2. What are the technical points of beekeeping

1. Seed selection

At present, honeybees raised in China are mainly divided into two categories, of which 90% are imported from Europe, including Italian bees and northeast black bees, and 10% are Chinese honeybees. Italian bees are distributed in North and Northeast China, with a strong physique and suitable for breeding, while the northeast black bees are resistant to cold and are more distributed in the northeast. Chinese bees are distributed in Northeast, Northwest, North China and Southwest, and their honey production is less than that of Italian bees.

2. Buy a bee colony

The best time to buy is in early spring, when buying, pay attention to choose the queen bee under two years old. The strong queen bee has a large belly, a sharp tail, four wings and six legs, and healthy worker bees are large, bright, docile and docile; you can also buy them in summer and autumn, but you must choose a colony with the new queen bee of that year, and make sure that there is a honey source that will allow the bees to survive the winter.

3. Choose the honey source

Honey source is flowering plants, such as rape, sweet clover, alfalfa, jujube, locust, bauhinia and so on. A swarm of bees should have 2-4 mu of honey source as a guarantee. Site selection requires a quiet environment, rich water resources, and avoiding schools, enterprises, construction sites and other places.

4. Prepare the beehive

The beehive is the habitat of honeybees. the internal structure of the beehive includes a large cover, a grass curtain, a cloth covering, an auxiliary cover, a nest spleen and a partition. Beehives can be made of solid wood such as undeformable red and white pine, Chinese fir, poplar and so on. Hive spleen is the working position of bees, a beehive has 3-5 nest spleen, each nest spleen has about 1-2 jin of beeswax. The partition is a grid that controls the spawning and activity of the queen bee, separating the breeding area from honey production, ensuring that larvae, pupae, pollen and honey will not be mixed with honey, and worker bees can pass freely.

Beehives need to be checked regularly, one is to see whether the queen bee is still there, the second is to see how much honey is stored, the third to see whether the queen bee lays eggs, and the fourth to see whether the number of bees is large and whether the nest spleen is enough. Out-of-the-box inspection is usually carried out once every 15-20 days.

5. Feeding time

When the beeswax on the nest and spleen is less than 1 jin, it is necessary to supplement high concentration syrup to prevent bees from starving. Feeding in the evening is not fed during the day, and the amount of feeding is based on the end of the night.

6. High yield skills

Replenish pollen to bees before spring propagation, workers will be excited when they eat fresh pollen and actively secrete royal jelly to feed the queen bee to promote the queen bee to lay eggs.

Timely supplement of protein feed, such as eggs, to enhance the physique of bees. 3. In the period of honey flow, more new spleen can promote the queen bee to lay a large number of eggs, which can improve the enthusiasm of workers to collect honey.

III. Analysis of the cost of keeping bees

The benefit of beekeeping is affected by the difference of bee release mode, breeding scale and bee species. The average cost of raising each group of bees is about 500-600 yuan, and the average income is 800 yuan.

Among the different bee release modes, the cost of local culture is the lowest, and under the mode of "trans-provincial transfer", bee farmers chase after the flowering period and get the most bee products and the largest income, about 900 yuan per colony. For different feeding scale, the profit rate of large-scale feeding of more than 150 groups is the highest, and the net profit of each colony is about 300 yuan. It shows that there is a phenomenon of economies of scale in beekeeping. There is little difference in the impact of bee species on cost and return. The breeding cost of Italian bees is twice as much as that of Chinese honeybees, but the benefit is also twice as much.

With the development of apiculture, there are many stories about beekeeping getting rich. Many people are eager to try, but still hold a wait-and-see attitude due to lack of understanding. The editor specially suggested that farmers had better conduct a market investigation before they can analyze the specific situation, so as to avoid blind beekeeping leading to losses.
