Key points of bee breeding technology: when do you need a prisoner?

In the process of bee breeding, the prisoner king is a compulsory means to let the queen stop production, recuperate and recuperate, so as to prepare for the spring reproduction in the coming year. So when do you need a prisoner king? If the king is imprisoned for a long time, how to successfully release the king without besieging the king?

1. Key points of bee breeding technology: when do you need a prisoner?

During the overwintering period, the temperature is low, the source of honey and powder is few, and the upbringing cost is too high, so the king of prison is needed. There are times when you need a prisoner in peacetime.

The king of summer prisoners. In Hubei, the temperature rises in early July after the end of the bauhinia flower, which is not conducive to caressing the son. At this time, mites are likely to breed after the nectar period, so they have been imprisoned again. The summer temperature in the two lakes is higher than that in Guangdong and Guangxi. If the colony exceeds 35 ℃, it has to cool the hive, maintain a suitable temperature, and the dry humidity needs to be adjusted, which costs a lot of feed and harms the bees. If the temperature and humidity are not suitable, the young bees will not grow well. Young bees with high temperatures will get crippled bees that curl their wings and cannot fly. If you are too wet, you will get rotten, and if you are too dry, you will get dry. Therefore, the inappropriate temperature is difficult to reproduce bees healthily, so consider the prisoner king.

More importantly, mite pests are a perennial threat to Italian bees. At the end of a big honey source period, there will be mites. If they are not prevented in advance, they will suffer heavy losses. Small mites are mainly parasitic on the larvae, drug killing can not kill the mites in the cover, so only do not produce children, no bee lid, can completely kill the mites. Of course, there is no guarantee that they will be killed temporarily, and the bees will still be infected outside.

The king of summer prisoners can save feed, and it is terrible for bees to be fed without honey in summer. Can make the colony healthier, can eliminate mites and cure diseases, many bee diseases need to be cut off before they can be treated. Finally, there is a point that we can use the King of Prisons to cultivate the King of Autumn. When the king is in prison, we begin to arrange for the king to move the worm to cultivate the king, so that we can raise the king in large quantities, have a higher success rate, and choose more excellent kings. When the new king succeeds, it will be almost the time of autumn. The young king has a high birth rate, a high overwintering survival rate, and develops rapidly in spring propagation. There are so many advantages.

Second, if the king has been imprisoned for a long time, how to successfully release the king without besieging the king?

According to the conventional practice in the past, the spleen was tightened and mites were treated at the same time as releasing the king. If the following methods are adopted to release the king, the occurrence of besieging the king will be greatly reduced. Check the bee colony 5 days before breeding, first adjust the feed, control mites, do not tighten the spleen, first feed less powder, do not put the king. At the same time, it is best to reward the bees properly in the first 1 or 2 days to excite the worker bees. The purpose of feeding the right amount of powder is to make the worker bees have the mood to raise children. Three or five days later, the mites basically disappeared, and then released to the king, the night before the appropriate amount of reward and feeding, but should choose good weather. When the worker bee is not on duty the next morning, the king will not surround the king and do not tighten the spleen. Wait until nine days after the queen lays eggs and there is a small amount of lid in the nest, then the spleen will be officially propagated.

III. Bee colony management measures

1. Seize the good opportunity of producing group prisoner kings several times, cultivate new queen bees in large groups, and use the new king of that year to survive the winter.

2. Worker bees can freely enter and leave the bamboo and plastic king cage, which is hung in the center of the colony to make the queen bee material transfer quickly and evenly as far as possible.

3. When the low temperature is late in winter, reduce the temperature in the group as far as possible, expand the space in the hive, such as empty relay box, widen the bee path to 1.2 cm, or even wider, reduce the density of workers and facilitate heat dissipation.

4. shade the beehive to avoid direct sunlight or gradually move to a shady place to reduce the temperature of the hive.

5. The beehive door shifts from the sun to the back sun to avoid direct sunlight and stimulate the colony.
