Production technology of royal jelly

I. basic requirements for the production of pollution-free royal jelly

1. Environmental requirements of the beehive

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 from the environment. And there should be rich honey powder sources and auxiliary honey powder sources.

2. requirements for the production site of royal jelly

As a direct edible food, the production process of royal jelly should meet the basic requirements of food production. The transfer room for the production of royal jelly should be clean and hygienic, the mobile beehive, the production tent should be sanitary and clean, away from garbage stacking places, toilets, dung tanks, etc.

3. Staff requirements

The staff engaged in the production of royal jelly should be healthy, free from infectious diseases, have good personal hygiene habits and have regular physical examinations. In the production process of royal jelly, the staff should wear clean overalls and keep their hands and clothes clean.

4. Requirements for royal jelly production appliances

The production should be prepared before the production of royal jelly

Pulp frame plastic king platform needle cutting table knife tweezers pulp board pulp storage bottle alcohol towel Wang tai cleaner pulp frame, etc.

The pulping utensils should be cleaned before and after pulping and sterilized with 75% alcohol.

II. Management of bee colony in royal jelly production

1. Bee species

The germplasm of bee colony in royal jelly production is closely related to the yield and quality of royal jelly. When selecting bee species to produce royal jelly, we should not only consider its royal jelly yield, but also its royal jelly quality, disease resistance, honey collection ability and so on.

2. The king of production

Generally speaking, the queen bee of 2-18 months old has strong fecundity, and the queen bee of this month should be selected for reproduction and production. The queen bee has bright color, steady action and large individual. Only when such queen bee is used as queen bee, can a large number of suitable age feeding bees be bred.

3. Production bee colony

During the production period, there should be a large number of 8-20-day-old feeding bees in the production colony, the colony potential should be more than 8-foot frame, and the honey powder feed in the colony should be sufficient. Reward feeding should be started 50 days before the arrival of the production period to stimulate the queen bee to lay more eggs and to stimulate worker bees to actively breed insects so as to make the colony strong as soon as possible.

(1) the organization of the pulp-producing bee colony.

In order to produce royal jelly, it is necessary to organize jelly-producing bee colony. The method is to divide the bee colony into breeding area and production area with royal board. In the production area, there are 1 / 2 honey powder spleen, 1 / 2 larval spleen, the rest are lid spleen, and the pulp collection frame is inserted between larva spleen and honey powder spleen or capping spleen. In the breeding area, the spleen, empty spleen, pupa spleen, honey powder spleen, which are about to come out of the room, make the spleen of the producing colony commensurate or slightly more than the spleen.

(2) Management of bee colony in royal jelly production.

At the beginning of the production of royal jelly, the colony was weak, and the number of Wang Taiji should be appropriate. After the development and growth of the bee colony, the base will be increased quantitatively according to the colony potential. The population of royal jelly production should be properly dense, and the bee is slightly more than the spleen.

In the hot season, pay attention to sunshade or put the colony in the shade, expand the nest door, open the screen window at the bottom of the box and the vent on the lid of the box. In times of high temperature and drought, cover the iron gauze lid with a wet cloth or hand towel at 11:00 and 2pm every day, or add a feeder to feed water in the nest so as to absorb water to cool down and maintain humidity in the nest.

Check and adjust the colony every 5-7 days. During the inspection and adjustment, the newly sealed spleen and 1 / 2 larval spleen in the breeding area were transferred to the production area, and the spleen that was leaving the house in the production area was transferred to the breeding area. During the inspection, pay attention to clear the natural royal platform, so as to avoid the natural distribution of bees and affect the acceptance rate of the royal platform.

(3) Management of donor colony.

The donor colony is a colony that provides the same age and healthy disease-free larvae for the production of royal jelly. The best donor colony is a dedicated colony. The colony potential is 3-4 frame-footed bees, with 3-4 spleen, a honey powder spleen, an old mature spleen, and a new and old suitable empty spleen. The empty spleen was inserted into the donor bee colony 5 days in advance, and the queen bee put forward the spleen 5 days after spawning, which could be used as a transfer worm. When the larvae were transferred, most of the larvae of the spleen were 12-36 hours old. A middle-aged seal lid spleen is transferred every 1-2 weeks to make new bees come out of the nest all the time, so as to ensure the group potential and feeding ability of the donor group.

III. The process of producing royal jelly

The production of royal jelly is generally carried out according to the following procedures

1. Install Wang Tai Tiao

Before the royal jelly production starts, the platform base bar is bound with iron wire or glued to the platform base lath of the slurry frame, and then the slurry frame installed with the platform base bar is inserted into the production group for workers to clean the platform base.

2. Migratory worm

Take out the prepared larval spleen from the donor group, shake off the bees on the spleen, hold the larval spleen with a tray, remove the larvae from the hive within 12-36 hours with a transplanter needle, and gently place them at the bottom of the platform, one larva for each king.

3. The box below

The pulp frame of the removed worm is temporarily placed in the pulp box, covered with clean wet towels or gauze, and inserted into the pulp frame reserved in the production group in time. After inserting the pulp frame for 3-5 hours, check the acceptance of Wangtai, check the survival rate of Wangtai larvae, replace the larvae in time if not accepted, and check again the next morning.

4. Pest detection

Three days after the worm transfer, lift the plasma collection frame from the colony, gently shake off the bees on the frame, and then sweep the bees with a bee sweep. Use a clean table cutter to cut off the wax wall on the upper part of the table base. When cutting the table, make the table mouth flat and do not cut the larvae. Gently pick up the larvae in the king's base with sterilized tweezers, be careful not to break the larvae and prevent wax shavings from falling into royal jelly.

5. Pulping

After the work of picking up insects is completed, the royal jelly in the royal jelly is removed as far as possible with a clean pulp extraction board, and the royal jelly is temporarily stored in the pulp bottle.

6. Clear the platform

The accepted platform can continue to move worms, and there is often extra wax in the unaccepted plastic foundation. After the foundation is cleaned with a Wang Tai cleaner, it is moved into the appropriate instar larvae and put into the next round of pulping production.

7. Preservation of royal jelly

After the royal jelly is harvested, immediately seal the bottle containing royal jelly, label it with weight, date of production, place of origin and flower species, and put it in the refrigerator or freezer as soon as possible. If there is no refrigerator or freezer, it should be sent to the purchasing unit for sale as soon as possible.

Technical measures for high quality and high yield of royal jelly

1. Adopt high quality and high yield bee species of royal jelly.

The production performance and quality of royal jelly are different according to the variety of royal jelly colony. The queen bee for seed use should introduce the queen bee of high quality and high yield of royal jelly from the breeding unit and cultivate the king for production.

2. Select healthy strong groups to produce royal jelly.

The production of bee colonies should be healthy and free from infectious diseases. The breeding and management of the production colony should be strengthened to maintain the proper density of bees in the colony. The royal jelly production group stopped using bee medicine six weeks before the start of royal jelly production. The production group should remain strong, and there should always be a certain number of 8-20-day-old feeding bees in the group.

3. Make use of the honey period to produce royal jelly.

When there is a large flow of honey from the outside, the field bees collect a large amount of fresh pollen and honey to stimulate the activity of feeding royal jelly glands, and adequate nutrition can improve the ability of feeding bees to secrete royal jelly, so the amount of royal jelly secreted is large and the quality is high. Royal jelly production beehive, we should seize this favorable opportunity to actively produce royal jelly.

4. Keep the production group with sufficient feed

If there is not enough feed in the colony, worker bees will use their nutritional reserves, and the quality of royal jelly secreted is poor. The royal jelly production group should always keep more than 4kg stored honey and more than 1 frame of pollen spleen. When the storage capacity is not reached, it should be replenished in time.

5. Quantitative group setting platform

In the production of royal jelly, the average pulp quantity per unit should be above 250mg. When the general honey source condition is good, 90,150 Wang Taiji are used for 8: 11 bee colony, 150 Wang Taiji for 12: 14 bee colony, and 200 Wang Taiji for more than 15 bee colony.

6. Strictly control the age of migratory worms

In Natural King Taichung, at 96 hours of age after egg hatching, Wang Taichung accumulated the most royal jelly and the best quality. Therefore, when the pulping period is 3 days, the larval instar of the busy production of royal jelly should be 1 day old. The daily age of larvae should be strictly controlled in the range of 12-36 hours. Only in this way can the royal jelly produced have high output and good quality.
