Tube to be used for accommodation of queen bee during artificial insemination, assembled of upper and lower shell

摘要

During the process of artificial insemination the queen bee is held inside a transparent tube open at both ends. The new design of the holding tube is assembled of two rectangular transparent shapes (1) of a suitable size provided with longitudinal grooves (2) at their upper surfaces forming a cylindrical space when the shells (1) are joined. One of the shells (1) is fitted with four pins (3) exceeding from the corner areas and engaging with matching bores located at the opposite element when the device is closed. A built-up of pressure is prevented by openings (4) at the outer ends.
