Under what circumstances do bees coexist with two kings, or even multiple kings

Ma Defeng, a well-known beekeeping expert, proposed: multi-king breeding, strong group honey collection. During the breeding season, a small group of 3 4 boxes of bees is formed, which is packed in a box, and a queen bee is left during the honey collection period to form a large group.

This method solves the contradiction between honey collection and reproduction, and can improve the yield and quality of honey. But any technology is affected by the climate, the nectar source, the bee species, and the way the bee is raised. After the report "Tang Jiujin Successfully Conducted a Multi-King Nest Beekeeping Experiment" was published in the first issue of Bee Magazine in 1985, I received more than 20 letters from beekeeping enthusiasts from all over the country, asking about the specific methods.

At the end of June, I made a special trip to Tang Jiujin's house for an interview. Tang Jiujin raised a medium bee. The purpose of multi-king nesting is to breed worker bees and expand the colony to enhance collection and increase honey production.

The queen bee with multiple kings and the same nest is cultivated in the strong group, and the new king cultivated is put into the weak group (generally an old king of more than one year should be put with two new kings). And add the empty nest spleen in time to the weak group to allow the king to lay eggs.

Unlikely, generally score boxes.

I got a group of two-color bees at the beginning of 2018, I didn't pay attention to it when I checked it in September, and I didn't pay attention to the four spleens when I lost two spleens, and I didn't keep bees at that time, so I made a box to put the two spleens in it, and I accidentally found that it was bred on the National Day, and by the way, I cut the two spleens into 4 small pieces, and there were 1 small pieces of queen bees, and the 3 small pieces also slowly multiplied, and today on October 30, I stopped a 10-box standard flat box in the middle with a king fence, and merged the two king egg groups into a double king group in the same flat box, and 17 pm on the 30th:30 Jie Shuangwang, after dinner, go to check, 19:35 Shuangwang is still there, the bee colony is very quiet, successful, so it is said that the multi-king group can also be.

Hello, 1, two Jane Zhao bee colonies can not be directly merged into a group when there is a king, must dispose of one of the queen bees before merging, the reason is that there is only one queen bee in a bee colony, if there are two queen bees at the same time will fight each other until one side dies, although two queen bees can also be used to form a double queen group in beekeeping production, but these two queen bees are separated in different areas of the beehive by the king board called section. 2. When two kings merge, they must first dispose of a queen bee, and the specific operation and reputation is to first take out the poor queen bee to make the bee colony artificially lose the king for 1 2 days, and then use a partition to separate a beeless area from the beehive of the king group and put it into the bee colony that has lost the king, and so that the group taste of the two bee colonies is completely confused, and then remove the partition and let it merge together, and use this method to merge the bee colony with the highest success rate and will not surround the king.

Abstract 1, two bee colonies can not be directly merged into a group when there are kings, must dispose of one of the queens before merging, the reason is that there can only be one queen bee in a bee colony, if there are two queens at the same time will fight each other until one side dies, although two queens can also be used to form a double queen group in beekeeping production, but these two queens are separated in different areas of the beehive by the king board.

2. When two kings merge, one queen should be disposed of first, the specific operation is to take out the poor queen bee first to make the bee colony artificially lose the king for 1 2 days, and then use a partition to separate a beeless area from the beehive of the king colony and put it into the queen bee colony, and so that the group taste of the two bee colonies is completely confused and then remove the partition and let it merge together, and the success rate of merging the bee colony in this way is the highest and will not surround the king.

Both swarms of bees have kings how to merge.

1. When two bee colonies have kings, they can not be directly merged into a group, and one of the queens must be disposed of before they can be merged, the reason is that there can only be one queen bee in a bee colony, if there are two queens at the same time, they will fight each other until one side dies, although two queens can also be used to form a double queen group in beekeeping production, but these two queens are separated in different areas of the beehive by the king board. 2. When two kings merge, one queen should be disposed of first, the specific operation is to take out the poor queen bee first to make the bee colony artificially lose the king for 1 2 days, and then use a partition to separate a beeless area from the beehive of the king colony and put it into the queen bee colony, and so that the group taste of the two bee colonies is completely confused and then remove the partition and let it merge together, and the success rate of merging the bee colony in this way is the highest and will not surround the king.

Is it okay for the two kings to be locked up?

Can worker bees feed two kings at the same time?

No, the king will not die.

Take a look at what I posted above.

The queen bee will lay eggs, and then there will be two queens, or go buy one.

The operation time of the bee bin.

The ideal time for bee splitting is between one and four o'clock in the afternoon, although it can also be carried out at other times, but it is not as thorough as the box in the afternoon, because between one and four o'clock in the afternoon, most of the worker bees will go out to move, then everyone can remove the queen bee in the hive, and place the nest foundation and nest frame in the new hive, and then apply some beeswax and honey to the hive, and when the bees return to the nest at night, they will enter the new hive.

The specific operation of the bee bin.

When dividing the bees, you need to place the new hive and the old hive more than 20 meters apart, and when moving the queen bee, you need to move all the larvae with larvae near the queen bee to the new hive. If the two hives are placed too close together, some of the honey will fly back into the original hive.

Other methods of beehives.

In the breeding of bees, the box is not the only way to expand the scale of the bee farm, the artificial bee is the ideal way to expand the size of the bee colony, the artificial bee can have equal bees and unequal bees and mixed bees and other methods, than the natural conditions of the box has more benefits, because in the artificial bee division, you can cultivate excellent high-quality king, so that the queen bee has a stronger ability to lay eggs, but also can quickly expand the power of the bee colony.

You give birth to the king first, don't be a natural king, the egg production is low, and the number of drones is high.

drones, strong swarms, honey sources, temperature.

Let him be the king, otherwise wait for the natural division.

The queen bee is a special kind of individual in the bee society. She is another name for the queen of bees, responsible for reproduction and control of the actions of the entire colony. Queen bees are usually prepared to reproduce from the larval stage in the colony and mate as they mature to produce more bees, worker bees, and queen bees.

How do bee colonies identify queen bees?

In honey bee colonies, there are many ways to identify the queen bee, and the simplest and most effective way is to observe the nest of the colony. If a large number of worker bees are found wandering around the nest and congregating inside the nest, it is likely that a new queen bee has been created. In addition, you can also observe the behavioral interaction between the worker bees and the queen bee, for example, the worker bees will offer the food prepared in advance to the queen bee to show respect and recognition.

What is the role of a queen bee?

The role of the queen bee is to manage and control the living conditions of the entire colony, while also being responsible for reproduction and egg laying. The queen bee affects the bees, worker bees, and other queen bees by releasing a special pheromone. This pheromone can control the behavior of the bee worker bees, which in turn affects the living conditions of the entire colony.

When a new queen bee is born in a colony, she takes over the previous work in a short period of time, which in turn affects the behavior of the entire colony.

How to control a bee colony with a queen bee?

The use of queen bees to control the colony can lead to the healthy and stable development of the colony. If you want to use the queen bee to control the bee colony, you need to make some preliminary preparations. First of all, choose a healthy and disease-free bee colony.

Secondly, it is necessary to provide sufficient and suitable nectar sources for the bee colony to meet the survival needs of bees, worker bees and queen bees. Finally, it is necessary to closely observe the activity of the bee colony, and pay attention to the signs of queen bee production, and take corresponding measures in time.

How to ensure the quality of queen bee production?

The quality of the queen bee directly affects the production of bees and the health of the colony. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality of the queen bee production, the following principles need to be followed: the selection of healthy female bees, the precise reproduction process is guaranteed, and the right environment is provided.

In addition, the queen bee is regularly inspected and replaced to ensure the production and reproduction capacity of the colony.

In conclusion, by observing the movements of the bees around the nest, it is easy to determine that the colony has a king. In order to use the queen bee to control the bee colony, it is necessary to make sufficient preliminary preparations and pay attention to ensuring the quality of the queen bee production. Only this is clear that the positive effect of the queen bee on the growth and development of the bee colony can be realized.

Merging bee colonies refers to merging two or more bee colonies into a group, in fact, beekeeping production often needs to merge bee colonies, for example, bee colonies can be merged into other king groups after the unexpected loss of the queen, and the weak groups can be merged to form a production group before the big honey season is coming.

First, the principle of merger

Bees are typical social social insects, but the bee colony and the bee colony are relatively independent and rely on the smell to identify whether it is the same nest bee, in which the bees can still cooperate with each other when the smell is the same, once the smell is different, the two bee colonies will fight, so when merging the bee colony, we must find a way to confuse the smell of the two groups of bees, as long as the group taste is the same, it is a bee colony.

2. Combined discussions

Two bee colonies have kings can not be directly merged into a group, must dispose of one of the queens before merging, the reason is that there can only be one queen bee in a bee colony, if there are two queens at the same time will fight each other until one side dies, although two queens can also be used to form a double queen group in beekeeping production, but these two queens are separated in different areas of the beehive by the king board.

3. Merger method

The specific operation is to take out the queen bee with poor quality and make the bee colony lose its king for 1 2 days, and then use a partition to separate a beeless area in the hive of the king colony and put it into the bee colony that has lost the king, and then remove the partition and let it merge together by itself, and then remove the partition to merge it together by itself, and use this method to merge the bee colony with the highest success rate and will not surround the king.

4. Precautions

1. The queen bee is the only female bee in the colony that can lay eggs normally, under normal circumstances, there is only one queen bee in a colony, but you can also use tools such as the king partition board to form a double queen group with two queen bees.

2. When two bee colonies have kings, they cannot be merged directly, otherwise the two queens will fight each other until one side dies, and the relatively poor quality queen bees can be taken out before the merger to make the bee colony lose its king for 1 2 days.

3. There are two kinds of merging bee colonies: direct merger and indirect merger, among which the advantage of direct merger is that the operation is simple and convenient, while the advantage of indirect merger is that the success rate is high and can ensure the safety of the queen bee.

No, if you merge them, you won't know whose command you want, and the queen bees will fight with each other.

When both colonies have kings, they cannot be directly merged into one colony. One of the queens must be dealt with in order to merge. Because there can only be one queen bee in a bee colony, and two queen bees kill each other at the same time, it is also possible to form a double queen colony with two queens in beekeeping production, but the two queens are separated by different areas of the hive.

This is not possible, there can only be one queen bee in a bee colony, and one queen must be disposed of before it can be merged.

Summary. When merging a colony, the queen bee is merged into the group, and the worker bees are merged into the queen bee group after rejection, because the bees mainly rely on the group taste (group smell) to distinguish whether they are in the same nest, and when the queen bee and the worker bee have the same group taste, the worker bees will form a circle of attendants around the queen bee and take care of the queen bee, once the group taste is different, the worker bees will surround the queen and may even bite or stab the queen to death. Merge bee colonies.

Second, the treatment method of merging the bee ** to rescue the queen bee in time, otherwise the queen bee is likely to be surrounded or bitten to death by the worker bees, the correct way is to spray smoke to the bee group to disperse the worker bees around the king, you can also put the bee group into the water to force the worker bees to give up the king, at this time must not be picked up by hand, if the bee group is directly provoked by the worker bee will immediately stab the queen bee. Merge bee colonies.

3. Preventive measures are completely preventable when merging the bee colony, the easiest way is to protect the queen bee with a prison cage or a royal device and buckle it on the honeysple before merging the bee colony, and then release the queen bee after the successful merger of the bee colony, at this time the smell of the queen bee and the worker bee is exactly the same, and the situation of the worker bee queen generally does not occur.

Will merging bee colonies cause the phenomenon of encircling kings in winter?

When merging the bee colony, the queen bee is merged into the group, and the worker bee is merged into the queen bee group in the rejection, because the bee mainly relies on the group taste (group smell) to distinguish whether it is the same nest bee, and when the queen bee and the worker bee have the same empty group taste, the worker bee base will form a circle of attendants around the queen bee and take care of the queen bee, once the group taste is different, the worker bee will surround the queen and may even bite or sting the queen bee. Merge bee colonies.

Second, the treatment method should be rescued in time when the bee is born and the queen bee is born, otherwise the queen bee is likely to be surrounded or bitten to death by the worker bees, the correct way is to spray smoke to the bee group to disperse the worker bees of the king, and the bee group can also be put into the water to force the worker bees to give up the king, at this time must not be picked up by hand to open the bee group, if you directly pick up the fight bee group is angered by the worker bee will immediately stab the queen bee. Merge bee colonies.

3. Preventive measures are completely preventable when merging the bee colony, the easiest way is to protect the queen bee with a prison cage or a royal device and buckle it on the honeysple before merging the bee colony, and then release the queen bee after the successful merger of the bee colony, at this time the smell of the queen bee and the worker bee is exactly the same, and the situation of the worker bee queen generally does not occur.

4. Precautions 1, when merging the colony, the king is the worker bee rejecting the queen bee, the fundamental reason is that the smell of the worker bee and the queen bee are different, and the worker bee is frightened when the colony is merged. 2. When merging the bee colony, Wang Xian Jinyu can not directly pick up the bee group with his hands, otherwise the enraged worker bee may directly bite or stab the queen bee brother to roll, the correct way is to spray smoke to disperse the worker bees or put the bee group into the water. 3. When merging the bee colony, the king is completely preventable, and the easiest way is to protect the queen bee with a prison cage and buckle it on the honeyspen, and then release the queen bee after the successful merger of the bee colony.
