METHOD TO ACTIVATE MOTION ACTIVITY OF BEES AND DEVICE FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A01K47/00 A01K57/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to beekeeping. The proposed device for activation of motion activity of bees comprises a generator 1 of voltage pulses, a control unit 2, a potential electrode 3 and a grounded lead of the generator 1, a sensor of bees motion activity. The potential electrode is a system of sectioned wire empty honeycomb holders 5 of frames. Empty honeycomb holders 5 of each frame are connected to a potential or grounding leads of the generator 1 of voltage pulses via an individual dipole switch 6. The sensor of motion activity of bees is arranged in the form of a current sensor 7, connected to a grounded lead of the generator 1. The control unit 2 is arranged in the form of serially connected current sensor 7, amplifier 8, detector 9 and comparator 10, output of which is connected to a control inlet of the generator 1. The proposed method of motion activity activation for bees consists in periodical exposure of a beehive to uneven low-frequency electric field, configuration of heterogeneity in which is varied, combining field potentials equal in absolute value, but identical or opposite in sign. Control of field exposure modes is carried out depending on value of current leakage in the frame-to-frame space of a beehive.

EFFECT: increased efficiency of bees treatment, reduced voltage of the generator, reduced power consumption.
