Do you know the methods and precautions of attracting bees in the south?

Attracting bees is an important way for beekeepers to obtain bee seed resources. In fact, there are a large number of wild bees in mountainous areas all over China. It is also a good income-generating way for farmers if they can be artificially trapped and raised, but how to trap these bees is a technical problem. Let's take a look at the methods and precautions for trapping bees in the south!

First, the best time

There are two best times to lure bees, which vary with different climates. One is to trap bees that find a new place to nest in the natural period of bee separation, and the other is to trap bees that abandon their nests and flee in the high incidence period of bee migration. Therefore, it is the key to lure bees to find out the natural period of local bee separation and the high incidence of bee migration. For the south, the natural bee sorting period is mostly concentrated in spring, and the high incidence of bee migration is mostly concentrated in summer and autumn.

Second, bee trapping tools.

Bee trap and bee trap hole are the most commonly used tools to trap bees, but their principles are the same. To put it simply, people should provide a good nesting environment for wild bees eager to find new nesting sites, and at the same time attract bees with things that are attractive to bees, such as beeswax. If bees are successfully lured to detect bees and the nesting environment is ideal, they will be guided to settle down.

Third, the place to lure bees.

The choice of the place to attract bees largely determines whether it can attract bees. First of all, there must be wild bees within a radius of 2 ~ 3 kilometers, secondly, there must be rich and relatively continuous honey sources within a radius of 2 ~ 3 kilometers, and finally, the place of bee attraction must conform to the habit of bee location and have obvious signs, such as being especially suitable for attracting bees under large stones protruding from hillsides or near rock piles in dense forests.

Fourth, the skills of attracting bees.

Whether trapping tools can lure wild bees mainly depends on two aspects. First, whether the environment and location of trapping tools meet the requirements of bees to choose nest sites; Secondly, whether the beekeeping tools are attractive to bees looking for new nests; Therefore, the trapping tools must conform to the habit of bee location, and there must be no unpleasant smell of bees; In addition, beeswax should be coated near the inner wall and the nest door to enhance the attraction to bees.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) matters needing attention

1. Except in winter, almost all bees can be attracted in the south, but the highest success rate is the natural colony, followed by the migratory colony that abandoned its nest and fled in the high incidence period.

2. The investigation bees are the key factor of success or failure in attracting bees, so the tools of attracting bees must be very attractive to the investigation bees, and some abandoned nests and spleens can be ignited to attract the investigation bees.

3. After the bee catching tools are placed, they should be checked regularly. If bees are successfully trapped, they should be sent to the normal beehive in time, and at the same time, the tools for trapping bees should be restored to trap other bees.
