How do bees raise strong groups?

How to raise a strong colony for bees is what most beekeepers want, but ideas are always just ideas, and it is even harder to really do it. In order to maximize the benefits, we can only raise a strong group through various methods. Let's see how bees raise a powerful colony.

How do bees raise a strong colony 1 1. A new queen bee? As we all know, a high-quality young queen bee is the key to cultivating a strong group. In the process of beekeeping, we must pay attention to the characteristics of each queen bee colony and be good at finding bees with strong collection ability, strong group maintenance ability and excellent disease resistance.

The eggs of this queen bee can be used to cultivate excellent bee species, and a large part of the love for bees is also the reason for bee species. Generally, in the spring and autumn, new kings should be cultivated in advance, and old and inferior kings should be eliminated in time. Honey source period is coming, you must be an excellent young queen bee, so that bees can differentiate and develop rapidly.

Second, the new nest spleen. Queen bees with new spleen prefer to lay eggs, and the offspring born with high-quality new nest spleen are healthier and bigger. Even if honey is stored, worker bees prefer to store it on new spleens. The old spleen is likely to carry germs and viruses, as well as mites or nest worms and their eggs. Once the bee colony infection breaks out, it is very harmful. When the young bees leave the nest room, the cocoon clothes will remain on the wall of the nest room. After several floors are left from generation to generation, the nest room will become smaller, and worker bees are not allowed to bite and clean it, which wastes the energy of worker bees. Generally, the bee spleen can be changed once a year, and Chinese bees may change it more frequently.

But you can't do spleen at any time. There must be a rich source of honey powder and a healthy and dense hive. In this way, we have to do something during the honey source period.

Don't blindly replenish the spleen. If the number of bees is not enough, they can barely build nests and the spleen can't be built well, so the number of bees will be sparse, which will cause pests and diseases. Especially in the early spring rape flowering period, the temperature is unstable, the bee power is insufficient, and the spleen is barely made. If you must create a spleen, you can transfer the bee spleen without eggs and shrink it to rebuild a new spleen. Pay attention to the nest base and put it in the middle of the bee colony to make it complete.

Third, the new hive. Beehives are exposed to the wind and sun all the year round, and they are damaged quickly. Compared with the old beehive, the new beehive has good sealing performance in heatstroke prevention and cooling, which is beneficial to self-temperature regulation. In the aspect of resisting enemy harm, it is beneficial to the defense and protection of bees because of its good sealing. Of course, there are also new hive viruses, germs, pests and eggs, so the risk of diseases and insect pests is smaller. When the hive is damaged and cannot be replaced in time, it should be repaired diligently, without holes and cracks, and pay attention to disinfection and insect prevention.

How to raise a group of strong bees II. First, when placing a beehive, the doorway of the beehive can't face the tuyere, that is to say, the doorway of our beehive can't face the position where the strong wind blows, and no wind can directly blow into the beehive in winter or summer, because if the wind blows directly into the beehive, it will break the temperature balance in the beehive. At this time, worker bees have to maintain the temperature problem in the hive in large quantities, especially in winter. Once the cold wind blows into the hive, a large number of young bees and egg worms will freeze to death in severe cases, so this is a very important step for the development of bees.

The door of the nest is facing the tuyere, so the bees standing guard at the door are unstable, and the bees entering and leaving can not fall to the door accurately due to the influence of the wind, and the wind blows directly into the box, which affects the temperature imbalance in the hive.

Second, our beehives can't be placed directly on the concrete floor. For example, some friends like to keep bees on the roof, or fans like to put them in the front and back of the house. These idle places are more convenient for building, observation and management. In fact, this is a very unsatisfactory practice, which is also the reason why the queen bee stopped production in summer.

Returning bees will be particularly beneficial, because the sun may reach above 60 degrees when the cement floor is hot in summer, and at this time, worker bees need a lot of fan wind to adjust the temperature balance in the nest, which will be consumed when fan wind is used, leading to the vitality of bees. In addition, if the temperature is too high, the queen bee will stop production. In this case, it will also return to the bee very quickly.

On the one hand, the high temperature of the cement floor in summer leads to the high temperature in the box, on the other hand, a lot of dirty things or water will enter the nest after it rains.

Third, the number of bee spleens should be appropriate. Of course, we don't mean that there must be more bees than spleen or anything. It depends on when. For example, in winter, there must be more bees and less spleen, so in spring, because the weather is unstable in early spring, it is still necessary to have more bees and more spleen at this time, and late spring can be commensurate with bee spleen;

Spleen can be more than bees in summer, because many bees are on the wall of the box at this time. When we look at it, we can see that there are not so many bees on the spleen, because there are many bees on the nest box and many worker bees are outside during the day, so the number of bees we see at this time is not so accurate. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the number of bee-spleen collocation according to the climate change throughout the year and the situation of honey source in Beijing.

The collocation of bees and spleen depends on the season and climate.

Fourth, pay attention to the cleanliness of the bottom of the hive. Especially in spring, summer and autumn, these three seasons are especially suitable for the survival of nest worms, which are prone to high incidence, so special attention should be paid to cleaning the hive more cleanly at these times to reduce the harm of nest worms and the occurrence of some diseases.

Clean the garbage at the bottom of the box regularly during the high incidence period of nest worms.

Fifth, the inspection of bees. Then how should I check? We can divide it into big honey flow period and normal examination. For example, check it once a week at the latest in the honey flow period, because the honey flow period is also the high incidence period of our natural bee distribution, so we should prevent the natural bee distribution from weakening the bee colony.

Therefore, it is necessary to check once a week during the big honey flow. If you find Wangtai, regardless of bees, you should dispose of it in time. In normal times, we also have to check. You can check it once every 15 days. Of course, it depends on the colony potential of our bees. For example, we need to shorten the inspection time for strong bees, and Chinese bees can check for a while. We must plan this inspection, and we should avoid opening the hive every one or two days.

This will cause too frequent human interference to bees and easily lead to bees flying away, especially for some novices. As soon as they have time, they want to open it to see if the bees have gone bad, if they have honey, if they want to add spleen and so on. On the one hand, it will cause the problem of internal temperature imbalance of bees, and worker bees have to maintain the temperature of this group. If there are more bees, they will feel very upset.

Then when we check, if we are in the honey flow period, we should pay attention to whether the queen bee lays eggs on the spleen, whether there is a platform at the lower part of each spleen and whether there are nest worms. Don't let go every time you can't see the queen bee.

Moreover, it should be handled carefully to minimize the interference to bees; For the usual bee colony inspection, we only need to see whether the queen bee with lateral spleen or dynamic spleen lays eggs normally; Then for some strong groups above the medium level, it is necessary to check whether there is a platform, and usually check whether there is water honey on the side spleen.

If there is no honey, we should pay attention to whether the bees are short of honey at this time. If the lateral spleen is already very dry, it means that the bee colony is easy to lack honey, or it has already lacked honey. Bees can easily fly away if they are often short of honey. If you find honey shortage, feed it in time.

There is no honey on the nest spleen, which indicates that honey is seriously insufficient. Pay attention to feeding in time to prevent bees from escaping.

So beekeeping must pay attention to these five points. As long as you solve these five problems one by one, it is easy to form a strong group or a big group.

How do bees raise powerful groups? First, greed. Relatively speaking, many novices can divide bees at first sight, but they can't figure it out, so it's easy to divide bees. Soon, a whole box of seven or eight spleen bees was divided into seven or eight groups, and the number went up, but the output could not keep up. Finally, a bee colony died and beekeeping failed.

Second: use emergency king extensively. If the technology is good, it is also feasible in good seasons, which is nothing more than slow reproduction. However, many novices can't artificially breed kings, and they use emergency kings in large quantities. Because of the danger of mating with the new king and the quality problem of the emergency king, a large number of bees are eventually lost, and beekeepers are usually difficult to find because of experience problems, which eventually leads to the loss of bees.

In the bee tribe's view, the above two points are two common phenomena that novices can't raise strong groups. So, how to keep a bee farm prosperous?

First: raise a strong group. The potential of bee colonies varies from place to place in our country, but local people all know the potential of bee colonies that local bees can reach, so we must know how many spleens local strong bees can reach in breeding, and insist on not distinguishing bees if this condition is not met.

Second: choose a quality queen bee. Queen bee is a magic weapon to maintain a strong colony in bee reproduction. Even in a beekeeping farm, the quality of the queen bee is easily different. In order to avoid this difference, we can choose long-term high-quality bee colonies to cultivate new queen bees, and adopt artificial breeding methods to improve the overall quality of queen bees.

Third: strengthen the weak. This is a necessary skill for having a high-quality queen bee. The principle is that bees can't identify larvae, so they keep them as long as they are larvae. Therefore, the cover spleen of the strong group can be improved to the weak group to supplement the number of bees in the weak group, so that the egg spleen of the weak group can be fed to the strong group, providing more sufficient nutrition and heat preservation conditions, and the larvae of the weak group can be fully fed.

Fourth, respond to disasters in time. For example, Chinese bees should change and clean their spleen frequently, keep the proportion of spleen, prevent the breeding of nest worms in the bee colony to the maximum extent, and improve the overall defense ability of the bee colony.

Fifth: rational feeding. Proper feeding here means feeding when it is time to feed and not feeding when it is not time to feed. Many inexperienced friends are convinced that bees can live well without feeding auxiliary feed, but there are really few places in China where the temperature can be kept suitable all the year round and the honey source is rich. Therefore, feeding in the honey shortage period and transition period is an essential skill for an experienced beekeeper, not to reduce the quality of honey, but to cultivate scientifically.
