The knack of shaking honey in the four seasons
The main economic benefit of beekeeping comes from shaking honey. The method of shaking honey varies with the seasons of the year. As far as the Yangtze River Basin is concerned, the basic principles of shaking honey are: early in spring, diligent in summer, stable in autumn and stop in winter.
Spring should be early.
After the beginning of spring, the queen bee begins to lay eggs, worker bees go out to collect, and the enthusiasm of feeding their young rises day by day. Chinese bees, in particular, fly around to collect scattered nectar when the temperature is getting warmer and colder. They generally brewed the first batch of mature honey around the end of March. In addition to breeding and self-feeding, they also had surplus storage, plus overwintering surplus feed, which laid the foundation for shaking honey in early spring. As the number of flowering plants increases one after another in spring, early shaking honey can vacate the honey nest in time, so that there is a nest room for storage when entering the honey, thus stimulating worker bees to actively go out of the nest to collect honey and promote the colony to reproduce and develop as soon as possible. However, the purpose of shaking honey early is not to sweep away the honey, but to save enough food for the bees.
2 be diligent in summer
The number of times of shaking honey in summer should be increased appropriately. Especially in early summer, the main nectar plants blossom and secrete honey one after another, and the field bees enter honey quickly and in large quantities, and the indoor bees process day and night; therefore, they should be diligent in shaking on the premise of ensuring adequate feed honey. For example, during the flowering period of citrus, rape and jujube, honey can be shaken once in 3 to 5 days. Shaking honey diligently can promote worker bees to collect honey actively. After the end of the florescence of the main honey source, it is followed by scattered honey sources, and the interval between shaking honey should be appropriately increased, usually once every 15-20 days. Enter the hot summer season, there are very few flowers, honey can be suspended for a period of time.
3 be stable in autumn and stop in winter
Autumn flowers are obviously less than summer flowers, and the amount of honey collected by worker bees is reduced, so it is necessary to stop shaking honey. The main sources of honey in autumn are buckwheat flowers, wild chrysanthemums and other wild flowers. Second, after autumn is winter, the source of honey is less, the climate is cold, and the number of worker bees coming out of the nest is reduced, so it is necessary to think of enough feed for bees to shake honey in autumn. The storage of overwintering feed would rather leave more surplus, not less and scarce, otherwise it will add a lot of trouble to the overwintering management, and even cause losses to the bee colony. Taking the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River as an example, the overwintering feed of Chinese bees can store 400 tons of honey per spleen, while that of western bees is much more. take 5 spleen as an example, each group needs 12~15kg, that is, it is necessary to prepare 5-6 honey spleen to meet its overwintering needs.

Key points of mulberry feeding technique for co-breeding of young silkworms
In the process of co-rearing of young silkworms, it is the key to ensure the healthy and orderly development of young silkworms to master the mulberry feeding technology and control the nutrition. Select mulberry leaves according to the leaf standard of each instar silkworm, select them in the field and select leaves in the tree. Select nontoxic, pollution-free, non-insect mouth, upper shoots suitable ripe leaves. Second selection before mulberry adjustment, removing old, tender, wilting, secondary pollution and other substandard mulberry leaves. It is very important to keep mulberry leaves fresh and water sufficient in the process of adjusting mulberry leaves and storing mulberry leaves. There is low temperature fresh water storage mulberry

Production technology of royal jelly
1. The basic requirements for the production of pollution-free royal jelly 1. The environment of the beehive requires that the breeding and production sites of royal jelly production must be far away from seriously polluted urban areas. heavy industrial areas, chemical plants, pesticide plants, garbage treatment and landfill plants, sewage treatment plants, orchards and agricultural areas where pesticides are often sprayed to prevent indirect pollution of royal jelly. And there should be rich honey powder sources and auxiliary honey powder sources. 2. The royal jelly production site requires royal jelly as a direct edible food, and its production process should be in line with food hygiene.
