Share the experience of Chinese bee breeding!

Pay attention before reading, so as not to miss tomorrow's bee color!

In the Chinese bee family, the queen bee is privileged all his life and comes out of the box only after mating. The second time out of the box must be nothing good-either surprise or flight; drones are privileged to dominate the world, and all the boxes are unimpeded. They live alone, eating and drinking everywhere in search of happiness. Worker bees are the ones who work hard all their lives from birth to death. Through feeding and observation, I found a lot of interesting things about worker bees.

Example 1:

In the early spring of five years ago, my father divided the bees in the barrel of bees in the soil. In order to cultivate my interest in keeping bees, he intended me to collect the old kings that had just been separated. At that time, I already had some understanding of the breeding theory of Chinese bees. After receiving the old king group, I placed it only 50 meters away from the original group. Look at the original colony, compare the new colony, the two colonies are equal in number.

My father is reluctant to spend money on beekeeping, especially in this season when rape flowers spit powder and flow honey, he is even more reluctant to buy sugar to feed the bees. I got a box of bees and fed them manually at any cost. I inadvertently found that worker bees move between mother and daughter groups and do not fight. The sugar water in the box was consumed quite quickly, and I was overjoyed to see the lively scene at the door of the nest every day.

My wife laughed that I was helping my father feed the bees. Anyway, the father and son were close to each other, and the fat water didn't flow out of the country, so I didn't know it. A week later, I found that the number of 3 spleen bees in the group had increased a lot, so I inserted the empty spleen in time; after another week of feeding, I checked out the box and found that 4 spleen was full, and I inserted another empty spleen. At this time, my father cried out: it turned out that his new king group 3 spleen bees had only a few hundred left.

I found that the worker bees who eat and drink enough in my box every day will go back in the first few days; four or five days later, they are used to the queen's pheromone and mix with the group flavor, so they generally don't go back. Therefore, improving the living standard of the colony is effective to attract the companions of the weak group.

Example 2:

Just after the midsummer of this year, I, who mainly breed bees, began to reward and feed the colonies in order to achieve the goal of rapid reproduction. A bee farmer in the same village moved 7 cases of Chinese bees to a mountain nest less than 200 meters away from our beehive. It is said that thousands of people go up the mountain with thousands of loads of firewood, but I don't bother to offend him verbally. Now that we've put it together, let's compare the technology!

I merged all the small and weak groups into a medium-strong group with a scale of four or five spleen, and increased the reward and feeding. Within a few days, the unfed bees often came to my farm to steal honey and the worker bees could not enter my hive. There are also impatient people who are slammed and beaten, but some living worker bees bribe my gatekeeper bee safely. I let it eat, and the number of bees in these boxes increases rapidly.

Two months later, my beehive was successfully divided into groups in autumn, and the other seven boxes of bees moved back to four empty boxes, while the remaining three boxes of bees were only one or two spleen in size, which was no longer a climate. He sighed and asked, "how do you keep your bees?" My analysis: bees also know that they are greedy for wealth and hate poverty. He has good food and drink, so he is naturally happy in his place.

Example 3:

Recently, on the basis of the success of the bee colony in autumn, according to the actual situation of the tea blossom and pollination period in the place where I live, I divided into two groups of old kings, and intended to let the new kings and the old kings form the number of bees at 3:2, only feeding the new kings, not the old kings, to see the aftereffect. In only 20 days, the old kings were like stars, while the new kings were prosperous and full of vitality. In the case that Lao Wang Qun has no spleen to replenish, it seems that the best choice is to close Lao Wang and spend the winter after the new Wang starts giving birth smoothly.

To sum up, beekeeping is not only skillful but also tactical. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" can also be used in beekeeping. The core idea of Sun Bin, an ancient Chinese strategist, is: "victory and invincibility lie in him, and defeat and invincibility lie in yourself." When used in beekeeping, it means: whether I can keep bees or not is a question of bees; whether the bees are in my home or not is my problem. Rich bees are poor to scrape honey, strong is weak, abundant is apology.
