How did the queen bee come about? What should I do if the bee has a royal platform?

Wangtai is a temporary nest for bees to cultivate new queens, generally most of them are built at the bottom or both sides of the nest spleen, and when the bee colony needs to cultivate a new queen, it will build a royal platform, for example, the worker bees will build a royal platform to cultivate a new queen bee, so let's take a look at how the queen bee platform is formed!

First, the worker bee builds the foundation

In fact, the first step for worker bees to build the king platform is to build the foundation, which is the foundation of the king platform and is mostly at the bottom or both sides of the nest spleen, but sometimes the king platform may also appear in the middle of the nest spleen, such as the king bee transformed by small larvae after accidentally losing the queen.

2. The queen bee lays fertilized eggs

After the foundation of the king is built, the queen bee will lay fertilized eggs in the base, and the fertilized eggs can hatch into small larvae after 3 days, and at the same time, the worker bees will continue to build the king platform, but at this time, there is no essential difference between the larvae in the king and the larvae in the worker beehive, if the larvae in the worker beehive are moved to the king platform, they can also develop into queen bees, in fact, the artificial breeding of queen bees in beekeeping production is also achieved by using this principle.

3. The larvae complete their development

The larvae in Wangtai can get special care from the worker bees, and feed on royal jelly (the milky substance secreted by the upper jaw glands of the young worker bees) from beginning to end, and the larvae can fully mature after about 5 days of development, and the mature larvae will pupate and the worker bees will use beeswax to cover them, in fact, it is often called the capping period (pupal stage), at this stage, the morphological structure of the larvae will completely disintegrate, and the morphological characteristics of the adult bees will gradually form.

Fourth, the queen bee feathers out of the house

About 8 days after the crown of the queen bee can break out of the new queen bee, at the same time the worker bee will be introduced after the base gnawed off, if the bee colony needs to cultivate the queen bee again in the future, then rebuild the king platform, it is worth noting that the reproductive system development of the queen bee is not complete when it is first introduced, so it can not immediately go out of the nest and mate with the drone, but need to eat the royal jelly for another 3 days and after 3 or 4 days of nest recognition and test flight before going out to mate with the drone.

Summary: Wangtai is a special nest for bees to breed queen bees, and the worker bees will destroy it immediately after it is used up, the bee colony will build the foundation before building the king, and after the foundation is repaired, the queen bee lays fertilized eggs in it, and the fertilized eggs emerge into a new queen bee after the larval stage and pupal stage.

In fact, the first step for worker bees to build the king platform is to build the foundation, which is the foundation of the king platform and is mostly at the bottom or both sides of the nest spleen, but sometimes the king platform may also appear in the middle of the nest spleen, such as the king bee transformed by small larvae after accidentally losing the queen.

First, the worker bee builds the foundationWangtai is built by worker bees with beeswax (the secretion of beeswax glands of young workers), and generally appears in colonies with the idea of dividing bees.

2. The queen bee lays fertilized eggsAfter the foundation of the platform is built, the queen bee will lay fertilized eggs in the platform, and the fertilized eggs can hatch into small larvae after 3 days, and at the same time, the worker bees will continue to build the platform.

3. The larvae complete their developmentThe larvae in the royal stage are specially cared for by the worker bees, feeding on royal jelly (the emulsion secreted by the upper jaw glands of young worker bees) from beginning to end, and the larvae can fully mature after about 5 days of development, and the mature larvae will pupate and the worker bees will cover them with beeswax.

Fourth, the queen bee feathers out of the houseAbout 8 days after the crown of the queen bee can break out of the new queen bee, at the same time the worker bee will be introduced after the base gnawed off, if the bee colony needs to cultivate the queen bee again in the future, then rebuild the king platform, it is worth noting that the reproductive system development of the queen bee is not complete when it is first introduced, so it can not immediately go out of the nest and mate with the drone, but need to eat the royal jelly for another 3 days and after 3 or 4 days of nest recognition and test flight before going out to mate with the drone.

Worker bees build the foundation, and the king platform is built by worker bees with beeswax, which generally appears in bee colonies with the idea of dividing bees.

1. Destroy the royal platform: After the royal platform is sealed, it means that the bee master will be in the next few days. If the momentum of the original bee colony is not strong, it is best not to divide the bees.

2. Replace the old queen bee: The worker bee is not satisfied with the existing queen bee and needs to replace the queen bee. 3. Artificial bee separation:

There is a queen bee in the colony, and the colony is strong enough to be divided artificially, preferably when the queen is fully mature. 4. The natural division of labor in the bee colony: there is a king station in the bee colony.

When a swarm is strong, the colony can also naturally divide into bees. Pay attention to the time of the bee division.

The king should be destroyed or replaced with the old king, or the bees should be manually divided.

The queen bee table is a special nest for bee colonies to breed queen bees. Queens built naturally by bee colonies are generally located at the bottom of the hive, rarely on the sides of the hive, and in special cases are also built on the hive**. When inspecting a bee colony, it is easy to spot that an artificial king station can appear anywhere in the hive.

The queen bee is generally located below the spleen of the nest with the opening downward, and it usually appears when the bees are naturally divided.

It is probably in the lower left of the nest, because this kind of place is a more precious factor, and it is generally arranged in the lower left of the nest.

Wangtai is a place dedicated to the cultivation of queen bees.

The bee queen platform that appears in the natural bee period is generally under the spleen of the nest, the opening is downward, and the king platform with a short number of days is generally white, and with the increase of the number of days, the color deepens and the king platform that is about to go out of the house has beeswax bitten off by the worker bees.

First of all, the royal platform with a brown, whitish lid and a thick shell is a mature royal platform.

<><1, Wangtai is a temporary nest built when the bee colony cultivates a new queen bee, the number can range from a few to dozens, in most cases the Wangtai is on the lower edge or both sides of the nest spleen, under special circumstances the Wangtai can also appear on the spleen surface, the outside is like a peanut shell hanging upside down on the nest spleen, and the queen bee will clean up the Wangtai in time after the queen bee comes out of the room.

2. The position of the king platform on the nest spleen is different due to the different types of the king platform, which is divided into the queen bee platform and the alternate king platform are mostly on the lower edge of the nest spleen or on both sides of the leaky foci, while the urgent king platform should be determined according to the group potential of the bee colony, the urgent king platform in the strong group mostly appears on the lower edge or both sides of the nest spleen, and the urgent king platform in the weak group is mostly located on the spleen surface.

The queen bee is an indispensable core member of the bee colony, a normal bee colony must have and only one queen bee, in fact, if you want to increase the number of bee colonies, you must have the same number of queen bees, but sometimes the bee colony often delays to build its own king, let's take a look at how to let the bees rise to the throne by themselves!

First, the principle of operation

The "queen pheromone" secreted by the queen bee can inhibit the worker bee from breeding a new queen bee, if the bee colony lacks the "queen pheromone" worker bee will transform the small larvae of the worker bee into a king platform, the principle is that the worker bee and the queen bee are fertilized eggs to develop, but the larvae in the king platform feed on the royal jelly from beginning to end, and the larvae in the worker hive can only eat royal jelly for about three days, if the larvae in the worker hive have been eating royal jelly can also develop into a queen bee.

Second, the conditions for king-making

"Rush to make the king" needs the bee colony to have a lot of conditions, the most important of which is that there is no queen bee in the bee colony and there must be small larvae or fertilized eggs of worker bees that can be transformed, if the bee colony does not have these two prerequisites, it is impossible to "rush to build the king", and secondly, the bee colony needs to have a certain group potential to ensure that the "urgent king" can be sufficiently fed, in addition, the bee colony must have a suitable climate and rich nectar source when the bee colony "rushes to build the king".

3. Artificial loss of king

When there is a queen bee in the bee colony, the worker bee will not "rush to make the king platform", so the first step to let the bees rise to the king is to artificially make the bee colony lose the king, the specific method is to control the queen bee on the hive spleen with the king cage, and then the queen bee with the queen and some of the new worker bees are mentioned in the new hive, and it will not be long before the original bee colony will be rushed to build the king platform because of the loss of the king, and the queen bee can also be directly involved in other groups that do not have small larvae of worker bees or small colonies.

Fourth, the management of the royal platform

The number of bees "rushing to make Wangtai" is much more than other Wangtai, so beekeepers should always pay attention to the dynamics of Wangtai and eliminate inferior Wangtai in time, such as deformed, crooked or too slender Wangtai to clean up in time, and at the same time, the quality of the queen bee of "Rush Wangtai" largely depends on the age of the larvae of the worker bee, in short, the younger the larvae, the better the quality of the queen bee, and the Wangtai with a sealing time of less than four days should be cleaned up.

Fifth, intervene in the royal platform

When the "urgent Wangtai" is covered and matures, it can intervene in other groups that have lost the king, but after intervening in the Wangtai, it is necessary to pay close attention to the attitude of the worker bees towards the Wangtai, because the worker bees will destroy the intervening Wangtai when they do not accept the Wangtai, at this time the beekeeper should find out the reason and re-intervene in the Wangtai, in addition, the beekeeper can also use the "urgent Wangtai" to manually divide the bees, and the easiest way is to form a new bee colony with the mature Wangtai and some new worker bees.

The principle is that after the bee colony loses its queen, the worker bees will transform the small larvae of the worker bees into the king, and the premise is that there must be small larvae or fertilized eggs suitable for transformation in the bee colony, in addition, factors such as group potential, climate and nectar source also affect the bee colony's "urgent king".

The queen bee can be controlled on the nest spleen, so that the problem can be solved very well, and the king can be quickly made.

You can put a part of the bees in the hive, so that you can solve the problem well.

You can put some beeswax in the honeycomb or place the queen bee, so that it can have a gathering effect, and you can let the bees rise to the throne on their own.
