Four key points of beekeeping in early autumn

Summer and autumn (early autumn) hot weather, bee labor intensity, life greatly shortened, queen eggs reduced, the number of bee deaths is greater than the number of births, the general trend of decline. If the management is slightly poor, the bee count will drop below 40%, so that it is impossible to produce royal jelly. Therefore, summer and autumn beekeeping should do the following four points:

1. Use high-quality new king to lay eggs to expand egg circle and accelerate the reproduction of new bees.

2. The bee farm should choose a place with air circulation and shade or cover the beehive with straw curtain to prevent the sun from increasing the nest temperature and making the bee colony uneasy; enlarge the nest door to make the air in the box circulate. When the weather is too hot, spray cold water outside the box to feed cold boiled water; for crowded bee colonies, add a relay box early, increase empty nest spleen and nest base frame, and expand the hive; use young bees to produce royal jelly.

3. To prevent pesticide poisoning, frequent pesticide application in farmland in summer and autumn should be controlled. If poisoning is found, the poisonous feed on the spleen of the nest can be eliminated first, and then the honey and water is 1:4 thin honey solution or licorice soup can be fed. If it is organophosphorus poisoning, atropine should also be used for treatment. 0.3 kg of honey water mixed with 2 ml of atropine sulfate should be sprayed directly on the bees to let the bees suck each other to achieve the purpose of rescue.

Fourth, insist on reward feeding to stimulate the queen bee egg laying and worker bee parenting enthusiasm, every evening when the weather turns cool, to feed bees with dilute syrup. In order to prevent feeding alarm bees, can be self-made rectangular shallow plate into the box feeding. If there is insufficient feed in the nest, feed it once with concentrated syrup, and then reward it day by day.
