Where is the best place to dig a bee trap? Is it better to trap beeholes or beehives?

Bee trap is quite popular beekeeper way to trap bees, not only in the production of beetraps is much simpler than beetraps, and can almost do a dig for life, but bee traps can not be dug everywhere, digging the wrong location is very likely to not be able to lure bees, let's take a look at where the bee trap hole is dug in well!

First, the source of honey is abundant

Nectar source is the basis for bee nesting survival and reproduction, in fact, wild bee colonies will build nests in places where nectar sources are abundant, and it is difficult to attract bee colonies if there are few or even no nectar sources nearby, so bee traps must be dug in those places where nectar sources are abundant, especially when there are several large flowering periods nearby and continuous small flowering periods are most suitable for digging holes to lure bees.

Second, the environment is quiet

Bees like to build their nests in quiet places, and it is difficult to attract bee colonies even if there is a rich nectar source in too noisy places, so bee traps must be dug in those places with quiet environments, and it is not easy to dig in noisy places such as sand and gravel farms and breeding farms, such as the quiet valley on both sides and the halfway up the mountain with fewer people.

Third, the sign is obvious

Bees like to build nests in places with obvious signs, because bees need to fly away from the hive when collecting food, and these markers are conducive to locating the location of the hive, such as large trees or large stones in open areas, piles of rocks in dense forests, etc., these special places can be found at a glance from a long distance, so bee traps should be dug in these relatively conspicuous places.

Fourth, shelter from the wind and sun

Bees like to build their nests in sheltered from the wind and sun, in fact, few bee colonies build nests in strong winds, and rarely build nests in dark and damp places, so when digging bee traps, these habits of bees should be fully considered, for example, the shelter under the raised mountain is very suitable for bees, it is worth noting that the sun does not refer to a long period of exposure to the sun.

Summary: The location of the bee trap is the key to whether the bee can be lured, if the location is right, it is easy to attract bees, and even a bee trap can attract multiple groups of bees, and to determine the location to analyze the habits of bees, so mastering the habits of bees is the basis of bee trapping.

Generally, it is better to dig in some cliffs or in some soil, as well as in trees, these places can attract bees very well, and can also attract a large number of bees.

Many farmers will choose some places with abundant honey sources, or the environment is relatively quiet, sheltered from the wind and sun.

It needs to be carried out in a quiet place, and it can be carried out in a place with a rich nectar source, so that the effect will be better.

Bee trap and beehive are the two main ways to trap bees, among which bee trap refers to digging a hole in a suitable place to trap bees, and beetrap hive refers to artificially making beehives to trap bee colonies, but there has been controversy about the good effect of bee trapping in that method, so let's take a look at whether the bee trap hole is good or a beehive!

First, the difficulty of production

Bee trap refers to digging a hole in a suitable place to trap bees, and can also use those naturally formed burrows to trap bees, beetrap hives refer to beehives made of wood to lure bees, especially the old beehives that have been used are most suitable for bee traps, so the bee trap hole is simpler in terms of difficulty to make, only a hoe or shovel can be excavated, and beetraps need to be made of wood artificially.

2. Terrain restrictions

In fact, not all bee trap treasure land can dig holes, such as on the stone wall or rock, and the bee trap does not have these restrictions, almost all places can be placed bee traps, and when the bees can not be trapped, they can also move to other places to continue to trap bees, so it is much more convenient to trap bees from the perspective of terrain restrictions.

3. Service life

The bee trap can basically be dug once for a lifetime, unless it is dug in those places that are easy to be washed by the landscape, and the bee trap is almost all made of wood, the wood itself has a certain service life, plus the sun and rain outside for many years, it can no longer be used after three or five years, so the bee trap hole has an advantage over the bee trap in terms of service life.

Fourth, the effect of bee trapping

Bee trap and beehive are both for trapping bee colonies, so the bee trap effect is the most powerful basis for judging, but the bee trap effect of the two varies from person to person in addition to local conditions, for novices, the effect of bee trap may be better, because the trap bee hole is concealed and closer to nature, and for the master, the bee trap efficiency is higher than that of the bee trap.

Summary: There is no definite answer to whether the bee trap is better or the beehive, although the difficulty and service life of the bee trap are advantageous, but the bee trap is almost not limited by the terrain when placed, and the bee trap effect of both actually depends on whether it can be adapted to local conditions.

I think it's better to trap bee holes, which are more natural and can attract honey highly, and will not make honey very vigilant.

are relatively good, this should be judged according to the specific location and the specific link.

The hole is better, and the odds of success are particularly high, and the difficulty of making is very small.

Is this nest of bees affecting you? If it doesn't affect it, don't make it out! If it affects it, it can be smoked (but be careful to prevent fire).

The stone cave and the tree hole are difficult to dig, and the bottle of Pinduoduo (leading bee repellent medicine) is poured into it and it will come out after a while.

1. Select the location of the bee trap.

We chose a sunny day and we came out to find this place to dig a bee hole. We find a kind of fault slope, like this kind of place, find a big tree under the place, need to have obvious markers, start to dig bee traps, dig bee traps as far as possible above the soil slope, do not dig at the bottom of the soil slope, because if you dig at the bottom of the soil slope, if it rains heavily, it may be collapsed, and water may enter. So we're now under this big tree, and we're starting to dig this bee trap.

2. Precautions for digging bee holes.

Digging a bee hole is a great test of our physical strength, usually it takes more than an hour, and we need to rest if our hands are numb in the middle. After it was made, we could see that the bee trap was almost as big as a basketball. Then after digging, the most critical step, pay attention!

We must burn it with fire, we must use fire on the mountain, we must pay attention to safety, why do we have to burn it after digging? Because the soil in the bee trap is relatively wet, only if it continues to burn for about 20 minutes, the mud inside will be burned hard, just like the principle of burning bricks, in the process of burning, you must add the old honeycomb of bees. After the old nest bark is burned like this, there will be a smell of beeswax in the bee trap burrow.

You can apply some beeswax oil to the wind tunnel to attract honey and also allow honey to build nests faster.

To dig a hole with a Luoyang shovel. Then, after reinforcement, the board is waxed and placed on top, with the beeswax side facing down, so that bees can be attracted.

Bee traps can place bee trap water at the entrance of the hole. The old nest spleen is boiled and filtered with water, and then the filtrate is precipitated for more than 24 hours, and then the eliminated old queen bee is soaked in alcohol for more than ten days, and after soaking, the filtrate, queen bee soaking and honey are mixed well, and placed in an open container, and can be used to lure bees after the alcohol volatilizes.

How to use bee trap water.

Put the bee trap water into the sprayer, and then spray it on the flowers and plants, or smear the bee trap water in the bee cage, the bees will naturally drill into it after smelling, the bee trap water should be used when there is a lack of nectar source, if it is the flowering season, the outside honey source is sufficient, the bee trap water is difficult to play an effect, the bee trap water should not be used in a place with a bee farm, otherwise it will only help others to feed the bees, before using the bee trap water, you should investigate the surrounding environment in advance, if you find that there are wild bees infested, You can spray some bee trap water in a higher place to avoid ants, and after the wild bees have eaten the bee trap water, they will bring the swarm with them.

Bees in nature mostly live in some tree holes, and people need certain skills to bring them home.

The collection of bee colonies in the tree hole, when collecting the bees in the tree hole, you can first hit the trunk with a stone or a hoe, listen to the bees in the tree hole, observe the entrance and exit of the bees in the trunk, if there are multiple holes, leave two small holes up and down, and the other holes are blocked with thin mud, hang a bag in the hole above, make the bag mouth close to the hole, and then spray smoke from the bottom to the top to expel the bees from the tree hole, and can only fly out of the hole above and fly directly into the bag, so that you can quickly collect the bees. Then the queen bee should be found and put in the hive, so that more bees can be retained, the colony will not be scattered, and more bees will not be lost.

Quickly collect the bees in the tree hole: plug the holes in the tree hole with thin mud, leaving only the upper and lower two small holes, and then hang a bag in the upper hole, and spray smoke from the bottom to the top to expel the bees from the tree hole, so that the bees can be quickly collected.
