What techniques should novice beekeepers learn first?

1. Collecting bees: Collecting bees refers to the direct collection of bee colonies that survive in the wild, one is to find the hive of wild bees and collect them back with the bees, and the other is to collect the sub-bee colonies when they are naturally divided or the migratory groups when they abandon their nests and migrate. 2. Trapping bees:

Bee trapping refers to the use of bee traps and other bee traps to trap wild bee colonies, one is to trap the sub-bee colonies that find a new site to build a nest when trapping natural bees, and the other is to trap the migratory groups that have to abandon the nest and migrate due to the lack of nectar sources or serious enemies.

You need to learn the bee collection technique first, you need to know how to put the bees in one place, trap the bees, and then get the honey out.

First of all, it is necessary to understand the daily habits of bees, but also pay attention to the composition of the colony, and learn how to manage the colony simply.

Clause. 1. The customs of bees.

If you want to keep bees, you must first understand the habits of bees. The honeybee is a semi-domesticated social insect consisting of: a queen bee and a small number of seasonal drones, as well as most of the worker bees.

The queen bee is only responsible for laying eggs, the drone is only useful when mating, and the worker bee is responsible for all the labor. The bees are very fled, easy to divide the bees, and love to sting.

Clause. 2. How to keep bees.

Keeping bees is not like raising cats and dogs, if you don't understand them, then feel free to say goodbye to you, so how to keep bees is the beginning of everything. First of all, bees have a lover plot and a king's nature. Beekeepers who want to keep bees either have eggs and worm spleens or control the queen bee.

There are eggs, larvae, and spleens in the hive, and the bees will not fly away so easily, without which it is necessary to control the queen bee to keep the colony. Beekeepers can use the king partition to lock the door of the nest so that the queen bee can't get out, but the worker bees can come in and out often.

Clause. 3. How to manage a bee colony on a daily basis.

There are many subdivisions of bee colony management, and beginners should start with simple daily management. Day-to-day management is mainly to understand the basic condition of the bee colony. The first is to observe the bees outside the box, as long as there is pollen, attendance and guard bees fanning the wind at the door of the nest, it is normal.

When the weather is sunny and the temperature is high, you can open the box and check the bees. The examination of the nest spleen should be stable, fast, and purposeful.

Introductory techniques for novice beekeeping: feeding, bee separation, king-keeping, colony, disease prevention.

1. Feeding

Feeding is a key technology that must be mastered in bee breeding, which can be roughly divided into two types: subsidized feeding and incentive feeding, in which supplemental feeding is the food necessary for the survival of the bee colony, and reward feeding is to sting or stimulate the queen to lay eggs and motivate the worker bees to feed the larvae.

2. Divide the bees

Bee division is the most important way for bees to expand their population, which can be roughly divided into two types: natural bee division and artificial bee division. Among them, small-scale bee farming generally allows bee colonies to naturally divide bees, while non-bee breeding and large-scale medium bee breeding mostly use artificial bee division.

3, Jiewang

Jiewang refers to the introduction of a new queen for the queenless group, in the beekeeping production of the bee colony will inevitably have an accidental loss of the queen, at this time to reintroduce a new queen bee to the bee colony, in addition to the introduction of other queens in the apiary farm should also use the queen bee technology to add the queen bee to the colony.

4. Merge groups

Merging refers to the merging of two or more groups into a group, for example, two or more weak groups can be artificially merged into a relatively strong production group in early spring, and the bee colony can also be merged into other king bee colonies when the bee colony loses its king and there is no value of separate swarms.

5. Disease prevention

Disease prevention and control is a skill that beekeepers must master, once the outbreak of bee colonies and pests directly affects the efficiency of beekeeping, and in severe cases, it may lead to the extinction of the bee colony and even affect the whole field of bees, in fact, many people beekeeping failure is caused by disease prevention and control is not in place.

Introductory beekeeping skills for beginners: acquiring equipment, selecting the right bee species, finding a suitable bee site, setting up and maintaining the hive, and knowing the seasonal management.

1. Obtain equipment: Prepare the necessary equipment for beekeeping. This may include beehives, hives, bee tools, protective gear (such as bee suits, gloves, masks, etc.), and various beekeeping supplies.

2. Choose suitable bee species: master the characteristics and adaptability of different bee species, and choose varieties that are suitable for the climate and conditions of your area.

3. Find the right bee site: Choose a suitable site to place your hives to ensure that the bees have access to sufficient nectar and pollen**. At the same time, it is important to avoid disturbance from neighboring residents or threats to the presence of bees.

4. Beehive Setup and Maintenance: Learn how to properly set up and maintain the beehive. Learn about the organizational structure and layout of the hive, learn how to check the health of the hive, and deal with possible problems in a timely manner.

5. Know seasonal management: understand the impact of different seasons on bees, as well as the management and operation that needs to be carried out. This includes winter protection, spring replenishment and reproduction, summer honey harvesting and pest control, etc.

Precautions for novice beekeeping

1. Learn and understand bees: Before you start beekeeping, make sure you have enough knowledge and knowledge, including bee behavior, quality and high species, reproductive cycle, diseases and pests, etc. Learn through books, citrus training, or looking for professional guidance.

2. Use protective equipment: When in contact with bees and operations, wear appropriate protective equipment, such as bee suits, gloves and masks. This will protect you from the danger of being stung by bees.

3. Know allergies: Know if you are allergic to bee stings. If you have allergy symptoms or concerns, it is best to consult a doctor or seek professional advice before beekeeping.

4. Find a suitable site: Choose a site that is far away from residential areas and easy to manage to reduce the disturbance and threat caused by bees to others.

5. Regular inspection and maintenance: Regularly check the health status of beehives and bees. Ensure the structural integrity of the hive to prevent disease and insect infestation.

7. Pay attention to seasonal management: according to the needs of different seasons, carry out appropriate management and operation. For example, bees need to be protected from severe cold in winter, and bees need to be careful about moisture and temperature control in summer.

First, the selection of beekeeping sites.

First, the selection of the apiary site requires that there should be a certain number of nectar source plants nearby, which can not only breed bee colonies, but also produce honey. At the same time, the development of beekeeping in the surrounding area should be investigated, and if the bee colony in the vicinity of the east has developed to saturation, then the site should be selected a little closer to the west.

Second, choose a location where to place the colony. The colony should be placed in a leeward, sunny and quiet place, at a certain distance from the driveway and sidewalk.

Third, bees generally travel 2 kilometers away from the source, but the closer they are to the nectar source, the more efficient the collection and pollination will be. Therefore, the field is buried in a place close to the nectar source as much as possible.

Fourth, precautions for choosing a venue:

Do not choose wet, low-lying areas. Because this kind of location is prone to bee diseases, infestations, hindering bee reproduction, and it is inconvenient to manage.

The site should be relatively flat, not on the top of the slope or on high ground, otherwise, the bees will fly upwards when collecting and returning to the nest, which will reduce the effect of pollen collection. In addition, slopes and highlands are windy, which is also not conducive to management and wintering.

There should be a clean water source near the apiary for the bees to use, but it should not be close to reservoirs, lakes and large rivers, because when the bees collect honey and return to the box, it is easy to be blown into the water by the wind, and the queen bee is also easy to fall into the water and drown when the queen bee mates.
