Winter management measures of Chinese honeybee promote the high yield of honey

Bees

Winter is the period of flowering and nectar flow of sweet-scented osmanthus and Yabazi with high quality. If the honey flow condition is good and the bee colony is strong, better economic benefits can be achieved.

The main results are as follows: 1. Before the big flow honey period, the weak colony of honeybees merged into the medium group or the strong group to form a strong gathering cluster, which was beneficial to the high yield of honey.

2. The beehive is placed in a place where the wind is facing the sun and the sun is long. During the honey season, the external heat preservation of the colony should be strengthened at night, such as covered with plastic sheeting to reduce the consumption of honey by bees maintaining a constant temperature. Remove the plastic sheeting in the morning.

3. Honey can be taken every 8 times every 10 days, or more than 1/3 of the cover in the upper honey room.

4. the honey source is close to the end, that is, stop collecting honey.

5. Due to the low temperature in winter, honeybees need to consume more sugar to maintain a constant nest temperature. Bees with less honey should be fed with sugar at a ratio of 1.5 kilograms of sugar to 1 jin of water to prevent bees from starving to death.
