How to trap other people's bees?

Beekeeping is a sideline of many farmers in mountainous areas. In busy farming season, farming activities are the main activities. You only need to manage bees in your spare time. Some people want to keep bees when they see others keeping them, but no bees don't know how to find wild bees. Let's see how to trap other people's bees!

First of all, the time to lure bees

The best time to lure bees is the natural bee-dividing period. At this time, if you are lucky, you can use the king to lure a swarm of bees, but it is unlikely to attract a colony of bees. Is there no way? In fact, if you can't lure the queen bee, you can lure some worker bees back and then prepare a queen bee to give birth. It is also possible to develop, especially when the outside world is short of honey.

Second, bee trapping tools.

Bee trap can be transformed from ordinary beehives, whether it is ordinary living frame beehives or barrel beehives. If you don't have these beehives, you can also use hollowed-out trunks instead. But no matter what kind of beehive is used, only one door can be left for bees to enter and leave, and then some beeswax can be melted and coated on the inner wall of the bee trap. Finally, some honey water, syrup and other foods that attract bees can be sprinkled in the bee trap.

Third, trap worker bees.

After the bee trap is done, you can lure the bees. You can put the bee trap in a relatively secret and quiet place during the natural bee-dividing period, but the probability of directly luring others to divide bees is very small, so the more effective way is to lure workers from other people's homes. The difference is that the best time to lure worker bees is when the outside honey source is scarce. When worker bees detect food, they will bring a large number of worker bees to feed.

Fourth, interfere with the queen bee.

When there are reconnaissance bees in the bee trap to investigate, you should start preparing to have a queen bee. Queen bees can be purchased from other beekeeping farms or directly online. After the queen bee gets it, you should carefully observe the number of worker bees in the bee trap. If there are hundreds or even thousands of worker bees, the next day we should close the nest door and carefully introduce the queen bee. If worker bees accept the queen bee, it means that attracting bees is half the battle.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) bee colony management

The focus is on the successful introduction of the Queen's management. Never open the hive at this time, otherwise the worker bees will fly back to the original hive and the feed in the hive will not be cut off. The reason is that the hive at this time is purely a miscellaneous army, and any trouble may lead to the collapse of the hive. Worker bees create spleen, and after the queen lays eggs, try to open the hive door. If the worker bees can get their attendance, it means that they have basically succeeded.

Conclusion: Trapping other people's bees is not a simple matter. It is almost impossible to lure other people's bees into a whole group unless they have the idea of moving away. In addition, although the method of trapping worker bees can be successful, why not buy a bee colony directly with skills and technology?
