How many bees are there in a nest, and how many bees are in a hive

Is four or five hundred a swarm of bees?

It's too many to count, and it depends on how big the nest is.

The number of bees in a hive varies depending on factors such as region, season, species, and hive size, making it difficult to calculate accurately.

In general, each hive has an average of 3 spleens in spring, about 1,200 bees per spleen, for a total of about 3,600 bees.

In summer, due to the hot weather, the number of worker bees decreases, generally only 2 spleens, about 1000 bees per spleen, a total of about 2000 bees.

In autumn and winter, due to the lack of nectar, the number of worker bees also decreases, generally only 1 spleen, about 800 bees per spleen, a total of about 800 bees.

Therefore, there are about 1000-3600 bees in a hive.

I'll tell you!

The bees first line up, from the top all the way down, the bees are connected with their feet, and then use the collected honey and gum to form bee wax through the action of enzymes in the mouth, and the other bees make the nest into a hexagonal honeycomb on both sides according to the shape of these bees.

A box of bees produces about 20-100 catties a year.

The old-fashioned method of raising honey is taken 1-2 times a year. A nest of bees produces 10-20 catties. The use of square box live frame feeding output can reach 30-80 catties. On average, the yield of bees raised in live boxes is generally between 30-60 catties.

The yield of different honey bee species is not the same, and even the same bee species with different quality yield differences are also very large, at present, China is more common in breeding bees and Italian bees, among them, the bees are mostly fixed-point breeding and relatively weak collection power, a year's output is about 10 catties, but some people will raise bees when they will also make a small transition, a year's output is about 20 catties, and the bees can chase flowers and honey to make use of nectar sources around the country and the collection power is relatively strong, so the annual output is mostly more than 100 catties.

Generally, the number of splenic bees in a strong group of 800 to 1000 is 6 spleens full of boxes, and each swarm is about 5500.

The strength of the bee colony has a lot to do with the bee species. Italian honey bees, for example, can sustain large colonies. The strongest swarm of Italian bees, some of which have as many as 150,000 or 60,000 bees.

A nest of bees can divide several litters a year.

If it is just a pure expansion of bees and does not take honey, then this number will be considerable. Beekeeping friends all understand that if you want bees, you don't have honey, and if you want honey, you don't have bees.

Take the local climate and temperature conditions, and the innate factors of bees in the fixed-point live frame soil rearing, as an example.

From the beginning of spring breeding, the number of bees with three spleens, at the end of March, there will be the first bee split, which can be divided into two, that is, two boxes of bees with three spleens.

In the middle of May, that is, about forty to fifty days, you can divide the second bee, which is about three spleens, that is, four boxes of bees.

The hornet's nest is relatively large, and the bee's vertical nest is relatively small. Each hole in the hornet's nest is full of eggs, and many small holes in the honeycomb are filled with honey.

The nests of the hornets are hexahedron, and each hole has its own laid eggs, and they are busy building nests and raising offspring every day. Hornet's nest is mainly made of beeswax secreted by wasps. They don't like humans to bother themselves, or they will attack you with poisonous needles, whether accidental or man-made, as long as there is a threat to them.

The picture shows a honeycomb. There are no eggs.

Honey is a sweet substance made by bees collecting nectar from flowers. The amount of yield is affected by a variety of factors, mainly the number of collected bees in the colony, the number of nectar flower sources, the distance between the hive and the flower source, and the influence of weather. The maximum amount of nectar collected by a worker bee is 40mg 45mg, and a strong colony of western honeybees can collect more than 5kg of nectar a day, which can make about 3kg of honey.

Since the bee colony itself also consumes honey, there is not so much honey that can actually be extracted by people.

How much honey can a box of bees produce, in addition to the number of bees, but also depends on the outside honey source, if the outside honey source is good, the harvest is good, a box is about 100 catties, and there is no upper limit; If the nectar source outside is not very good, it will be miserable, and it may have to be fed sugar, or the tens of thousands of bees will starve to death.
