Now honey can be said to be a very popular agricultural product for men and women, young and old, and consumers' demand for honey is increasing, so the beekeeping industry can become more prosperous. What are the prospects for beekeeping in 2020? What are its management techniques in early spring?

I. what are the prospects of beekeeping in 2020

Compared with foreign apiculture, apiculture in China has great advantages, because apiculture is a traditional industry in our country, with wide distribution, great potential and strong production capacity, but there is a gap, mainly due to low degree of machinery and backward means of production. the labor productivity is not high and the number of bees per unit honey source area is small. The high level of beekeeping labor burden in foreign countries is from one hundred to several hundred groups, while the average in our country is only more than 30 groups. Unit farmland area, hole per square kilometer, snow capacity, the world's advanced level is 3-4 groups, China has only 0.7 groups.

With the development of society and the demand for the improvement of human living standards, the inevitable trend of the development of apiculture is to realize modern beekeeping and scientific beekeeping, which will fundamentally change the backwardness of beekeeping production and gradually narrow the gap between China's apiculture and domestic agriculture and foreign apiculture.

Therefore, generally speaking, there is still a lot of room for development in the prospect of beekeeping in 2020. Beekeeping friends can only constantly update their beekeeping skills and use modern technology and advanced equipment to enhance their core competitiveness. in order to walk more and more smoothly on the road of beekeeping.

2. What are the management techniques of beekeeping in early spring

1. Tight frame for spleen replacement

Choose the sunny weather when the temperature is stable above 10 degrees, and thoroughly evaluate the honeybee yard for the replacement of the spleen. The nest spleen is endangered by the old spleen that has been used for about three years, but the nest spleen that has been cut through the room in autumn cannot be used. After the tight frame, the bee colony should be in a state of multiple spleen of bees, which can effectively avoid spring senescence.

2. Promote bee excretion

At the end of the overwintering period, we should choose the sunny and windless weather with a temperature of 10 degrees, take off the thermal insulation cover outside the beehive, use the sun to warm the hive, promote the bees to fly out of the hive, and eliminate the feces accumulated in the intestines and stomach during the overwintering period. to restore its normal metabolic function and delay the life of the colony. If the weather is fine in the future, you can continue to let it be excreted, and then remove the thermal insulation facilities when the temperature is appropriate.

3. Pay attention to heat preservation

Although the temperature is rising in spring, there will still be extreme cold weather in late spring, so we should pay attention to the heat preservation measures, we can use paper to sew the box and air window, and use straw to surround the bottom of the box and the left and right and back wall of the box. If possible, the beehive can also be covered with plastic film, covered with cotton mat, brown mat or straw mat on the secondary cover, and several layers of paper on the frame beam. Keep the temperature in the nest between 34 and 35 degrees. If the temperature is too low, it will affect the development of larvae and accelerate the senescence of worker bees, making it difficult for the colony to grow.

4. Prevention and treatment of mites

When packing in early spring, it should be said that the nest and spleen to be used should be disinfected by smoking or soaking in normal saline, and then washed and dried in the sun. Bees to do a good job of eliminating mites before entering spring reproduction, generally spray bee body evenly with acaricide No. 1 0.2 ml plus warm water 500 ml 600 ml, 5 ml of bee liquid per box, twice in a row. In addition, it is necessary to do a good job of feeding, especially after excretion, bees entering the breeding period should be constantly fed with high-quality honey water to stimulate queen bee spawning and speed up spring reproduction.

Early spring is the critical period to increase profits, bee farmers remember to do a good job of protection, do a good job of colony management, in order to achieve better benefits.
