Technical measures to increase the yield of royal jelly

Increasing the yield of royal jelly is an important guarantee to improve the economic benefit of beekeeping. The following five technical measures should be taken to increase the output of royal jelly.

1. Cultivate a strong group so that the potential of the group can reach more than 12 frames.

In honeybees, royal jelly is secreted by young bees and is the main food for queen bees and bee larvae. Therefore, in order to increase the yield of royal jelly, there must be more strong colonies of young bees, and the production of royal jelly must be adjusted in time. If there are only 6-7 frame-footed wasps, the high yield of royal jelly cannot be obtained. For this reason, it is necessary to increase the number of young bees and make the honeybee population grow to more than 12 frames of foot bees, so as to lay a good foundation for increasing royal jelly production.

two。 Prepare enough suitable age honeybee larvae to ensure the transfer of insects.

To produce royal jelly in large quantities, a lot of bee larvae are needed. Generally speaking, for each royal jelly frame moved, there must be at least hundreds of appropriate age bee larvae. If you look for them temporarily before moving the worm, it will take time and it will be difficult to find enough. Therefore, 5-6 days before each planned migration, empty spleen should be added to the newly grouped honeybee or double queen colony to allow the queen bee to lay eggs. In this way, by the time the worm is transferred, most of the larvae are the right instar larvae within 24 hours. Not only the number of larvae is large and the age is the same, the larvae in one frame can move more than 6 frames of royal jelly frame, but also the speed of worm transfer is accelerated, there is no need for temporary search, and time is saved. Work efficiency has been improved.

3. Carry out reward feeding to stimulate the enthusiasm of worker bees to secrete plasma

The production of royal jelly mainly depends on the amount of jelly secreted by worker bees. In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of worker bees to secrete plasma, the bee colony should be rewarded and fed. The reward feeding time is the night before the pulp is taken. At this time, even in the honey period, if you encounter insufficient honey sources or insufficient storage of honey and powder, you must also be rewarded and fed.

4. Adhere to timely collection of jelly to prevent bee larvae from eating more royal jelly

For the royal jelly secreted by young bees, if the pulp is taken too late and the honeybee larvae grow up, it is necessary to increase the consumption and reduce the yield of royal jelly. Therefore, the timely pulping time can be taken within 68-72 hours after the honeybee larvae are moved in, and scraping royal jelly can be arranged after 9 o'clock in the morning. Pulping should be scraped carefully to prevent larval body fluid from mixing into royal jelly, causing bubbling of royal jelly and affecting the quality.

5. Combined with feeding a large amount of sugar to prolong the production period of royal jelly

The production time of royal jelly is directly related to the yield. Therefore, in order to prolong the pulp production period, we can seize the auxiliary honey powder source and the honey-free period at the end of the honey period, combined with a large amount of sugar feeding, so that the production period of royal jelly can be effectively prolonged to increase the pulp yield.
