The breeding technology of honeybees and strengthening the management of bee colony

Breeding site: high terrain and sufficient clean water, far away from Urban area and factories. Selection of bee species: It is best to choose local bee species, and it is not suitable for mixed culture, so as not to cause impure honey, to control the number of spleen. Beekeeping tools: including live frame beehives, bee hats, feeders, anti-escape tablets and other tools. Strengthen management: regular management includes cleaning beehives, checking bee colonies, etc., special management includes sorting bees, changing kings, etc. Prevention and control of pests and diseases: pay attention to feed hygiene and actively prevent and control pests and diseases.

1. Bee breeding sites

Bee farming requires a certain site to place beehives. If the number of bees raised is relatively large, the site area needs to be continuously expanded. There are certain requirements for the site selection of beehives. The beehives should not only have high terrain to prevent flooding in summer, but also be able to effectively shade. In addition, there should be sufficient and clean water and honey sources around the site for bees to collect honey, and the breeding site should be far away from noisy places such as Urban area and factories, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble.

2. Understand the living habits of bees

Understanding the living habits of bees is the most basic condition for raising bees. Most of the management of bee colonies starts around the living habits of bees. For example, the social habits of bees are the theoretical basis for merging bee colonies. For example, understanding the habits of bees can be done skillfully when artificial bees are divided. If we can thoroughly study the living habits of bees, we will find that beekeeping is not so difficult.

3. Selection and collocation of bee species

When selecting bee species, try to choose local bee species that adapt to the local environment. If all varieties are mixed, honey will be impure, which will affect economic benefits. Beekeeping should pay attention to the number of spleen absolutely can not be more than bees, more can not increase the spleen at will, otherwise it will cause bees greedy spleen, resulting in decreased activity and increase the incidence of bees, only in the case of more young worker bees can be added spleen, because young worker bees will secrete a large amount of beeswax after birth.

4. Choose scientific beekeeping tools

If you can choose a set of handy tools when breeding bees, the breeding work of bees can get twice the result with half the effort. Among many breeding tools, the most important tool is beehive. When choosing beehive, try to choose live frame beehive, because live frame beehive has advantages over other kinds of beehives in terms of management and disease prevention. In addition to beehives, bee caps, feeders, anti-escape tablets and other tools should be prepared.

5. Strengthen the management of bee colonies

The management of bee colony is divided into two parts: conventional management and special management. Conventional management generally includes cleaning beehives and checking bee colonies, while special management includes dividing bees and changing kings. In addition, there are great differences in the management of bee colony in different seasons. For example, the management focus in spring and autumn is reproduction, the management focus in summer is prevention of bee heatstroke, and the management focus in winter is winter.

6. Prevent and control bee pests and diseases

Pest control is the most important work of bee farming, and to a large extent determines whether the bee farming success, in addition to disease detection and treatment as early as possible. In the process of feeding at ordinary times, attention should be paid to the hygiene of feed and beehives. In addition, some drugs for preventing and controlling diseases can be added to the feed of bees.
