How to cultivate queen bee artificially

We all know that there is a queen bee in every bee colony, the queen bee's reminder is relatively large, and the queen bee's main role is to reproduce offspring, and nothing else. Each queen can lay more than 2000 eggs per day during the spawning season. The queen bee's basic purchase has about 4-6 years, along with the social development queen bee's function is not big. So what if you want to breed a queen bee artificially?

How to breed queen bee artificially

1. During the period of queen mating in warm weather and stable climate, the daytime temperature should be above 20℃, so as to avoid continuous rainy weather. There should be good nectar and pollen sources in nature during the breeding period, and sufficient pollen sources are more important. Every evening for the breeding bee colony and breeding queen group for uninterrupted reward feeding.

2. Selection of parent group: through investigation, healthy and disease-free bee colonies with honey or royal jelly yield exceeding the average yield of the whole field, weak bee differentiation and rapid development of colony potential are selected as parent groups. Male bees are bred from the parent colony and queen bees from the larvae of the female colony. The quantity and quality of breeding drones are directly related to the mating success rate of the queen, but also related to the insemination effect, and then affect the quality of the offspring bee colony.

3. Prepare the breeding king group. The breeding king group is a strong bee colony used to raise queen larvae and pupae. The colony with no disease, no bee mite, strong colony and at least 15 frames of bees should be selected as the breeding colony.

queen bee breeding technique

1, to choose suitable for the area of bee breeding king. It can be introduced from the regular bee farm, or it can be selected from the field for cultivation. It is best to introduce the king from other places every two years to avoid species degradation.

2, there is a good king does not necessarily have to be able to breed a good king, but also must have a good or auxiliary honey powder source, this is another major condition for cultivating a good king. If the external nectar powder conditions are poor, the king cannot be bred. When the nectar powder source conditions are ordinary, the reward feeding should be carried out every evening.

3, with the above two conditions is not enough, but also must use the big egg breeding king, big egg breeding queen bee, birth weight is large, good development. How do you get the big eggs? First of all, the seed king should be imprisoned in bamboo silk cage for 5-10 days, and the seed king should be released 4 - 5 days before the transfer of insects to start laying eggs. The volume and weight of eggs laid within 4 days after releasing the queen are relatively large, and then gradually decrease with the increase of egg production.

What does the queen eat?

1. The queen bee eats royal jelly all her life. The so-called royal jelly is the secretion of the pharyngeal gland of young worker bees cultivated in bee nests. This emulsion is like the milk of mammals and has great nutritional value and immune function. Usually, the life limit of bees (worker bees or male peaks) is about one to six months, while the queen can generally live for five to seven years because she has been eating royal jelly.

2, in the wintering period, the queen still depends on worker bees to feed royal jelly, but the feeding times and dosage are less than the breeding period, which can only maintain the survival needs of the queen, and will not reach the level of laying eggs. In this respect, bees have excellent control ability.

What role does queen bee have

1, spawning reproduction: the main function of the queen bee is to lay eggs, all individuals in the bee colony (new queen bee, drone and worker bee) are developed by the queen bee eggs, a mated queen bee can lay 800~1300 eggs a day and night, the total number of eggs per year can reach more than 100,000.

2. Control order: queen bee controls colony order through "queen pheromone" secreted by itself. After losing king for several hours, worker bees will have lost king emotion. When losing king for too long and unable to transform into small larvae of queen platform in nest, a few worker bees will lay unfertilized eggs in nest room.

3. Genetic carrier: Queen bee is the carrier of genetic diversity of bee varieties, which has direct influence on the production performance, disease resistance and bee differentiation of bee colonies. Therefore, beekeeping farms will select queen bees with good genetic performance, strong reproduction and good disease resistance to cultivate new queen bees.

We know that royal jelly in medicine has the role of nutrients, eat can strengthen the body, and have increased appetite, restore the role of physical strength. Moreover, royal jelly is not nectar, but milky white serous fluid secreted by worker bees 'vegetative glands, which is used to feed queen larvae.
