Last Updated: 2024/11/21, When the honeybee population is too large or the queen is aging, the worker bee will build a queen hive, and the larvae hatched by the fertilized eggs laid in the queen will be fed to the royal jelly by the worker bee all the time. The natural grouping is usually led by the old queen bee.

When the honeybee population is too large or the queen is aging, the worker bee will build a "royal platform" that specially breeds the queen, and the larvae hatched by the fertilized eggs laid in the queen will be fed with royal jelly by the worker bee all the time, and the new queen will be formed after Eclosion. Natural grouping is usually when the old queen leads a group of worker bees away, and the new queen inherits the original hive. This phenomenon is called "dividing bees".

How can bees not run away?

1, first of all, we should choose a suitable beekeeping place, the site should be quiet, good drainage, no pollution, no human and animal disturbance, and there should be a suitable honey source around.

2. Pay close attention to the situation of the colony and carry out artificial clustering in time when the population is too large to reduce the density of the colony. When the queen is aging, the new queen should be cultivated in time to replace it, otherwise the hormone secretion of the queen is insufficient, and the worker bee may cause grouping by cultivating the new queen. Wang Tai, which naturally appears in the beehive, should be removed in time if it is necessary without reservation.

3. Prevent other insects, birds and animals and other natural enemies from eating bees to steal honey, replenish them in time when there is a shortage of honey sources, and feed them sugar water.

4. If the "split bee" has occurred, the worker bees will gather around the queen to form a colony, and the colony will not be far away from the original hive. At this time, the colony will send reconnaissance bees to explore the new nest site, and the colony will not dissolve and fly away until a suitable new nest site is found.

5. You can spray some honey in a suitable container and move it manually to induce the colony to enter the container to recover the colony and place it in an empty beehive.

6. If the colony settles down the next day and begins to collect honey and build a nest and spleen, it means that the colony has been recovered successfully.

7. If the colony is still unstable or cannot collect nectar due to climate reasons, it should be replenished so as not to escape again.

Honeybee diseases and control of enemy pests

I. Bee diseases

The main results are as follows: 1. There are two technical ways to select disease-resistant bee species: directional breeding within the same variety. Disease-resistant bee species were selected by using heterosis.

2. Keeping strong colony, keeping honeybee spleen in proportion and strengthening the management of bee colony should pay attention to heat preservation in early spring and cooling in summer. In addition to artificial heat preservation and cooling measures outside the hive, the appropriate density of bees on the spleen should be maintained, and the bee route should be adjusted according to the external temperature. Eliminating old spleen and making new spleen nest is not only a breeding place of honeybee, but also a place to store honey, and it is also a carrier of disease source. Timely elimination of disease group nest spleen and old spleen can effectively reduce the spread of disease source.

II. Prevention and Control of Bee enemies

1. Advocate self-breeding, except for the introduction of improved varieties, do not buy bee colonies from epidemic areas, so as to avoid mutual infection. Feed the use of self-produced honey, pollen. Old beehives purchased from other places should be strictly disinfected before use. If bee disease occurs in this beehive, it should be isolated and treated immediately. Do not arbitrarily transfer the spleen of diseased hives into healthy bees to prevent cross-infection. Disinfect the beehive and spleen more than once a year.

2. Reform the feeding method to change the traditional sugar water mixing medicine to adding bee medicine to pollen or sugar powder to feed the bee.

3. To prevent bee pesticide poisoning, understand the situation of spraying pesticides in the surrounding farmland, and take emergency measures to prevent or reduce bee pesticide poisoning.

Trapping methods of wild bees

1. Location selection: to lure wild bees, beehives should be placed in places with abundant honey and powder sources, nearby water sources, foothills or hillsides of Chaoyang, suitable microclimate and obvious targets. The beehive can be placed under the big tree next to the rock.

2. Timing: the success rate of trapping is high in the bee division season, and April-May in the north and November-December in the south are the suitable periods for trapping Chinese bees. The honey source is scarce in the southern subtropical region from August to September, and the wild bee colony has the possibility of migration and is also suitable for trapping.

3. Use the old beehive: it is best to use the old beehive at home (you can replace the old one with new one for trapping), because the old beehive has propolis and propolis, so it is most successful to trap bees. Apply a layer of beeswax on the door of the beehive (burn the old hive with fire and coat the melted beeswax).

4. Check frequently: generally speaking, there will be a harvest after a few days of placement, especially in winter, if it rains for a few days and then the sun comes out for another day, there will be a pleasant surprise. Close the nest door after the bees return to their nest in the evening, move home and raise them in the box as soon as possible.

Conditions for rapid reproduction of honeybees

1. Wang you: the speed of colony reproduction and the level of production mainly depend on the quality of the queen bee. The young and strong queen bee has strong fecundity, rapid population development and can maintain a large colony, the worker bee collection ability is also strong, the work is active, the bee fever is less, and the yield is higher.

2. Group strength: the strong group is the basis of high yield, while the strong group of the Chinese bee is based on the actual situation of the Chinese bee, and each period has its own strong group standard. Only the strong colony can give full play to the spawning power of the queen bee, resist the invasion of diseases and insect pests, and spend the summer and autumn safely.

3. Honey foot: sufficient honey storage in the nest can enable the bee colony to tide over the difficulties when there is a lack of honey in the wild. If there is no honey in the nest, it will cause the colony to feel uneasy, abandon the larvae, stop the queen's eggs, and even steal and fly away.

4. New spleen: the Chinese bee likes the new spleen and hates the old spleen, the eyes of the new spleen are big, the wax is fresh, the queen bee especially likes to lay eggs on the new spleen, and reproduces quickly, the worker bees cultivated are strong and strong, and it is not easy to occur nesting insects in the colony.

5. Density: Chinese bees love to be dense, so they should always keep their spleen commensurate with each other. Dense population potential can help overwintering in winter, dense population potential in honey flow period can promote fast honey storage, early maturity and high yield, and density in summer period can make group potential retreat less and enemy damage difficult to invade.

6. Oversummer: oversummering is a difficult problem for bees in southern China. In addition to the above-mentioned conditions, we should also pay attention to shading, feeding water, strictly preventing enemy damage and keeping the colony quiet.

Breeding honeybees is one of the ways to increase farmers' income in mountainous and semi-mountainous areas. in the process of breeding, pest control is the key link of increasing bee production or not. the health care measures of bees are very important in beekeeping production, and poor handling will affect colony reproduction. it will also reduce the income of the beehive, and in serious cases, it will destroy the whole colony.
