Production measures of beeswax

According to the ability to secrete beeswax, 20,000 bees can secrete about 1 kilogram of beeswax in their lifetime. A strong group can secrete 5-7.5 kg of beeswax in spring and summer. The output of beeswax can be increased by taking appropriate measures.

1. Create more new spleen

The old nest spleen is the main raw material for making beeswax. More elimination of old spleen, more production of new spleen, resulting in a new spleen can produce 50-70 grams of wax. 30% of the old spleen should be eliminated every year.

2. Widen Bee Road

In the big flow honey period, widen the bee path between the honey spleen, the bee will thicken the honey spleen, when taking honey, cut off the thickened part with the honey cover, can increase the production of beeswax.

3. Adding wax frame

The wax collecting frame can be remade with nest frame. Nail a crossbeam at the height of 2 inch 3 of the nest frame, then remove the upper beam, nail an iron frame lug at the top of each side of the strip, and place the movable frame beam on the tin frame ear. The upper part of the beam is used to collect wax. as long as a narrow nest foundation is glued under the upper beam, the bees will soon make a natural spleen and continue to let the bees make the spleen after harvest. A nest foundation is set under the crossbeam, and the built nest and spleen can be used to store honey and breed insects. According to the strength of the colony and the conditions of the honey source, each colony can place 1-3 wax collecting frames between the honey spleen.

4. Daily accumulation

In the production of royal jelly, the wax bowl should be replaced if it is used continuously for 7 times. When royal jelly is harvested every time, some beeswax can also be obtained by flattening the mouth of Wang Tai. Always collect superfluous spleen, wax shavings, male hive cover and unused Wangtai when checking and adjusting bee colonies. Pay attention to daily accumulation. A swarm of bees can receive an extra 50,200 grams of beeswax a year.
