    Wasp capture device.
    OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention relates to a wasp capturing device and especially known as the Asian wasp (Vespa velutina nigrithorax), intended for application on a bee apiary, using the bees themselves as bait.
    The object of the invention is to achieve a massive but highly selective capture of Asian wasp, an invasive species in our ecosystem that is in the process of territorial expansion, being also a voracious predator of the common bee (Apis mellifera), allowing the wasp capturing device that bees can work normally by not perceiving danger at the entrance to the hive.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    Various devices and means are known for capturing Asian wasps, which are based on the use of different baits in an attempt to attract the wasps to a trap, usually funnel-like. Some of them take advantage of the smaller size that bees have with respect to Asian wasps so that they can be captured without harming the bees.
    Among other devices, the one described in the utility model ES 1079038 U can be mentioned, which consists of a device that sets a small-size bait trap to catch wasps.
    These methods are not entirely effective in their operation as the bee is a much more attractive bait than any other, so that only a few wasps are attracted to the "artificial" bait, in addition to presenting a small size and not susceptible to be scaled to much larger sizes, not being therefore applicable to medium or large hives, with high number of hives, in which it is necessary to resort to a large number of this type of traps, with the consequent increase in price

    supposed.
    In the utility model ES 1078754 U, referred to a wasp trap trap in hives, it describes the presence of holes of approximately 5.5 mm in it that allow bees to leave the trap, which are smaller than 5, 5 mm, while preventing the exit of Asian wasps, because they are larger than 5.5 mm in size, also describing the presence of a network with holes of approximately 8-10 mm that do allow the passage of wasps
    Both scientific literature and aplcola practice have established the size for the passage of bees, also known as "bee space", which was discovered by Lorenzo Lorraine Lanstroth, referring to the distance that must exist between the frames or honeycombs of a hive so that bees (Apis Mellifera) can circulate between them, and that should never be less than 5 mm.
    It should be noted that, as mentioned above, Asian wasps are insects that mainly capture bees and their specialty is to be placed in static flight in front of the hives in order to capture these bees when they return or flutter at the entrance of the beehive or piquera, which causes two types of damage to take into account, on the one hand the decrease in the number of bees in the hive and on the other the slowdown in the operation of the hive itself, by forcing the bees to group in the entrance to defend it, leaving with it its main tasks such as the larva crla, the collection of food (nectar and pollen) and other tasks necessary for the maintenance of the hive.
    You can also establish the same enclosures that cover the apiary with meshes or nets that allow the passage of bees but not of wasps, preventing the entry of wasps to the area of the hives and siege in the piquera, but without avoiding that attack the bees when they leave the enclosure, which is essential for their life cycle and maintenance of the hive, so these enclosures are merely defensive, not capturing the wasps so that their predatory action of bees is not avoided in the outside.
    Thus, no device is known that on the one hand uses the bees themselves
    as bait and on the other, take advantage of the flight's own departure behavior

    wasps for capture and also allow to work on large hives according to the characteristics of the device that will be described below.
    DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    The wasp capturing device that is recommended solves in a completely satisfactory way the problems previously exposed, in such a way that, using the bees themselves as bait, it allows the entry of the Asian wasps to the area of the hives, capturing them after their departure or back to the nest, dramatically reducing the number of these wasps and thereby relieving pressure on the apiary.
    For this, the invention is based on a device for capturing wasps that, in short, is a set consisting basically of two elements: on the one hand a mesh or net enclosure that covers the apiary, and whose function is to focus on the wasps on their way out to the second element of the set, one or several collectors that serve as a sieve or selector as well as a deposit or wasp trap.
    The apiary is covered by a mesh or net enclosure of an opening or hole size such that it allows the bees to access the apiary or leave it but not that of the wasps, since these are larger, in addition to loading with the captured bees, although this covering is not closed in its entirety, remaining open at the bottom, so that the wasps enter through said lower part to besiege the hives and capture the bees.
    When a wasp catches a bee or just to get out of the apiary, it tends to fly upwards, finding itself in this vertical displacement with the mesh or net closure that prevents it from passing, thus forcing the wasps to look for the exit and being focused towards one or more collectors, which can be of different sizes, located in the upper area of the enclosure, collectors consisting of a ramp or deflector ramp, a funnel-type entrance to a selector chamber and one or several trap wasp storage tanks.
    Thus, the exit of the wasps from the hives area is prevented by the closing of
    mesh or net, which directs them to the collector or collectors, since the wasps or

    either they enter directly through the funnel-like entrance of the collector towards the selector chamber or they settle on the routing ramp, which acts as a deflector to lead them towards the funnel of access to the selector chamber, this ramp also acting as the first sieve, having holes smaller in size than the wasp they let bees through.
    The selector chamber is constituted by a mesh of passage such that it allows the insects of smaller size to leave the wasp like the bees, so that the wasps that can not leave or through the entrance are screened again. be this funnel type, or through the holes of the mesh, the only possible exit being offered through the access hole to the trap deposit, inside which they are accumulated to be subsequently removed.
    It is convenient that inside the collector and especially inside the trap tank there is ventilation and there is no high temperature, since the Asian wasps do not tolerate heat and this act as a repellent, producing an adverse effect that dramatically reduces the effectiveness of the collector, in provision of which ventilation openings are practiced, which also helps bees, by allowing them to stay alive until they find the exit.
    Ultimately, by means of the device applicable to a complete apiary or a portion thereof, it is achieved that the pressure of the Asian wasp decreases dramatically, since these are gradually being eliminated and continuously without the beekeeper having to be passing daily by the apiary or put baits, because it uses the bees themselves as bait to catch the wasps.

    To complement the description that is going to be carried out below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization thereof, a set of drawings is accompanied as an integral part of said description. where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:

    PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    As can be seen in the figures summarized, the device of the invention is intended for application on a group of hives (12), either on a complete apiary or on portions thereof.
    The device is placed with the hives (12) inside, or close enough to them to cover the area located before the hives and specifically the area adjacent to or bordering on its piqueras, creating a non-complete covering of them by means of a net or mesh whose hole size, approximately between 5 and 10 mm, allows the passage through its bees but makes it difficult for Asian wasps to be larger and increase in size when transporting the captured bee, that supposes the impossibility to cross it in flight to leave the apiary.
    The device is also effective even if the hives (12) were not placed inside but in their immediate proximity, but covering the radius of action of the flight of the bees in front of their hives.
    The enclosure or covering (1) of mesh or net covers the apiary above but without completely closing the sides, for example not reaching the ground, thus allowing the entry of wasps through the bottom, so that you are nature will carry out the siege of the hives (12) for the capture of bees, subsequently moving away from the apiary, an action that they generally carry out by flying upwards and outwards in the direction away from the hives (12), bumping into said route of away with the upper part of the covering (1) where they will continue to look for an exit, always with that tendency up and out, being led to the pick-up element
    (2), which in turn consists of a steering ramp (3), selector chamber (4) and deposit

    trap (6), and which is located in the upper part of the covering (1).
    The routing ramp (3) has a deflector function to direct the insects to the selector chamber (4), in addition to acting also as the first sieve by having holes of size greater than 5 mm and less than 8 mm, which are small for the passage of wasps through it but large enough to allow the passage of bees and other insects of similar or smaller size, so that the wasps can perch on it without being able to cross it and will be conducted in an upward direction towards the entrance mouth ( 8) to the selector chamber (4), the inlet mouth (8) having a strangled funnel-like configuration as it narrows as it enters the selector chamber (4), from which the wasps will no longer come out when they are very difficult find the aforementioned narrowing of the inlet mouth (8) and this is not an obvious exit, due to the internal configuration of the selector chamber (4), which has in its lower part a fold (7) has returned cia up and oriented towards the inside of the selector chamber (4) that serves to direct the wasps towards said selector chamber (4) making their exit difficult.
    The selector chamber (4) acts as a screen for the insects that access it, being made with mesh and allowing for the sufficiently reduced size of its holes, greater than 5 mm and less than 8 mm, to be crossed by the bees but not because of the Asian wasps, which, by not finding the entrance mouth (8) through which they have accessed the inside of the selector chamber (4), can only leave it through the holes (5) of access to the trap deposits (6), the holes (5) being located in the highest zone of the selector chamber (4) and connecting with the trap tank (6) leaving a space in the upper part of this tank (6) of approximately 10-15 cm height
    Due to their behavior pattern during the outbound flight, which is usually directed outwards and upwards, the wasps are much more likely to find the entry holes (5) to the trap deposits (6) than the narrow inlet mouth (8), because its progressively decreasing section goes unnoticed for the wasps once they access the interior space of the selector chamber (4), being the direction towards the holes (5) equally favored by the fold (7), and finally the wasps accumulated in these trap deposits (6), whose periodic emptying, possible to have these containers a practicable character, can be conveniently spaced.
    The trap tanks (6) can have internal compartments (9) communicated with each other by means of funnels (10) that hinder the return of the wasps until they are finally trapped in the bottom of the trap tank (6), where in turn liquid or sticky substances (11) with insecticidal function that facilitate their immobilization.
    5
    The trap tanks (6) also have small holes (13) with a size greater than 5 mm but less than 8 mm, enough to allow the bees to pass through, but preventing the passage of trapped wasps, serving the At the same time, these holes (13) to favor ventilation that helps keep the interior temperature 10 of these trap tanks (6) low.
