What are the reasons why bees love to run away in summer?

Recently, many friends have asked me why my bees are running away every day these days, if you are learning to breed bees. So it's important for you, remember to collect it in**, when you have confusion about beekeeping, why do your bees always like to run away, and now it has entered the summer, which is the most difficult season of the year for our beekeepers to keep bees. So, what are the main reasons for bees to flee in summer?

The first reason for escape is a chronic lack of honey, which leads to the instability of the bee colony. Then, after the queen bee has been broken for a long time, the whole colony does not have any active working state. The swarm will want to escape, but it can't fly out when it's raining outside, so its emotions will be suppressed until one day the sky suddenly clears up and the sun shines.

Then, the swarm of bees flew away.

The second reason for escaping is that many friends did not cut off the skin of their nest before spending the summer. In the summer season, there is a lack of powder and honey, and the hive does not produce many children, and the old nest skin is empty, which leads to the nest insects taking advantage of the weakness, resulting in the breeding of nest insects and the outbreak of the entire nest skin, which is uninhabitable. Well, the bees will also fly away.

The third reason for escaping is that your bee colony has been exposed to the sun under the hive, without doing any heat and sun protection work, our little bees have their own thermostatic system, if the temperature in the hive is too high, it will fly out, fan the wind at the door, tread water, to reduce the temperature of our hive. Due to long-term exposure to the sun, the temperature in the nest will soar, which will cause the bees to exhaust their physical strength, and the desperate fanning will lead to the consumption of life, resulting in the inability of the bee colony to live here, and will fly away directly due to the influence of the environment.

The fourth reason for escape is that summer and autumn are the most rampant seasons for natural predators, wasps and wasps. During this time, if the bees you breed are a deer colony, then this group of bees will be bullied by wasps every day, and they will come to your door every day to eat this bee, and the big black hornets will come to the hive every day to eat bees. As a result, the bees do not dare to come out at all.

Under the threat of long-term predators, the colony is forced to choose a new place to live. What causes the swarm to flee. Far more than that, for example, frogs eat bees at night, and geckos, spiders, cockroaches and other hazards, including ants, can cause bee colonies to flee.

In summer, bees may be frightened, or it may be that the weather is too hot to cause them to escape.

High hive temperature: Beekeepers know that bee colonies are kept at a constant temperature of 34-35 degrees Celsius. Lack of hive food. Hive pests are rampant, and if a wax borer successfully lays eggs in the nest spleen, there will be a large number of nest worms in the next few days.

In summer, bees love to run away because the temperature is too high, and the inside of the hive is too stuffy, and there is no nectar to collect nearby, so the bees will escape, and this can also happen in winter.

The reason why bees flee is because of the lack of pollen nectar sources in the outside world; Pests and diseases, wasp hazards, and environmental hazards.

1. Lack of pollen nectar source in the outside world.

Bees eat pollen and honey to survive, and if there is a shortage of pollen and nectar sources from the outside world, the bees will quickly eat up the stored honey. When the bees have no food, they will flee. The solution to this phenomenon is to feed them honey, which can be replaced with sugar and honey.

2. Pests and diseases, wasp damage.

The bee's body is very weak, which means that it is less able to resist the outside world. Once it encounters the harm of natural enemies, the entire nest spleen will rot, and there will be a phenomenon of netting. Bees can't survive, so they flee in search of a new hive.

The solution to this phenomenon is actually simple, regularly clean the nest spleen, cultivate a strong colony, and improve the resilience of bees. When there are larvae, they should be placed in the beehive to prevent the wasps from entering the beehive.

3. Environmental hazards.

If the outside temperature is too high, the queen bee will stop laying eggs, the worker bees will not go out to collect honey, and there is a peculiar smell in the beehive, which will cause the bees to be unable to adapt to the current environment and flee. There is also a loud noise from the outside world, which will also make the bees flee. Faced with this situation, when we choose a beekeeping site, we need to find a quiet, comfortable environment to raise bees.

In addition, in the process of beekeeping, it is necessary to be very diligent and clean the beehives in time.

If you have fled the farthest distance due to lack of bee food, it is usually between 2 and 5 kilometers;

If it is because the enemy is very fierce, it is forced to flee, such as a wasp.

When the natural predators enter the nest and are not prepared, they usually fly to a relatively close tree to form a group, but they will fly away again after less than 1 hour, and this type of flight distance is far and near, 50 meters away, and kilometers away.

Bees escape due to pests and diseases and lack of food.

1. Pest and disease infestation.

Bees to escape may be the cause of pest and disease infestation, in the beekeeping process of the bee colony is prone to a variety of pests and diseases, such as nest insects, bee mites, etc., the appearance of pests and diseases will seriously interfere with the normal life of the bee colony, resulting in bees escaping.

In addition, enemies such as ants, Hu Feng, toads, and rats will also bring great harm to the bee colony, forcing bees to abandon their nests and flee, so beekeeping should do a good job in the prevention and prevention of pests and diseases.

2. Lack of food.

If there is a lack of nectar plants and there is no honey storage in the beehive, then the bees will flee in whole groups in order to survive. In addition, if other bees steal honey during the honey shortage season, it will also cause the stolen bees to escape.

Tips for bee farming

It is important to choose a colony before raising bees, as not all bees are suitable for breeding locally, and some places may not be suitable for breeding bees.

In order to improve the success rate of bee breeding, we must first understand the local natural environment, choose local bee species for breeding, and then choose bees that are suitable for natural growth in the local environment.

A basic condition for breeding bees is to choose a suitable beehive, which should be selected with a relatively solid material and a lighter texture, because the beehive is generally placed in the open air, and the basic life of the bee is spent in the beehive. In addition, for novices who have just raised bees, in order to have a sharp change in the nest spleen, convenient management and honey extraction, you should choose a live frame beehive.

1.There is no pollen nectar source in the outside world. Bees survive by collecting pollen and honey, and if bees don't have pollen and honey to eat, their survival is threatened by the dust and they will flee to places where there is a source of pollen and honey.

2.Pest. Vespas are very harmful to bees, wasps prey on bees, and attacking bees' hives can also make bees surround the king, or the queen bee will stop laying eggs and run away.

The nest insect type is sold, and the harm of the nest insect is generally caused by the insufficient number of bees and the spleen of the old nest, and when the bees can no longer control the harm of the nest insects, they will run away. Rotten disease. The larvae of the bees are rotten, and the rotting bee larvae can be seen in the nest, and the eggs can only be seen on the spleen of the nest if the rotten seeds have been sick for a long time.

And ants, etc.

3.Beehives have a peculiar smell. New beehives often have the smell of wood, especially fir beehives, if the smell is very serious, they will be used directly by the bees, which will cause the bee colony to escape.

4.Frequent check-ups. Opening the hive several times a day to check on the bees interferes with the bees' work and affects the temperature inside the hive.

5.Temperature. The weather is too hot, the temperature in the hive is too high, and the worker bees leave the spleen, which will also cause the queen bee to stop laying eggs, which will cause the bee colony to escape.

6.Cut honey. In particular, the traditional cultivation of the sect is cultivated. When cutting honey, it hurts the bees too much, and it also hurts the spleen too much, and it will also cause the bee colony to escape.

It is necessary to pay attention to the management of sealing, and must pay attention to the problem of honey source, and it is necessary to breed in places where the honey source is relatively sufficient.

You can strengthen the application of beeswax, but also strengthen the attention to the beehive, but also pay attention to the way of management, you can also eat more honey, pay attention to waterproof and moisture-proof.

It may be mismanaged, or it may be that you are not baiting bees, you can apply a little beeswax to the hive, and the effect will be good.

Normal swarm escape, mainly occurs in the bee swarm stage, due to the strong swarm of bees, the beehive is crowded, the hive temperature is high, the queen bee aging group control ability is reduced, etc., the worker bees will have the problem of the king-making platform swarm escape. Therefore, during the bee splitting period, we should pay attention to the observation of the bee exhibition, and find that the male bee spleen and the king platform should be dealt with in time, and the drone spleen and king platform can be cut off in the early stage to delay the bee division, and the artificial grouping method can be adopted in the later stage to reduce the natural grouping of bees to escape. Pests and diseases cause escape, bee pests and diseases can occur all year round, can cause bees to escape is mainly the irreversible pests and diseases of the bee colony itself, such as the more common rot disease of bees, nest insect damage, etc., in the case of these problems are more serious, bees will abandon the nest and run away, this situation is actually a helpless choice made by bees for self-protection.

Therefore, beekeeping is still more important to prevent pests and diseases, and bees without pests and diseases will basically not run away. As long as we pay more attention to the bee exhibition, activity trajectory, and surrounding environment, although we cannot completely eliminate the escape of bees, we can reduce the problem of most bees escaping.

It is very likely that it is affected by the virus, and sometimes the virus is seriously threatened, and the bees will abandon the nest and flee. It is necessary to carry out disinfection and sterilization in time, and also use chemicals in time, so as to kill germs.

Of course, I know that escaping is caused by insufficient food, and simply increasing the amount of feeding can reduce the likelihood of escaping.

The main reasons for the escape of bees are as follows:

1. When the bee colony is too large or the queen is aging, the worker bees will build a hive "Wangtai" specially designed to breed the queen bee, and the larvae hatched by Li Yin, the fertilized egg in the Wangtai, will be fed with royal jelly by the worker bees throughout the whole process, and it will be the new female queen bee after feathering. The natural swarm is generally that the old queen leads a group of worker bees out, and the new queen inherits the original hive. This phenomenon is called "split bees", which generally occurs in spring and summer, and is a natural habit of bees.

2. When the nest is damaged by natural enemies, the bee colony will abandon the nest and move away.

3. Parasites, diseases, etc. will also make the colony flee from the original hive.

4. Too much human interference.

There are many reasons, 1 means that you will run. 2 If there is no honey, it will run, 3 When the bee has a new king or a new queen, the old king will also lead the troops out to find a new location to divide the family, and the original home will be given to the new king, 4 There will be serious insect infestations, and 5 the artificial disturbance is too serious 6 The new king will fly away with the bees by mistake at the end of the test flight.

The queen bee is dead. And he fled. To re-cultivate a queen bee,
