Campo de la invención: Field of the invention:

La invención se relaciona con un sistema de dispersión de agentes o sustancias a través de vectores biológicos, preferentemente utilizados para la apicultura y más concretamente con la operación de los dispositivos para la lucha contra parásitos en colmenas. Adicionalmente este dispositivo permite utilizar a las abejas como medio de dispersión de sustancias benéficas por la actividad polinizadora, lo que hace aun más eficiente este sistema inventado. Estado del Arte. The invention relates to a system of dispersion of agents or substances through biological vectors, preferably used for beekeeping and more specifically with the operation of devices for the fight against parasites in hives. Additionally, this device allows bees to be used as a means of dispersing beneficial substances through pollination activity, which makes this invented system even more efficient. State of the art.

Las colmenas, unidad básica de la producción apícola, se clasifican en dos tipos: i) Rústicas, cuya característica fundamental es la de poseer panales fijos y ii) Modernas, que son todas aquellas construidas sobre la base de marcos o panales y alzas removibles. En esta categoría se inscriben las de tipo Dadant y Langstroth. Estas unidades están compuestas por un piso, cámara de cría y una segunda unidad llamada alza y techo. Beehives, the basic unit of beekeeping production, are classified into two types: i) Rustic, whose fundamental characteristic is to have fixed honeycombs and ii) Modern, which are all those built on the basis of frames or combs and removable rises. The Dadant and Langstroth type are included in this category. These units are composed of a floor, a breeding chamber and a second unit called a roof and ceiling.

En la base de la colmena se encuentra la abertura de entrada o salida de las abejas, conocida como piquera, la cual lleva un tablero de vuelo, que es una pequeña superficie que sirve para poder cerrar la piquera en los transportes de las colmenas, y para poder facilitar el despegue y aterrizaje de las abejas cuando se encuentra abierta. Después de realizar la labor de pecoreo de néctar y polen, las abejas regresan a la colmena utilizando el mismo lugar de la piquera por el cual salieron sin diferenciar una zona de entrada y de salida. At the base of the hive is the entrance to or exit from the bees, known as a piquera, which has a flight board, which is a small surface that can be used to close the piquera in the transport of the hives, and to facilitate the takeoff and landing of bees when it is open. After performing the work of nectar and pollen pecoreo, the bees return to the hive using the same place of the pike through which they left without differentiating an entry and exit zone.

En los últimos años numerosos trabajos a nivel mundial han sido publicados reportando el uso de abejas como agentes dispersores de enemigos naturales o controladores biológicos de enfermedades en flores, los cuales están basados principalmente en la eficacia de las abejas como agentes polinizadores y vectores de organismos benéficos. (Escande er a/., 2002). In recent years numerous works worldwide have been published reporting the use of bees as dispersing agents of natural enemies or biological controllers of flower diseases, which are mainly based on the effectiveness of bees as pollinating agents and vectors of beneficial organisms . (Escande er a /., 2002).

i Peng et al. (1992) señala que la densidad deinóculos del hongo antagonista de enfermedades Gliocladium roseum sobre las flores, aumenta considerablemente cuando se utilizan abejas para su dispersión, en relación a cuando se realizanaplicaciones de soluciones liquidas, logrando una disminución de hasta 60% de incidencia del hongo causante de pudrición gris Botrytis cinérea. Trabajos efectuados por Kovach et al. (2000) indican una efectividad del control de pudrición gris (β. cinérea) en frutilla, similar a la lograda por fungicidas químicos cuando se utiliza la diseminación de su enemigo natural Trichoderma harzianum con abejas, pero además, las frutillas colectadas de los tratamientos que incluían la visita de abejas lograron un 22% más de semillas y un peso de 40% más de los frutos que los obtenidos de cultivos sin colmenas. i Peng et al. (1992) points out that the deinculi density of the antagonistic fungus of Gliocladium roseum diseases on flowers, increases considerably when bees are used for dispersion, in relation to when liquid solution applications are made, achieving a decrease of up to 60% incidence of the fungus Cause of gray rot Botrytis cinerea. Works carried out by Kovach et al. (2000) indicate an effectiveness of the control of gray rot (β. Cinérea) in strawberry, similar to that achieved by chemical fungicides when the dissemination of their natural enemy Trichoderma harzianum with bees is used, but also, the strawberries collected from the treatments that they included the visit of bees achieved 22% more seeds and a weight of 40% more of the fruits than those obtained from crops without hives.

Escande et al., (2002), mencionan un 80% de reducción de podredumbre en las maravillas producidas por el hongo Sclerotinia sclerotiorum utilizando la dispersión del hongo antagonista Trichoderma harzianum por abejas, las cuales eran capaces de remover 100 gr de Tnchoderma por día. Estudios realizados por Dedej et al. (2004) señalan varios aspectos importantes de la interacción producida entre las abejas, con el hongo que afecta las flores de arándano, Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi y la bacteria antagonista Bacillus subtilis sobre el cultivo, destacando la habilidad de las abejas de adquirir formulaciones comerciales del agente biocontrolador y trasladarlo a las flores abiertas de Blueberry además de una relación positiva entre la actividad de las abejas y la densidad de la población del agente de control (B. subtilis) sobre los estigmas de las flores, señalando que 10 abejas requirieron un periodo de 2 minutos para alcanzar la máxima capacidad de B. subtilis en los estigmas, produciendo una significativa reducción de frutos afectados por M. vaccinii-corymbosi. Escande et al., (2002), mention an 80% reduction in rot in the wonders produced by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum using the dispersion of the antagonistic fungus Trichoderma harzianum by bees, which were able to remove 100 gr of Tnchoderma per day. Studies conducted by Dedej et al. (2004) point out several important aspects of the interaction between bees, with the fungus that affects cranberry flowers, Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi and the antagonistic bacterium Bacillus subtilis on the crop, highlighting the ability of bees to acquire commercial formulations of biocontroller agent and transfer it to the open Blueberry flowers in addition to a positive relationship between the activity of the bees and the population density of the control agent (B. subtilis) on the stigmas of the flowers, noting that 10 bees required a period 2 minutes to reach the maximum capacity of B. subtilis in stigmas, producing a significant reduction of fruits affected by M. vaccinii-corymbosi.

Otros reportes también destacan a las abejas como vectores de organismos entomopatógenos. Tal es el caso de Jyoti and Brewer (1999) quienes señalan la dispersión por abejas de Bacillus thuríngiensis como controlador de la polilla del girasol (Cochylis hospes) produciendo una mortalidad importante de larvas además de un aumento en la producción de semilla. Gross et al., (1994) demostraron que las abejas son capaces de acarrear en sus cuerpos formulaciones del virus de la polihedrosis nuclear para el control de larvas de la polilla Heliothis, logrando una muy buena propagación del entomopatógeno sobre flores de Trébol. Butt et al., 1998, encontraron que la actividad de forrajeo de las abejas de una colmena equipada con un dispensador de inoculo del Hongo entomopatógeno Metaiiiizium anisopliae favorece la entrega efectiva de esporas del hongo en las flores de oleaginosas, disminuyendo con ello el ataque del escarabajo del polen Meligethes aeneus (Fab.), logrando una mortalidad de 61% en invierno y 100% en primavera, sin encontrar efectos adversos sobre las colmenas. Other reports also highlight bees as vectors of entomopathogenic organisms. Such is the case of Jyoti and Brewer (1999) who point out the dispersion by bees of Bacillus thuríngiensis as controller of the sunflower moth (Cochylis hospes) producing an important mortality of larvae in addition to an increase in seed production. Gross et al., (1994) demonstrated that bees are capable of carrying in their bodies nuclear polyhedrosis virus formulations for the control of larvae of the Heliothis moth, achieving a very good spread of entomopathogen over Clover flowers. Butt et al., 1998, found that the activity of foraging bees from a hive equipped with an inoculum dispenser of the entomopathogenic fungus Metaiiiizium anisopliae favors the effective delivery of spores of the fungus in the oilseed flowers, thereby reducing the attack of the Meligethes aeneus pollen beetle (Fab .), achieving a mortality of 61% in winter and 100% in spring, without finding adverse effects on hives.

A pesar de los buenos resultados mencionados en estos estudios, no existe en el arte patentes que señalen la aplicación de un controlador biológico a través de dispositivos para tales efectos en colmenas. Despite the good results mentioned in these studies, there are no patents in the art that indicate the application of a biological controller through devices for such purposes in hives.

Existe un problema contingente en el arte, ya que se han producido pérdidas de productos por la introducción innecesaria del agente de biocontrol en la colmena, por arrastre hacia el agente al exterior, por falta de protección contra la radiación UV, viento y humedad o bien, se han utilizado dispositivos de distribución de diseño complicado, difíciles de utilizar y muy grandes lo cual dificulta su ubicación en la colmena. There is a contingent problem in the art, since there have been losses of products due to the unnecessary introduction of the biocontrol agent into the hive, by dragging to the agent abroad, due to lack of protection against UV radiation, wind and humidity or , distribution devices of complicated design, difficult to use and very large have been used which hinders their location in the hive.

Para utilizar a las abejas como vectores de productos para el control de enfermedades en las flores mientras realizan la labor de pecoreo de néctar y polen, se requiere de un dispositivo de aplicación que sea manejable, liviano, fácil de utilizar y limpiar, que permita una buena ventilación en la colmena, que sea seguro para las abejas y permita la utilización de dispensadores que otorguen protección al producto que se desea aplicar, todos estos problemas del arte han sido superadas con esta invención. To use bees as vectors of products for the control of diseases in flowers while performing the work of nectar and pollen pecoreo, an application device is required that is manageable, light, easy to use and clean, allowing a Good ventilation in the hive, which is safe for bees and allows the use of dispensers that provide protection to the product to be applied, all these art problems have been overcome with this invention.

A diferencia de la Presente invención, que presenta una forma distintiva, es útil en orientar el tráfico de los insectos, por lo que la novedad de la presente invención no se ve comprometida. Además, la iniciativa norteamericana no divulga un uso o la distribución de agentes polinizadores y/o biocontroladores, por lo que la presente invención no se compromete por la existencia de la iniciativa estadounidense. The initiatives are different, since the present invention is a piquera that prevents infection and also allows the introduction of beneficial substances for bees, in addition to the dispersion of biological control agents. The preferred use claimed in the US application is to avoid varroasis. Unlike the The present invention, which presents a distinctive form, is useful in guiding insect traffic, so that the novelty of the present invention is not compromised. In addition, the North American initiative does not disclose a use or distribution of pollinating agents and / or biocontrollers, so the present invention is not committed to the existence of the American initiative.

Descripción de la Invención. Description of the Invention

El objetivo de la invención es proveer un dispositivo que permita mantener y/o mejorar las condiciones de higiene de la colonia, a través de la distribución de substancias desde y hacia la misma, además uno de los propósitos de la invención es proveer una herramienta que logre la distribución de sustancias biocontroladoras benéficas para el tratamiento de plagas en las inmediaciones de la colmena. Como resultado de la utilización de este dispositivo, se consigue un rendimiento extraordinario en predios de plantas con flores de interés económico, además de ser un sistema de fácil montaje y bajo coste con resultados de sorprendente especificidad. The objective of the invention is to provide a device that allows to maintain and / or improve the hygiene conditions of the colony, through the distribution of substances to and from it, in addition one of the purposes of the invention is to provide a tool that achieve the distribution of beneficial biocontroller substances for the treatment of pests in the immediate vicinity of the hive. As a result of the use of this device, extraordinary performance is achieved in land of flowering plants of economic interest, in addition to being a system of easy assembly and low cost with surprising specificity results.

En el estado de la técnica no se han divulgado dispositivos como los de la presente invención, sino que son dispositivos aislados o dispuestos interiormente en el panal, los cuales han subsanado en parte el problema de liberar sustancias efectivas, pero de alcance limitado y/o no discriminatorio, es decir, no cuentan con la tecnología suficiente para resguardar la integridad de los organismos que allí habitan. Ahora, con la presente invención se puede utilizar substancias y/o agentes en forma diferenciada, es decir, sustancias específicas para los individuos que entren o salgan de la colmena en forma diferenciada, consecuentemente con diferentes propósitos. Devices such as those of the present invention have not been disclosed in the state of the art, but are devices isolated or disposed internally in the honeycomb, which have partially overcome the problem of releasing effective substances, but of limited scope and / or Non-discriminatory, that is, they do not have enough technology to protect the integrity of the organisms that live there. Now, with the present invention substances and / or agents can be used in a differentiated manner, that is, specific substances for individuals entering or leaving the hive in a differentiated manner, consequently for different purposes.

En el estado de la técnica existen innumerables problemas. A modo de ejemplo podemos citar algunos de los más importantes: parásitos de las colmenas, baja producción de predios por problemas de sanidad hortofrutícola debido a parásitos de plantas y/o árboles, o baja tasa de polinización por carecer de agentes biológicos o bien en poca cantidad de éstos. Otros problemas que subyacen son la existencia de sustancias que no se presentan como especie específicas, o los dispositivos existentes no son fáciles de utilizar y/o limpiar, o bien dispositivos que son de limitada adaptabilidad. Otro problema se relaciona con los dispensadores, ya que en el arte existen dispensadores que no otorgan protección al producto que se desea aplicar, o s bien son demasiado masivos y con ello no permiten una buena ventilación del panal, además que los dispositivos existentes no son manejables y poquísimos liviano en peso. Como consecuencia de éstos problemas se reduce la producción de frutos por hectárea de cultivo disponible, o baja la productividad de miel. In the state of the art there are innumerable problems. As an example we can mention some of the most important: parasites of the hives, low production of land due to problems of fruit and vegetable health due to parasites of plants and / or trees, or low pollination rate due to lack of biological agents or in a short time amount of these. Other underlying problems are the existence of substances that are not presented as specific species, or existing devices are not easy to use and / or clean, or devices that are of limited adaptability. Another problem is related to dispensers, since in the art there are dispensers that do not grant protection to the product to be applied, well they are too massive and with that they do not allow a good ventilation of the honeycomb, in addition that the existing devices are not manageable and very light in weight. As a consequence of these problems, the production of fruits per hectare of available crop is reduced, or the productivity of honey decreases.

Los dispositivos del arte para limitar los parásitos tienen el gran inconveniente en cuanto a su configuración, ya que, o presentan un alto coste de fabricación, o bien su mantención es dificultosa, y/o limitaciones en la generación del dispositivo o de su trabajo muy deficiente o reducido espectro, generalmente de alto coste y desechables. The devices of the art to limit the parasites have the great inconvenience in terms of their configuration, since, or they have a high manufacturing cost, or their maintenance is difficult, and / or limitations in the generation of the device or its work very poor or reduced spectrum, generally high cost and disposable.

Otro problema que subyace en el arte, es el modo de fijación y operación de los dispositivos para controlar los parásitos existentes, los que no se adaptan fácilmente a las colmenas, restringen la actividad de la colonia y en general en la organización de la familia de abejas, además de su construcción práctica, que se debe recurrir a herramientas especiales, lo que conlleva a una industrialización limitada. Another problem that underlies the art is the way of fixing and operating the devices to control existing parasites, those that do not easily adapt to hives, restrict the activity of the colony and in general in the organization of the family of Bees, in addition to their practical construction, that special tools must be used, which leads to limited industrialization.

En el caso de los dispositivos y sistemas existentes para ser utilizados como biocontroladores, son muy limitados los ejemplos, los que comúnmente presentan el gran inconveniente que son de aplicación extremadamente especializada, sólo siendo especie específicos, muy poco versátiles o de gran tamaño, siendo dificultosos de limpiar y normalmente no protegen al producto, solo se lo dispone en él. Ahora con la presente invención se supera la clásica problemática de los sistemas y dispositivos para biocontroladores especie- específicos de manera muy fácil e industrializable. La presente invención resuelve éstos y otros problemas aun no previstos en dispositivos similares utilizados cotidianamente en el arte. En efecto, como resultado de la aplicación de este sistema se aumenta la productividad de la colmena, se mejora la calidad y el estatus fitosanitarrio, no tan solo de las abejas, sino que del predio. En todas sus formas preferidas de realización, este sistema es de bajo coste de producción, además de presentar una gran facilidad de industrialización, con materiales cotidianos, ya que puede ser fabricado desde cartón a metal, o bien materiales orgánicos o sintéticos. Otra ventajosa cualidad de la presente invención es que al no estar emplazado dentro de la colmena, no atenta con el normal desarrollo y las actividades dentro de esta. Su disposición y organización interna, permite una favorable ubicación, ya que también logra organizar el tránsito de las abejas, así se puede discriminar los individuos y las sustancias aplicadas a los individuos que transitan hacia dentro o fuera de la colmena. Descripción de las figuras: In the case of existing devices and systems to be used as biocontrollers, the examples are very limited, which commonly present the great inconvenience that are extremely specialized, only being specific species, very little versatile or large, being difficult to clean and normally do not protect the product, it is only available in it. Now with the present invention, the classic problem of systems and devices for species-specific biocontrollers is overcome in a very easy and industrializable way. The present invention solves these and other problems not yet foreseen in similar devices used daily in the art. Indeed, as a result of the application of this system, the productivity of the hive is increased, the quality and phytosanitary status is improved, not only of the bees, but also of the property. In all of its preferred embodiments, this system is of low production cost, in addition to presenting a great ease of industrialization, with everyday materials, since it can be manufactured from cardboard to metal, or organic or synthetic materials. Another advantageous quality of the present invention is that since it is not located within the hive, it does not attempt normal development and activities within it. Its disposition and internal organization, allows a favorable location, since it also manages to organize the transit of bees, so that individuals and substances applied to individuals who move in or out of the hive can be discriminated.

Descripción detallada de la invención. Detailed description of the invention.

La invención consiste en un sistema para perfeccionar una colmena o sistemas apícolas, que consta de un dispensador de microorganismos, el cual permite orientar a los individuos, discriminando la entrada y la salida de las abejas, evitando con ello el ingreso innecesario en la colmena del agente de control biológico o de cualquier producto que se requiera distribuir sobre las plantas con flores, permitiendo sólo el paso a la colmena las sustancias protectoras para el panal. En efecto, gracias a su especial estructura el dispositivo de la presente invención está concebido para ser utilizado en cualquier tipo de colmenas o aparatos que permitan labores apícolas o similares. La presente invención permite la dispersión de agentes de hongos, ácaros y otros organismos nocivos para el panal, en donde se implementa el dispositivo fuera del panal. A la vez, también la presente invención es un eficiente sistema de dispersión de sustancias o agentes controladores de plagas agrícolas, o bien mejorando la polinización de plantas con flores. The invention consists of a system to improve a beehive or apicultural systems, which consists of a microorganism dispenser, which allows to guide individuals, discriminating the entry and exit of bees, thereby avoiding unnecessary entry into the hive of the biological control agent or any product that is required to distribute on flowering plants, allowing only the protective substances for the honeycomb to enter the hive. In fact, thanks to its special structure, the device of the present invention is designed to be used in any type of hives or devices that allow beekeeping or similar work. The present invention allows the dispersion of fungal agents, mites and other organisms harmful to the honeycomb, where the device is implemented outside the honeycomb. At the same time, the present invention is also an efficient system for dispersion of substances or agents controlling agricultural pests, or improving pollination of flowering plants.

La presente invención es un dispositivo que puede ser acoplado a la piquera de un panal y permite que las abejas utilicen una vía de entrada diferente a la que usan para salir. Esta diferenciación está basada en el conocimiento que las abejas reconocen la salida, porque su sistema de orientación se basa en la detección de la luz visible e infrarroja y la entrada por la sombra producida desde el interior de la colmena. El uso de este sistema está orientado a favorecer la sanidad de la producción frutícola ya que la polinización por abejas tiene una incidencia del 90% en la producción de almendros y manzanos; 81% en cerezo, kiwi y palto; y un 55% de participación en la producción de ciruelo japonés, frambuesa y peral, además de otros frutos que también aumentan en productividad tras ser utilizadas estos organismos como vectores depolinización. El dispositivo de la presente invención está constituido por dos cámaras internas, una tapa abatible que consta de un sistema de tragaluz, un dispositivo de adherencia a la colmena o panal, deflectores para cada cámara, contenedor de los dispositivos de sustancias biológicamente activas y dispensador para evitar la micosis. The present invention is a device that can be coupled to the honeycomb of a honeycomb and allows bees to use a different entry route than the one they use to exit. This differentiation is based on the knowledge that bees recognize the exit, because their orientation system is based on the detection of visible and infrared light and the entry by the shadow produced from inside the hive. The use of this system is oriented to favor the health of the fruit production since the pollination by bees has an incidence of 90% in the production of almond and apple trees; 81% in cherry, kiwi and avocado; and a 55% participation in the production of Japanese plum, raspberry and pear, in addition to other fruits that also increase in productivity after using these organisms as depolinization vectors. The device of the present invention is constituted by two internal chambers, a flip-up lid consisting of a skylight system, a hive or honeycomb adhesion device, baffles for each chamber, container of biologically active substance devices and dispenser for Avoid mycosis

Todas las partes de esta invención pueden ser fabricadas en materiales naturales o sintéticos, pueden adoptar diversas formas, preferentemente poligonales. El dispositivo de la presente invención está especialmente diseñado, de tal modo que se presenta dividido en dos secciones, esto permite el tránsito de las abejas, una sección para la entrada y la otra para la salida de abejas. El sistema consta de dos aberturas localizadas en diferentes posiciones y permiten diferenciar el tránsito de los individuos, la primera abertura permite solo la entrada de abejas, la otra abertura permite la salida de las abejas, no mezclándose entre ellas, también existe un canal de comunicación con el panal. All parts of this invention can be made of natural or synthetic materials, can take various forms, preferably polygonal. The device of the present invention is specially designed, so that it is presented divided into two sections, this allows the transit of bees, one section for the entrance and the other for the exit of bees. The system consists of two openings located in different positions and allow to differentiate the transit of individuals, the first opening allows only the entry of bees, the other opening allows the exit of the bees, not mixing between them, there is also a communication channel With the honeycomb.

Este sistema se puede ubicar en diversas posiciones del panal, siendo preferentemente localizado en el piso de la colmena. Por su diseño el sistema es convenientemente útil en la distribución de productos biológicamente activos en plantas con flores y al interior de la colmena. En efecto, el dispositivo inventado ofrece un método eficiente para la aplicación de agentes biocontroladores u otros productos para el control de plagas y enfermedades en flores, o bien dispersando u optimizando aun más el proceso de polinización, asegurando la producción frutícola orgánica o bien producción tradicional con biocontroladores. Lo anterior presenta importancia en el área agrícola, ya que con éste simple dispositivo se cuenta con un método para aumentar la producción hortofrutícola, y con ello los ingresos. El uso de este dispositivo además, está orientado al control de plagas y enfermedades en cultivos hortícolas y de producción de semillas, así como también para el control de plagas de las abejas como Varroa destructor o para el suministro de alimentos u otros productos que se desee suministrar a las abejas, generando productos que son utilizados en forma más eficiente pues solo ingresarán a la colmena aquellos que sean necesarios dentro de ella, como también en el caso de utilizar agentes de dispersión a los individuos de la colmena, la salida no se introducirán los agentes a la colmena permitiendo un uso adecuado de ellos. De esta forma se mejoran las condiciones de higiene de las colmenas, a la vez que se distribuyen agentes de control biológico. Consiguientemente, con la presente invención se obtienen productos de mejor calidad y mayor cantidad, ya que al encontrarse con los enemigos naturales que inhiben el desarrollo de éstos, se mejoran las condiciones de producción, crecimiento e incremento efectivo en la explotación de los productos. This system can be located in various positions of the honeycomb, being preferably located on the floor of the hive. By design the system is conveniently useful in the distribution of biologically active products in flowering plants and inside the hive. Indeed, the invented device offers an efficient method for the application of biocontrol agents or other products for the control of pests and diseases in flowers, or dispersing or further optimizing the pollination process, ensuring organic fruit production or traditional production with biocontrollers. The foregoing is important in the agricultural area, since with this simple device there is a method to increase fruit and vegetable production, and with it the income. The use of this device is also aimed at the control of pests and diseases in horticultural crops and seed production, as well as for the control of pests of bees such as Varroa destructor or for the supply of food or other desired products supply the bees, generating products that are used more efficiently because only those that are necessary within it will enter the hive, as well as in the case of using dispersing agents to the hive individuals, the exit will not be introduced the agents to the hive allowing proper use of them. This The hygiene conditions of the hives are improved, while biological control agents are distributed. Consequently, with the present invention products of better quality and greater quantity are obtained, since upon encountering the natural enemies that inhibit their development, the conditions of production, growth and effective increase in the exploitation of the products are improved.

Otra ventaja del dispositivo inventado, es que se genera una nueva colmena, o bien una que está perfeccionada y conformada de una especie de piquera bidireccional, el dispositivo inventado permite esto, además en su cara interna cuenta con sistema de adhesión que aumenta el sellado del mismo, evitando la fuga de ejemplares. En detalle el sistema inventado presenta una sección por donde circulan los individuos que vuelven a la colmena en la cara frontal presenta una división con la sección de salida, además la forma es de trapezoide y posee una prolongación oblicua. Another advantage of the invented device is that a new hive is generated, or one that is perfected and formed of a kind of bidirectional spike, the invented device allows this, also on its inner face it has an adhesion system that increases the sealing of the same, avoiding the escape of copies. In detail, the invented system presents a section through which the individuals that return to the hive circulate on the front face, it has a division with the exit section, in addition the shape is trapezoid and has an oblique extension.

El aspecto más notable de esta invención consiste en que, además de discriminar la entrada y salida de las abejas, se ha modificado el piso de ambas secciones salida y entrada, ya que éstas ahora cuentan con una área capacitada para la inserción de dispensadores de sustancias, permitiendo además su remoción y reemplazo desde el exterior según requerimientos. Con la inserción de esta área, se pueden distribuir sustancias altamente benéficas para la colmena y para las flores. The most notable aspect of this invention is that, in addition to discriminating the entry and exit of bees, the floor of both exit and entry sections has been modified, since they now have a trained area for the insertion of substance dispensers , also allowing its removal and replacement from outside according to requirements. With the insertion of this area, highly beneficial substances can be distributed to the hive and flowers.

Otra ventajosa prestación del sistema se encuentra en la tapa del dispositivo inventado, la que puede ser abatible por articulación en su parte anterior superior, permitiendo realizar limpieza o agregar productos que se requieran distribuir. Además, la tapa está dotada con un deflector adherido que aumenta el área de circulación de las abejas y la superficie de contacto con el producto que se requiera aplicar, tanto hacia el interior de la colmena como hacia el cultivo que se esté polinizando. Adicionalmente, la tapa de la sección de salida de las abejas contiene una lámina de filtro UV que protege de la radiación y desecación los productos aplicados para la distribución en las flores por abejas. Another advantageous feature of the system is in the cover of the invented device, which can be foldable by articulation in its upper anterior part, allowing cleaning or adding products that are required to be distributed. In addition, the lid is equipped with an adhered baffle that increases the area of circulation of the bees and the contact surface with the product that is required to apply, both inside the hive and towards the crop that is being pollinated. Additionally, the cover of the exit section of the bees contains a UV filter sheet that protects the products applied for distribution in the flowers by bees from radiation and desiccation.

Otra favorable cualidad de la invención está relacionada con su instalación, ya que se puede instalar o retirar fácilmente sin necesidad de abrir o mover otras estructuras de la colmena ya que su diseño se ajusta a las medidas del piso y cámara de cría de colmenas clásicas y las más avanzadas. La invención además cuenta con una prolongación de su base que permite su adherencia y fijación al interior de la colmena evitando así la salida de abejas por otras aberturas de la colmena, lo que entrega una eficacia y seguridad adicional para el sistema inventado. Another favorable quality of the invention is related to its installation, since it can be easily installed or removed without the need to open or move other hive structures since its design conforms to the measurements of the floor and breeding chamber of Classic hives and the most advanced. The invention also has an extension of its base that allows its adhesion and fixation inside the hive thus preventing the exit of bees through other openings in the hive, which provides additional efficiency and safety for the invented system.

En el estado de la técnica no es conocido antecedente alguno que comparta o se comporte con las especiales características del objeto de esta invención. Los dispositivos tradicionales son módulos de colmena conocidos y se comportan solamente como una piquera para el paso de las abejas y las piqueras son artefactos para el paso y la ventilación del panal. La presente invención tiene otro propósito, ya que además todos los componentes de este sistema pueden ser fabricados en diversos materiales, lo que supone más prestaciones del sistema en lugares húmedos o para colmenas no tradicionales. En el mundo existen apicultores que prestan servicios de polinización a la fruticultura y a la agricultura empresarial. Además, existe una oferta de cultivos demandantes de polinización que abarcan una superficie de millones de hectáreas cultivadas con frutales entre los que se cuenta cerezo, ciruelos, damascos, duraznos, kiwis, manzanos, nectarinos, perales y otros. In the state of the art there is no known antecedent that shares or behaves with the special characteristics of the object of this invention. Traditional devices are known beehive modules and behave only as a beak for the passage of bees and the beakers are devices for the passage and ventilation of the honeycomb. The present invention has another purpose, since in addition all the components of this system can be manufactured in various materials, which means more performance of the system in humid places or for non-traditional hives. In the world there are beekeepers who provide pollination services to fruit growing and business agriculture. In addition, there is an offer of pollination demanding crops that cover an area of millions of hectares cultivated with fruit trees, including cherry, plums, apricots, peaches, kiwis, apple trees, nectarines, pear trees and others.

Por otro lado, las estadísticas indican que existe una superficie creciente de huertos comerciales de arándano, frutilla y de frambuesa, los que son sensibles a enfermedades y además necesitan de polinización para aumentar sus rendimientos. Con esta invención se superan éste y otras problemáticas persistentes en el arte. On the other hand, statistics indicate that there is a growing area of commercial blueberry, strawberry and raspberry orchards, which are sensitive to diseases and also need pollination to increase their yields. With this invention, this and other persistent problems in art are overcome.

En efecto, con esta invención se ha dado solución a un problema contingente en el área técnica y se ha incorporado tecnología que permite controlar enfermedades y en frutales y en fanerógamas, generando una mayor posibilidad de negocio para el sector apícola. En este sentido, la utilización de la invención implica un valor agregado del servicio de polinización lo que permite obtener una mayor rentabilidad del negocio para los apicultores. In fact, with this invention a solution has been given to a contingent problem in the technical area and technology has been incorporated that allows controlling diseases and fruit and phanerogams, generating a greater business opportunity for the beekeeping sector. In this sense, the use of the invention implies an added value of the pollination service which allows to obtain a higher profitability of the business for beekeepers.

Descrita suficientemente la invención, debe hacerse constar que podrán ser variables los materiales con lo que se construyan los módulos y sus accesorios, así como todos los demás detalles accesorios que no modifiquen ni desvirtúen la esencialidad que objeto de las reivindicaciones. Described sufficiently the invention, it should be noted that the materials with which the modules and their accessories are constructed, as well as all may be variable the other accessory details that do not modify or distort the essentiality of the claims.

The example described below is one of the possible preferred embodiments of the invention and should not be considered as limiting the invention, it only presents a specific illustrative detail, with details and is within the scope of the present invention, since they are possible Many variants without departing from the spirit and scope of the invented system.

Ejemplo N° 1 Example No. 1

Para una ejecución práctica de la invención se construyó el dispositivo de la presente invención, el que adopto un modelo que fue similar a una caja, cuyo material de fabricación fue de madera, el modelo representó medidas convencionales para un panal de abejas, pesó aproximadamente 670 gr y midió 4,5 cm. de alto y 36,5 cm. de largo, abarcando toda la longitud de la piquera de la colmena (prevista en la Figura N° 1). For a practical implementation of the invention, the device of the present invention was constructed, which adopted a model that was similar to a box, whose manufacturing material was wood, the model represented conventional measures for a honeycomb, weighed approximately 670 gr and measured 4.5 cm. high and 36.5 cm. long, covering the entire length of the hive spike (provided in Figure N ° 1).

El modelo permite un tránsito normal de las abejas en y por la colonia, consta de una tapa plana en la parte superior, la cual se elaboro con las siguientes dimensiones: 10,5 cm. de ancho y 37,2 cm. de largo y permite abrirla para limpiar y agregar los dispensadores con los agentes de control biológico o cualquier otro producto que se quiera distribuir cuando se considere oportuno, ver figuras número 1 , ref. 1 y figura número 2. La invención también en una fabricación preferida considera que la tapa presente un tragaluz, las dimensiones del tragaluz para este ejemplo fueron 6 cm. x 12 cm. x 1 ,5 cm. x 9.5 cm. Se confeccionó de una lamina transparente con filtro UV, para la protección de microorganismos de control biológico (ver figura N° 1 , ref.2). The model allows a normal transit of the bees in and through the colony, it consists of a flat lid on the top, which was made with the following dimensions: 10.5 cm. wide and 37.2 cm. long and allows to open it to clean and add the dispensers with the biological control agents or any other product that you want to distribute when deemed appropriate, see figures number 1, ref. 1 and figure number 2. The invention also in a preferred manufacture considers that the cover has a skylight, the dimensions of the skylight for this example were 6 cm. x 12 cm x 1.5 cm. x 9.5 cm It was made of a transparent sheet with UV filter, for the protection of biological control microorganisms (see figure N ° 1, ref. 2).

La luz que penetra a través de este elemento permite orientar a las abejas hacia la salida ubicada en la parte inferior del dispositivo y en el extremo opuesto al área de entrada, en este ejemplo midió 5 cm. x 3cm x 6cm (Figura N° 3, ref.1). El dispositivo es de orientación bidireccional, dotada de una abertura hacia el interior de la colmena que, en este ejemplo midió 20 cm. de largo y 1 ,5 cm, de alto y permite el tránsito de abejas que van saliendo y vienen llegando. Además, provista de una prolongación de su base de 4cm de largo y 21 cm. de ancho que dista a 8 cm. desde sus extremos lo que permite su adherencia y fijación al interior de la colmena (Figura N° 4, ref.4). En la pared externa, sobre esta abertura se le adhirió una franja de goma, para este ejemplo es de 4 mm de grosor, 3 cm. de ancho y 37 cm. de largo que aumenta el sellado de la piquera (Figura N° 1, ref.4). El dispositivo es bidireccional, además está dividido en su interior en dos secciones (Figura N° 2), una por donde entran las abejas, que tiene una abertura ubicada al frente de la caja (ref. 1 en las figuras), para este ejemplo midió 12 mm de alto y 19 cm. de largo. El área por donde circulaban las abejas midió 20,9 cm. de largo en su cara interna y 28,4 cm. en la cara frontal además, el costado externo midió 10 cm. mientras que la división con la sección de salida que le da la forma de trapezoide midió 4,2 cm. en el primer extremo y presentó una prolongación oblicua de 8,5 cm. de largo (Figura N° 2, ref.1). Sobre la tapa o techo de esta sección se encuentra un deflector de madera de 4 cm. de largo con una prolongación oblicua de 12,4 cm. y 2,6 cm. de alto que aumenta la superficie de circulación de las obreras y por ende de contacto con el producto lo que permite impregnar en su cuerpo, la mayor cantidad de partículas e ingresarlas a la colmena cuando se requiera suministrar algún producto en la colonia (Figura 4, ref.2). La otra sección corresponde al área de salida de las abejas, para este ejemplo se elaboro bajo las siguientes medidas 16 cm. x 4 cm. x 9 cm. x 8,5 cm. x 8,9 cm., igual que la sección anterior tiene un deflector de madera de 4cm de largo con una prolongación oblicua de 12,4 cm. y 2,6 cm. de alto adherido a la tapa (Figura N° 4 ref.2, Fig. N° 4 ref.7) que obliga a las abejas a circular sobre el dispensador de los microorganismos para que puedan acarrear la mayor cantidad de producto hacia las flores. En el desarrollo de la piquera bidireccional se han considerado la utilización de un dispensador, para este ejemplo se utilizó cartón corrugado, el cual puede o no ser desechable, para este ejemplo sus dimensiones fueron 8,5 cm. de largo y 7,5 cm. de ancho (Figura 5), que se ubica en el piso de los costados de la piquera sobre The light that penetrates through this element allows the bees to be oriented towards the exit located at the bottom of the device and at the opposite end of the entrance area, in this example it measured 5 cm. x 3cm x 6cm (Figure N ° 3, ref. 1). The device is bi-directional, equipped with an opening towards the inside of the hive, which in this example measured 20 cm. long and 1.5 cm high and allows the transit of bees that come out and come. In addition, provided with an extension of its base of 4cm long and 21 cm. wide that is 8 cm. from its ends which allows its adhesion and fixation inside the hive (Figure N ° 4, ref.4). On the outer wall, a rubber strip was attached to this opening, for this example it is 4 mm thick, 3 cm. wide and 37 cm. long that increases the sealing of the spike (Figure N ° 1, ref.4). The device is bidirectional, it is also divided into two sections (Figure 2), one where the bees enter, which has an opening located in front of the box (ref. 1 in the figures), for this example measured 12 mm high and 19 cm. long The area where the bees circulated measured 20.9 cm. long on its inner face and 28.4 cm. on the front face also, the external side measured 10 cm. while the division with the exit section that gives it the trapezoid shape measured 4.2 cm. at the first end and presented an oblique extension of 8.5 cm. long (Figure N ° 2, ref.1). On the top or ceiling of this section is a 4 cm wooden deflector. long with an oblique extension of 12.4 cm. and 2.6 cm. high that increases the circulation surface of the workers and therefore of contact with the product which allows to impregnate in their body, the greater amount of particles and enter them into the hive when it is required to supply some product in the colony (Figure 4, ref. 2). The other section corresponds to the exit area of the bees, for this example it was developed under the following measures 16 cm. x 4 cm x 9 cm x 8.5 cm. x 8.9 cm., just like the previous section has a wooden baffle 4cm long with an oblique extension of 12.4 cm. and 2.6 cm. high adhered to the lid (Figure No. 4 ref. 2, Fig. No. 4 ref. 7) which forces bees to circulate on the dispenser of microorganisms so that they can carry the greatest amount of product to the flowers. In the development of the bidirectional board, the use of a dispenser has been considered, for this example corrugated cardboard was used, which may or may not be disposable, for this example its dimensions were 8.5 cm. long and 7.5 cm. wide (Figure 5), which is located on the floor on the sides of the piquera on

una superficie de 7,5 cm. de ancho, 13,5 cm. de largo en el costado interno, 8,7 cm. en el costado externo y tiene un fondo de 6mm de profundidad y una abertura hacia el exterior de 8 mm de ancho y 6 mm de alto. Esta abertura permite la remoción y recambio de los dispensadores desde el exterior (Figura 4 ref.3). an area of 7.5 cm. wide, 13.5 cm. long on the internal side, 8.7 cm. on the outer side and has a depth of 6mm and an opening towards the exterior 8 mm wide and 6 mm high. This opening allows the removal and replacement of the dispensers from the outside (Figure 4 ref.3).

La instalación de los dispensadores en la piquera bidireccional es fácil y permite su recambio periódico de acuerdo a las necesidades de aplicación de productos. The installation of the dispensers in the bidirectional board is easy and allows periodic replacement according to the needs of product application.
