells in the first matrix. The second matrix may then be placed in a queenless hive for the bees to fill the larger cells of the second matrix with royal jelly which may then be harvested.

The invention relates to a process for rearing bumblebee queens (genus Bombus) by generating a colony with workers in the presence of fertilised eggs and/of larvae, in a room with a controlled climate provided with food, and allowing the colony to grow until bumblebee queens are produced. The process constitutes a significant improvement in bumblebee. The invention also relates to a process for rearing bumblebees (genus Bombus).
摘要:
Accessories for apiculture for rearing queen cells (as example) are made of a solid homogenous mass comprising at least one synthetic polymer, preferably a homopolypropylene, and an effective amount of at least one kind of wax. An embodiment comprises honeycomb foundation units (1) with cavities (2) extruded from a mouldable composition comprising 90% by weight polypropylene copolymer and 10% by weight beeswax.
摘要:
Eine Kunststoffbienenwabe mit Mittelwand und beidseitigen Zellenwänden mit voller Zellenwandhöhe ist mehrteilig ausgebildet. Eine im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellte Mittelwand sowie getrennt hiervon im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellte Zellenwände sind miteinander verbunden. Der Durchmesser des Zellenraumes am Zellenboden ist größer als an der Zellenöffnung. Für die Königinnenzucht werden entsprechende Waben mit Mittelwand und damit lösbar verbundenen Zellenwänden auf einer Seite vorgesehen. Die einzelnen Zellen haben einen ganz oder teilweise auswechselbaren Zellenboden, z.B. ein vom Zellenboden getrenntes Verschlußglied.

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.
摘要:
The invention of a production device for queen bees and royal jelly comprises; a spawn-incubating unit (20) including spawn-incubating plates (21, 22), worker bee inlets (23) and a queen bee inlet (24) on the plates (21, 22), spawning holes (25) formed on a side of the inlets (23, 24) in which the queen bee can spawn, and feed chambers (32) formed as separate chambers at a side of the inner space (28) and communicating with the inner space (28) or formed on the inner side of the plates (21, 22) as a plurality of recesses, in which feeds such as pollen, water and sugar solution are supplied; a plurality of larva cell pieces (41) or a larva cell strip (40); and a production unit (50) which includes a plurality of queen houses (60) or a queen house strip (52).
摘要:
A bee nest (22) for use in an apparatus (20) for providing solitary bees for pollination comprises a portable on-site incubator (24). The bee nest can comprise a plurality of corrugated sheets (40), each sheet comprising a plurality of flutes. When the sheets are stacked together, the flutes form cavities (44) arranged in a tessellating pattern.

The invention relates to a cage (1) able to accommodate a queen bee when she needs to be temporarily separated from the nursery of the hive, comprising at least one wall having at least one inner portion constructed so as to perfectly reproduce the hexagonal cells (11) of a honeycomb.
