How to make money by beekeeping in rural areas?

Beekeeping is indeed a good project to get rich, and many farmers in rural areas earn their income by raising bees. The beekeeping industry should pay attention to the following points if it wants to make money.

As an effective way to increase farmers' income and improve their living standards, beekeeping mode has played a very important role in rural areas, especially in some poor mountainous areas.

At present, there are two main ways of beekeeping production in China, one is fixed land beekeeping, and the other is land circulation beekeeping.

Local beekeeping refers to beekeeping in a fixed place or area. The production method is short in time, greatly influenced by natural climate and high in cost. Land circulation beekeeping refers to moving beekeeping everywhere according to the local honey source situation. This production method is beneficial to using different honey sources to breed bees and reduce bee diseases.

What kind of production mode should be considered before beekeeping, and then the bee species, supporting personnel, planned transportation mode, scale, site and time arrangement should be selected in combination with this mode.

2. Species of Bees At present, the bees cultivated in China are mainly Italian bees and China bees. When choosing bee species, we can choose bee species according to local climatic conditions and honey source distribution. If the local climate is warm and humid, the winter is short, the summer is hot and dry, and the honey source is rich, it is suggested to choose Italian bees (introduced to China in the early 20th century) which can breed and expand the bee colony quickly, improve the honey production efficiency and bring good economic benefits to beekeepers. If the local temperature is high and there are many mountains, it is recommended to choose the traditional Chinese bee. Chinese bee is a native bee in China. It is good at using sporadic nectar plants and consumes less food than Italian bees. Very suitable for fixed-point farming in mountainous areas.

3. It is necessary to choose a suitable bee farm after choosing a good bee species. The quality of bee farm determines the health of bee colony, and the yield and quality of honey are the key factors for the success of beekeeping.

Beekeeping should be far away from noisy places, such as mines, factories, railways and airports. You should choose secluded mountain forests with few people, such as hillsides, Woods and grassland edges. They should try to avoid the interference of people and animals. The key is to have enough sunshine, clean water, broad vision and rich honey sources!

4. Technical learning In China, beekeepers are mostly middle-aged and elderly people, and there is a shortage of young people engaged in this profession. So many of them are family workshops or the tradition of teachers taking apprentices. There is no systematic and perfect beekeeping management guidance, and there is no scientific and measurable effective method. Therefore, in order to raise bees well, in addition to learning from experienced teachers, you can also buy books and practice online. At the same time, you can cultivate your own effective honey management methods, constantly sum up experience, and improve efficiency and effectiveness.

5. Group management Bee colony management is the key to the success of beekeeping! Bee-keeping, as a kind of aquaculture, is influenced by the natural climate, and the management in spring, summer and winter has its own emphasis!

Spring: Paying attention to early spring bee colony management and promoting its rapid development is the key to achieve high yield of honey and royal jelly throughout the year. The central task of early spring bee colony management is to protect worker bees, promote worker bees to lay eggs, cultivate strong bees and restore the potential of bees. The main measures are: changing the spleen frame, promoting bee excretion, paying attention to heat preservation, adding spleen to expand the nest, and rewarding feeding.

Summer: After breeding in spring, bees become stronger in summer. A large number of age-appropriate bees have been cultivated in the bee colony, which has great potential. When there is too much labor inside and outside the hive, there will be bee fever, which will affect the reproduction and production of bee colonies. Therefore, the prevention of aggregated fever should be carried out in time. The main measures include: replacing the new king, preventing heat and cooling down, etc.

Autumn: In autumn, all kinds of plants blossom and bear fruit, and the weather is getting colder. The colony changes from the reproductive stage to the gradual decline stage. In management, attention should also be paid to maintaining physical strength and storing feed to lay the foundation for safe wintering. The key points are: heat preservation and cooling.

This is how bees are raised in rural areas. I hope it helps you.
