Bee behavior observer and bee observation system

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of bee biological study and observation equipment, and particularly relates to a bee behavior observer and a bee observation system. According to the bee behavior observer, a rack can be inserted into and extracted from a beehive, at least one observation device is arranged in the rack in a rotatable manner; a cradle head is arranged on the rack in a rotatable manner; a second camera and a first camera are sequentially arranged on the cradle head from top to bottom, and are driven by the cradle head to rotate; and an infrared illumination system is arranged in the rack in a rotatable manner. The bee behavior observer is simple in structure and convenient to use, can be used for flexibly tracking behaviors of bees and effectively all-dimensionally observing the real living state of bees in the beehive. The main controller of the bee observation system is electrically connected with the bee behavior observer, so that the observing angle of the observation device in the bee behavior observer can be effectively regulated and controlled, the living condition of bees can be observed in real time, and images can be saved according to requirements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bee biology research and observation equipment, in particular to a bee behavior observer and a bee observation system. Background technique [0002] Honeybees are completely social model insects. They not only provide human beings with green, nutritious and healthy bee products such as honey and royal jelly, but more importantly, their pollination contributes to the increase in production and income of crops, fruits and vegetables, and their role in maintaining role in ecological diversity. To gain a comprehensive understanding of this important insect, scientists have been studying honeybees from different angles. However, there are still many gaps in bee biology that have not been filled. One of the important reasons is that we cannot truly and effectively monitor the natural living conditions of bees in beehives. [0003] The traditional bee observation box is a box with transparent materials on both...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] But these observation boxes all have insurmountable drawbacks

First of all, honey bees are completely social insects, and individuals in the bee colony have different divisions of labor. Just putting one or a few honeycombs into the observation box cannot truthfully reflect the real living conditions of bees; in addition, the perception of bees The system is very sensitive, and the bees placed in the observation box are easily disturbed by the outside world, such as light, smell, etc. The environment of the bee colony is dark, and the observation box is generally under natural light

Bees also need a period of time to adapt to the smell of unfamiliar environments; finally, due to space constraints, bees are temporarily confined in the observation box when being observed, and it is impossible to achieve long-term observation
