Embodiment 1

[0037] The controlled-release device is a low-density polyethylene zipper pouch with a wall thickness of 0.5mm and a size of 2.5*1cm. Each sachet contains 500mg of pollinator bee attractant and these sachets are closed with a zipper which is further heat sealed. Weighed weekly for 42 days, the release rates of individual components and combinations were measured at room temperature (18°C to 23°C).

[0038] Table 1 Release Rate mg / sachet / week

[0039]

[0040] The results showed that the system could simultaneously release geraniol and 2-phenylethanol. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are other methods of achieving controlled release of these compounds and mixtures, such as wax matrices, squeeze-sealed polyethylene tubing, and bottles made of other suitable polymers such as plasticized polyvinyl chloride, which Can also be used as a controlled release system.

Embodiment 2

[0042] Aiming at different attractant combinations, compare their ability to attract wall bees on fruit trees (apple).

[0043] With the attractant described in the embodiment 1 of 500mg, every tree hangs a pouch, and the pouch is with embodiment 1, and the pouch of every kind of mixture hangs 10 trees. Trees chosen for experiments should be equidistant from the wasp nests placed by fruit growers. The apple orchards used for the experiment had negligible numbers of bees as well as artificially released wall bees.

[0044] The observer selected 5 trees among the trees treated with five volatile compounds (50 minutes for each treatment), marked 10 clusters of flowers on the north and south sides respectively, and recorded the number of flower visits by the wall bees within 1 minute. No attractants were hung on the trees of the control group.

[0045] The results are shown in Table 2.

[0048] It can be seen from Table 2 that all the experimental ...

Embodiment 3

[0050] To compare the fruit set rate of apple trees in orchards releasing the wall bee for different attractant combinations. The apple orchards used for the experiment had negligible numbers of bees as well as artificially released wall bees. The observer selects 10 clusters of flowers on the branches of the north side and the south side of 5 trees in the trees treated by five kinds of volatiles described in embodiment 2, and counts the high-quality fruit quantity (the diameter is greater than 20mm and counts as high-quality fruit).

[0051] The results are shown in Table 3.

[0052] Table 3 The number of high-quality fruit per 10 flower clusters of apples pollinated by wall bees

[0053]

[0054]

[0055] The percentage of good fruit was significantly higher in the treated trees, especially in the trees treated with the 50:50 mixture.

Abstract

The invention provides a pollinator bee attractant, a use method and application thereof. The attractant contains 2-phenylethyl alcohol, and the pollinator bee attractant is packed into a plastic controlled-release device during use. The pollinator bee attractant of the present invention is used to enhance crop pollination in a controlled-release device. When used in a controlled-release device, it can increase the activity of pollinator bees and increase the fruit setting rate. For fruit growers who use bee pollination, it is beneficial to improve Pollination rate, to achieve the purpose of increasing fruit setting rate, increasing yield and improving quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bee pollination, in particular to a pollinator bee attractant, a use method and its application in the pollination of bees, bumblebees and European honeybees. Background technique [0002] Most flowering plants require bees to pollinate them, and if the flowers are not pollinated, the seeds will not be fertilized and fruit will not form. In the absence of insect pollination, it is necessary for farmers to use paint brushes for pollination. This practice, which has become common in northern China, is labor-intensive, costly and inefficient compared with insect pollinators. [0003] There are many kinds of bees, which can be roughly divided into pollinator bees and non-pollinator bees, among which pollinator bees include honeybees, European bees, bumble bees, wall bees, etc. Most of them visit flowers mainly to produce honey and beeswax, and by the way complete Pollination work, and the wall bees among th...
