Technology of local honeybee culture

As we all know, honey is very rich in nutrients and is spoiled in the market. at present, there are many people raising native bees. So, what is the technology of local honeybee culture?

First, what is the technology of native bee breeding?

First of all, we should choose a beekeeping site, which is suitable for adobe beehives or beehives. The next step is to select bee species, and it is generally appropriate to choose local species. Artificial feeding of honey, syrup and pollen is carried out in winter or at night when there is little nectar. Finally, it is necessary to do a good job in routine management such as cleaning hives and checking colonies, and special management such as dividing bees, changing kings, and merging colonies.

II. Matters needing attention in the selection of bee species

1. Determine your own beekeeping area

The species of honeybees raised in different areas are different, mainly because of the differences in cold tolerance, reproduction, honey collection, pulp spitting and so on. Generally speaking, the black bee species is the best in North China, which has strong cold tolerance, but its heat tolerance is worse than that of Chinese bees suitable for growth and feeding in South China (subtropical). For example, Chinese bees are fed in many areas of South China. In other honey-rich plains and shallow mountains, it is suitable to raise Italian honeybees. If you choose the right bee species according to your own area, you can give full play to the excellent performance of their respective bee species.

two。 The number of bees purchased for the first time

As mentioned above, after determining your own beekeeping area first, you should then determine the number of beehives to buy according to your own needs. If you are a novice, it is best not to buy more than 10 groups, 5-10 groups are better. Advance and retreat can be defended, explore and learn step by step, and then buy or breed a large number of bees themselves after the beekeeping technology is mature, so as not to cause uncontrollable losses.

3. Determine where to buy a colony

The best way is to find other beekeepers nearby. Beekeepers are supposed to help and learn from each other. Communicate and learn more with professional beekeepers, on the one hand, to add points for their own skills, and on the other hand, to avoid the trouble of choosing bee species. Can also be purchased from the local apiculture management station or the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other places, the purchase of bees in these places are also more at ease.

4. The time to buy the colony and the view of the colony

Late spring and early summer is the season when bees reproduce vigorously, and there are a large number of honey and powder sources outside, which is suitable for this time to buy. However, in fact, it is not easy to buy beehives at this time, because this is also the time when beehives have income, and beehives generally do not sell colonies.

Breeding bees is a special project. Before raising bees, you'd better receive professional training to avoid being stung.
