ARRANGEMENT AND DEVICES FOR COLLECTING ROYAL JELLY AND SUPPLYING SYRUP TO BEES

摘要

system designed to collect royal jelly, store up syrup and supply this last to bees is disclosed herein. Said system is composed of a special tank resistant to pressure and sub-pressure and of a pump 6 (fig.1) sucking or providing air under pressure. The syrup is prepared into a common tank 1. The aforementioned pump extracts air from the special tank 3 connected to the syrup-containing tank, the content of which will be finally transferred to the first tank 3. Syrup is extracted by air underpressure applied to the special tank connected to a plastic pipe having at its end the nozzle 18 and transferring syrup to the suppliers of bees. After supply, the syrup remaining into the special tank is preserved upon extraction of air from same tank by the aforementioned pump. For the easy taking away of larvae, the wax extremities of the royal cells (fig. 2) are cut out with a razor (fig. 3) heated by an incorporated electric resistance. Then, the royal jelly is collected with the assistance of the pump producing sub-pressure to the special collection tank 20, the royal jelly being sucked therefrom by a sucking pipe ending with a specially-configurated nozzle (fig. 5).
