Can you really make money by raising wasps?

Wasps belong to the general term of completely metamorphosed insects of the Wasp family, also known as wasps, wasps, grass bees, etc., and experience four stages of eggs, larvae, pupae and adults throughout their lives. Each bee colony is composed of queen bees, worker bees and drones. At present, its use is mainly in biological control, medicine and food. Let's take a look at whether raising wasps can make money.

Can Wasps Really Make Money?

Wasps can make money, but how to raise them is the main problem. Wasp farming is a new type of industry, but also a very dangerous industry, because wasp stings are very powerful, do not do well easy to kill people. At present, wasp is mainly used in biological control, medicine and food, especially in food, which has become a kind of excellent product given or sold by folk in Tang Dynasty. In addition, wasp larvae and pupae are also a good raw material for cosmetics, so the development and utilization of wasp resources have broad application prospects and economic value.

What species of wasps are there?

1. Queen bee: After a period of activity and supplementary nutrition, the queen bee after wintering searches for a relatively sunny and sheltered place to nest, lays the first generation eggs while nesting, and is also responsible for all the work such as defending the enemy, hunting food, breeding the first generation larvae, etc.

2. Male wasps: male wasps are produced from eggs laid by individuals who have not mated and inseminated in the second generation of female bees. They can mate with a few female bees in the same nest or different nests, and can also mate with female bees of the same generation or female generation. They die one after another shortly after mating.

3. Worker bees: Worker bees are responsible for all internal and external work of the bee colony. The first generation of adult bees are all worker bees who serve as internal and external work. Most of the second generation female bees are worker bees except a few female bees who successfully mate into new queens and individual female bees who lay male eggs without mating.

Efficient culture technology of wasp

1, domestication cage: in the field with wood construction frame is domesticated cage, the lower part buried in the soil, with wooden stakes and iron wire cage fixed, the top and all around are nylon gauze, one side has zipper opening for personnel to enter and exit, at the same time in the cage to cultivate cabbage caterpillar as wasp feed.

2. Capture and domestication: capture wild female bees with self-made bee catching net. Wave the bee catching net when there are wasps flying in the field in spring. After the bees enter the net, put them into the domestication cage, let the wasps fly out, and feed clean water and liquid feed in the cage at the same time.

3. Hanging beehives: put water and liquid feed into bottles and invert them in glass dishes covered with absorbent filter paper or absorbent cotton. Wasps can ingest through filter paper or absorbent cotton that absorbs enough water. According to the number of female bees caught, empty hives were hung for wasps to build nests.

4. Feeding management: With the continuous increase of bee colonies and larvae, there should be enough supply of cabbage caterpillar, otherwise it will cause wasps to eat larvae. When the first generation of adult bees emerge, the hive can be moved out of the cage and moved to the field without feeding, allowing them to prey on various pests.

5. Overwintering management: when the temperature is below 6℃, the wasps will form a group, and the hive should be moved into a dry and ventilated vacancy for overwintering. When the temperature rises above 6℃, it begins to disperse and can be moved into the bee cage again. When the temperature is stable above 13℃, it should be fed.
