How can you raise bees without a queen bee?

The queen bee is the main breeder of the whole colony. A colony without a queen bee will fall into chaos. Sometimes the queen bee disappears because of natural or thought factors, which is not good news for beekeepers. How can we keep bees without a queen bee?

I. Intervention with Queen Bee

This is the most direct and simple way. Jie Wang to be careful, at this time the order of the bee colony is extremely chaotic, a little careless may lead to worker bees surrounded by the king. There are two ways to get the new queen involved. One is to spray some honey on the queen bee with honey and the bee colony, and then put the queen bee near the bee colony and let it climb into the bee colony by itself. The second is to temporarily lock the queen bee near the bee colony with the king cage, and then spray the honey near the king cage. After the bee colony accepts the queen bee, the queen bee will be released.

II. Intervention in Wangtai

A queen cell is a special cell for bees to breed new queens, so a mature queen cell can be inserted for a bee colony when there is no queen. Put the queen platform that has been sealed for more than 5 days at the bottom of the spleen or in the bee road. At this time, guard against the destruction of the queen platform by worker bees. After successfully intervening in the queen platform, the order of the bee colony will gradually recover.

III. Urgent Creation of Wangtai

A few hours after a bee loses its queen, worker bees begin to work, rushing to create a queen and breeding a new queen. At this time we have to do is to supplement some eggs to the bee colony spleen and do a good job of feeding, after 1-2 days without the king group will "emergency Wang Tai" to cultivate a new queen.

IV. Merge into other bee colonies

The last method is to merge the kingless colony into another weak colony to strengthen the colony. One method is to spray some honey on both colonies and merge the colonies directly. The other method is to temporarily separate the hive with newspapers, etc., and then put the kingless colony on one side of the hive. Then spray honey on both sides. About half a day, the bees will bite the newspapers and merge them together.

The queen bee is the core of the bee colony. Without it, the bee colony cannot be maintained well. In the process of beekeeping, the breeding mode of bees should be respected and good living conditions should be provided for it.
