How to raise wild bees

Wild bees are wild bees, which can produce high-quality honey, and the place where honey is produced is very partial, so many people like to catch some to go home to raise, how to raise wild bees?

1. Make a beehive

First of all, make a beehive, the beehive can use wooden or plastic buckets, the tightness of the beehive is good, you only need to leave a movable nest door.

2. Looking for a beehive

Look for some old beehives, choose a bucket, set the old hive on fire and put it into the barrel to smoke and bake. Be careful not to burn the bucket. Then spread the bucket evenly with beeswax, and then place it near the seductive beehive, reignite the old beehive and let the smell disperse. Bees will enter the beehive when they smell the smell, be careful not to move the beehive so as not to alarm the bees, otherwise it will be more difficult to seduce next time. After the queen bee enters, you can take it home in close. the difficulty in luring wild bees home lies in the queen bee, so be patient.

3. Feeding and management techniques in the later stage.

(1) adequate food: bees need food just like other animals, and the colony will escape when the food is insufficient, so the wild bees collected must be fed in time, and the honey can be diluted with water and fed to the colony. Sugar and water can also be made into syrup for feeding. At this time, there are two main benefits of feeding the colony. One is to provide the colony with the necessary food. The second is that it can stimulate the colony to make spleen to reproduce new bees.

(2) suitable environment: bees have very high requirements in the breeding environment, and they will escape when the breeding environment is not suitable for bees. One is that the temperature and humidity of the farm should be suitable for bees to survive. The second is that beehives should have no peculiar smell (many beehives escape is caused by beehive problems), and the third is that the environment around the farm should be quiet (noisy environment can not keep bees). Fourth, there are fewer enemies (wasps, ants, etc.) near the farm.

(3) Security escape film: after the wild bees are collected, it is best to install an escape prevention piece on the hive door. The escape prevention film is made based on the principle that the queen bee and the worker bee have different chest thickness. after installing the anti-escape film at the hive door, there is basically no restriction on the entry and exit of the worker beehive, but the queen bee cannot come out of the hive because his chest is thicker than the worker bee. In fact, as long as you find a way to control the queen bee in the hive. There is basically no escape from the colony.

(4) transfer son spleen: honeybees are actually very "son-loving" insects, as long as they have a son spleen in the colony, they basically will not escape, so according to this characteristic of the bee, some spleen can be transferred to retain the colony. The specific operation method is to take some egg spleen from other colonies to the newly collected colony, and at the same time to reward and feed the newly collected colony to stimulate queen bee spawning and encourage worker bees to feed larvae. As long as the queen bee starts to lay eggs, the colony will basically not run away.
