Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such problems that: when using honeybees for pollination in order to cultivate farm products in a greenhouse, nest box(es) for honeybees has (have) been conventionally used in such a greenhouse; however, because food for honeybees is insufficient in the greenhouse, feeding must be done, but, with only that, nutrients for the bees are deviated, the bees are thus forced to be exhausted; besides, the feeding operation is costly and requires much labor; further, bees unnecessary for the purpose have been intruded in the greenhouse, and cannot escape therefrom, and many of them have died. <P>SOLUTION: The solution is such that: box(es) for honeybees is (are) installed outside of a greenhouse to ensure the honeybees to go to both of the greenhouse and the natural world; and only honeybees to aim taking honey and pollens in the greenhouse can enter it, the other bees, i.e. bees unnecessary for the greenhouse cannot enter it; that is, a channel joining the nest box(es) and the greenhouse each other is provided, being so designed that only bees necessary for the greenhouse can walk therethrough to it. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は温室栽培に必要な受粉用ミツバチに関わる装置である。  The present invention is an apparatus related to pollination bees necessary for greenhouse cultivation.

イチゴやメロンなどを温室栽培する場合、受粉用にミツバチを導入する必要がある。従来、温室内にミツバチの巣箱を置き、受粉に役立ててきた。  When growing strawberries, melons, etc. in the greenhouse, it is necessary to introduce bees for pollination. Traditionally, bee hives have been placed in greenhouses to help pollinate.

普通、１つの温室内には１０匹のミツバチがいれば十分であると言われている。  Usually, it is said that it is enough to have 10 bees in one greenhouse.

ところが１箱内にいるミツバチの数は５千ないし２万匹であり、１つの温室の受粉用にはそれほどの数のミツバチは必要としないし、また、それほどのミツバチが１つの温室内にいては食料不足をきたす。  However, the number of bees in a box is 5,000 to 20,000, so that a large number of bees are not needed for pollination in one greenhouse, and there are so many bees in one greenhouse. Causes food shortages.

食料不足を防ぐために、温室内では砂糖水による給餌が行われるが、その砂糖の購入費用、それを作る手間と時間はかなりのものである。  In order to prevent food shortages, sugar water is used in greenhouses, but the cost of purchasing the sugar, the time and effort to make it, are considerable.

ミツバチは砂糖水だけでは栄養が偏り、繁殖は困難である。それを避けるためにミツバチは温室の外に花蜜を求めて飛び出そうとするが、温室のビニールの天井にさえぎられるため多くが死亡し、蜂群は果実の収穫後までには消滅する場合が多い。  Bees are difficult to breed with sugar water because they are not balanced with nutrients. To avoid it, bees try to jump out for nectar outside the greenhouse, but many die because they are blocked by the vinyl ceiling of the greenhouse, and the bees often disappear by the time the fruit is harvested. .

そのため、温室で働かせるミツバチからは全くハチミツを収穫することはできない。  For this reason, honey cannot be harvested at all from bees working in the greenhouse.

発明が解決しようとする課題Problems to be solved by the invention

これを解決するためには、ミツバチを必要な数だけ温室の中で働かせ、他の大部分のミツバチは温室の外、すなわち自然界で集蜜できるようにすればよいのである。  To solve this, you need to work as many bees as you need in the greenhouse, so that most other bees can collect outside the greenhouse, that is, in nature.

課題を解決するための手段Means for solving the problem

そのためには、巣箱を温室の外に置き、一部のミツバチが温室の中に入れるようにし、他の大部分のミツバチは自然の中で働けるようにすればよい。  This can be done by placing the hive outside the greenhouse, allowing some bees to enter the greenhouse, and allowing most other bees to work in nature.

図１は、本発明を取り付けた巣箱を温室の側面に置いたときの位置を示す略図の平面図である。  FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view showing the position when the nest box to which the present invention is attached is placed on the side of a greenhouse.

（１）は温室、（２）はミツバチ巣箱、（３）は本発明の本体であるミツバチの通る筒状通路である。  (1) is a greenhouse, (2) is a beehive, and (3) is a cylindrical passage through which the bee which is the main body of the present invention passes.

巣箱（２）の巣門（出入り口）（４）を前面とすると、巣箱は温室（１）の壁に対して９０度横向きにして、温室の壁から１０センチほど離して設置し、本発明の筒状通路（３）を巣門から横方向に取り付け、その端は温室の中に入るようにする。  When the nest box (entrance / exit) (4) is the front face of the nest box (2), the nest box is placed 90 degrees sideways with respect to the wall of the greenhouse (1) and is placed about 10 cm away from the wall of the greenhouse. A cylindrical passageway (3) is attached laterally from the nest gate so that its end enters the greenhouse.

図２は図１の正面図である。ただし、巣箱（２）は側面から見ていることになる。  FIG. 2 is a front view of FIG. However, the birdhouse (2) is viewed from the side.

図３は本発明（３）を巣箱に取り付けた状態を示す正面図である。本発明の右端は温室の中に、ビニールの壁に開けられた穴を抜けて入っている。  FIG. 3 is a front view showing a state in which the present invention (3) is attached to the birdhouse. The right end of the present invention enters the greenhouse through a hole made in a vinyl wall.

ミツバチが温室内に行くには、本発明の、この筒状通路の中を３０センチないし４０センチ歩かなければならないように、その長さを設定する。  The length is set so that the honeybee must walk 30 to 40 centimeters in the cylindrical passage of the present invention in order to go into the greenhouse.

さらに、この筒状通路は巣門に接する部分は切り欠き、巣門をふさがないようにする。  In addition, this cylindrical passage is cut out at the portion that contacts the nest gate so as not to block the nest gate.

図４は図３の側面図である。（５）は筒状通路の切り欠き部分である。筒状通路（３）の全長は４０センチほどである。  FIG. 4 is a side view of FIG. (5) is a notch portion of the cylindrical passage. The total length of the cylindrical passage (3) is about 40 cm.

ミツバチが温室の中の花蜜や花粉を採る目的を持って入って行く場合は、仕事が終わると必ず巣箱に戻ってくるが、中には、温室を越えた先にある花蜜を採るために、温室を通り抜けようとして温室に入るのがいる。これらのハチはビニールの壁や天井にさえぎられ、そのまま体力を消耗して死ぬ場合が多い。  When a bee enters for the purpose of collecting nectar and pollen in the greenhouse, it always returns to the nest box after work, but in order to collect nectar beyond the greenhouse, There are those who enter the greenhouse trying to pass through the greenhouse. These bees are often blocked by vinyl walls and ceilings and often die as they are exhausted.

それを防ぐためには、温室に入るためには一定の距離を歩かせるようにすれば、ミツバチは歩くより飛ぶほうが楽なので、温室の中に用事のないハチは巣箱を出たらすぐ空中に飛び出し、温室に迷い込むことはなくなる。  To prevent it, if you walk a certain distance to enter the greenhouse, bees are easier to fly than walks, so bees that are not in the greenhouse jump out into the air as soon as they leave the hive, You won't get lost in the greenhouse.

同じ効果を実現するために別の方法を試してみたが、うまくゆかなかった。  I tried different ways to achieve the same effect, but it didn't work.

例えば、巣箱の前後に巣門を設け、後ろの巣門を温室の中に導いたが、そうすると、１日の日照の変化で温室内の温度が変わり、その度に温室内の空気の膨張、収縮で、空気が巣箱の中を通り抜けるので、巣箱内の空気を掻き乱し、幼虫を育てるのに必要な一定の温度を保つことができなくなる。  For example, a nest was provided before and after the nest box, and the back nest was led into the greenhouse. Then, the temperature in the greenhouse changed due to the change of sunlight in the day, and the expansion of the air in the greenhouse each time, Due to the contraction, air passes through the nest box, so that the air in the nest box is disturbed and the constant temperature necessary for raising the larvae cannot be maintained.

また、巣箱を温室内に設置してみたこともあるが、温室内の温度変化が自然界より激しいため、ミツバチは巣内の温度調整に苦労する。また温室内での農薬散布に際しては、いちいち巣箱を温室の外に出さなければならない。  I also tried installing a nest box in a greenhouse, but because the temperature change in the greenhouse is more severe than in nature, bees struggle to adjust the temperature in the nest. In addition, when spraying pesticides in the greenhouse, the birdhouse must be taken out of the greenhouse.

発明の効果The invention's effect

この、巣箱の外置き方式だと、温室内でのミツバチの消耗がほとんどないので、巣箱からハチミツが収穫できるし、繁殖も期待できる。  With this nest-box outside method, there is almost no consumption of bees in the greenhouse, so honey can be harvested from the nest-box and can be expected to breed.

給餌の必要がないので、砂糖の購入費用、砂糖水を作る手間と時間が不要になる。  Since there is no need for feeding, there is no need to purchase sugar, labor and time to make sugar water.

図３、図４に示すような、ミツバチが一定の歩く距離を持った筒状通路を図１、図２のように設置、取り付ける。  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a cylindrical passage having a certain walking distance for bees is installed and attached as shown in FIGS.
