How to raise honeybees

Selection of bee species: selecting bee species with high pollen collection in local area for breeding. Selection of beehives: the material of beehives should be firm and light, and generally live beehives can be selected to facilitate later management and honey collection. Transfer bee colony: Place bee colony and spleen into hive. Subsidized feeding: honey, sugar water and pollen are artificially fed once in the morning and evening in winter. Reward feeding: In spring and autumn breeding period, artificial feeding sugar water, syrup and honey once a day in the evening.

1. Selection of bee species

Not all areas are suitable for bee farming, so before breeding bees, it is generally necessary to first understand the local natural environment, and then select local bee species for breeding, which is conducive to improving the success rate of bee farming.

2. When selecting bee colonies, try to choose bee colonies that come in and out frequently and collect more pollen for breeding.

II. Selection of beehives

1, the selection of beehives is also very critical, it is an important condition for bee farming, because beehives are generally placed in the open air, and the basic life of bees is carried out in the beehives, so the requirements for choosing beehives are that the materials should be solid and the texture should be light.

2. Generally, for beginners who have just started breeding bees, it is more suitable to choose a live box hive, which is conducive to the replacement of the nest spleen, and it will be more convenient in the later management and honey collection.

III. Transfer of bee colonies

1. Transfer bee colony is to transfer the purchased bee colony, or the wild trapped bee colony, to the selected live box hive, which is conducive to the bee adapting to the new environment more quickly, usually together with the bee's nest spleen into the hive.

In this way, the bee colony can also resume normal activities as soon as possible, and will not miss the environment before nesting, because the bee's nest spleen has been moved together.

IV. Subsidized feeding

1. Subsidized feeding actually refers to a supplementary feeding process in the honey collecting stage of bees, generally artificial feeding of honey, sugar water, pollen, etc. at night.

2, especially in the honey collection is relatively small, generally in winter, also need to use subsidies to maintain the survival of bees, and improve the honey production of bees, and this time of subsidies, generally in the morning and evening once.

V. Reward feeding

1, reward feeding is generally divided into two stages, respectively, in the spring breeding period, and autumn breeding period, generally in the spring breeding period for reward feeding, is to improve the economic benefits of breeding bees, and for the autumn breeding period, it is to make bees can be smooth winter, conducive to improving the economic benefits of the second year.

In fact, reward feeding is similar to subsidy feeding, usually using sugar water, syrup, honey, etc. for feeding, but if reward feeding is carried out, it is generally only necessary to feed in the evening every day.
