METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING AND GRAFTING BEE LARVA, AND LARVA GRAFTING MACHINE

摘要

A larva grafting machine, comprising a larva grafting manipulator, a honeycomb stepper mechanism, and a queen cup bar feeder. The grafting manipulator comprises a larva grafting mechanism (1b) and a detection device. The larva grafting mechanism comprises a larva grafting needle and an installation block. The larva grafting machine performs automatic feeding of a honeycomb by means of the honeycomb stepper mechanism (3d), thereby facilitating bee larva pickup over the entire honeycomb, and increasing the level of automation. Further provided is a method for identifying and grafting a bee larva, wherein the detection device of the larva grafting machine detects whether there is a bee larva in a cell of a honeycomb, and the larva grafting mechanism (1b) of the larva grafting machine performs grafting on a detected bee larva. The color of a cell of a honeycomb is used to determine the presence of a bee larva in the cell, thereby improving the accuracy of grafting.
