    The best time for bees to take honey in the <> varies according to different feeding methods, among which the bees in the native bees only take honey once a year and concentrate in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the reason is that the damage to the bee colony when the bees in the soil are almost fatal, so the honey is often only taken once a year when the honey is stored in the hive, and the bees raised in the live frame can take honey at any time according to the honey storage situation, but the honey collection time is also mostly concentrated in the late spring and early summer to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

    In fact, the saying about autumn honey is good in the bee, because the bee is good at using sporadic nectar sources, the amount of honey collected in a year is not large, usually in the spring and summer honey production is not high, and the honey can not be taken at all, so the general beekeepers will wait until the autumn to take out the excess honey, leaving some winter for the bees, which is the origin of the honey harvest in a year.

    The bee can take honey in autumn, and the honey of the bee should be warm in autumn.

    There are relatively few nectar source plants that bloom outside the outside world in autumn, and the precautions for taking nectar at this time are not to take more, and generally take honey once or twice. Then leave the excess honey for the bee colony as feed for the bees to overwinter, and avoid taking a lot of honey at one time in autumn, so as to avoid the lack of food in the bee colony and the appearance of nest insects, robber bees and other pests and diseases.

    When breeding bees, the honey collection time is very important, if the time is not right, it is easy to steal bees, bee colonies escape and other phenomena. If there is a field of rape flowers around, then we can determine the honey season based on the growth of rape flowers. Generally, honey can be taken from the middle of the rape flower flowering period to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

    In the middle stage of rape flowering, the reproduction rate of the bee reaches its peak, and a large number of eggs and spleens will appear. The amount of pollen will also increase, but the amount of honey is not very large, so the yield is relatively small. Moreover, this is also the time when the bees are divided, and the honey yield is highest around three weeks after the last bee split.

    Autumn honey, time is also not negligent. When we collect honey, we should not do it in rainy weather, in addition, we must determine the time of honey collection according to the temperature of the weather. If the temperature is warmer, it should be done in the evening, because in the evening, the bees do not attend very much, and most of the worker bees return to the nest.

    After the honey is retrieved, it ensures that the worker bees have enough time to repair the damaged nest spleen. If the temperature is low, then it should be done in the middle of the morning, when the temperature is relatively high in a day, and the spleen is not easy to be frozen. When the bee takes honey, we must try not to hurt the bee, especially when cutting the honey spleen, we must protect the spleen to the greatest extent, in fact, many bees fly away after cutting honey is seriously caused by bee injury; Be sure to pay attention to the prevention of bee theft, do not separate the honey directly in the open area of the apiary, and at the same time the honey spilled on the apiary when cutting honey should also be disposed of in time; Remember to leave enough food for the colony, otherwise the colony is very easy to abandon the nest due to insufficient honey storage in the nest, and after taking the honey, it is necessary to manually feed it in time to quickly stabilize the colony.

    In the spring, we need to do spring breeding work for the bees, at this time we can disperse the winter honeycomb into the spring breeding bee colony, if the remaining honeycomb is more, then do not need to feed, directly let the bees eat the remaining honeyscap, and then leave these wintering sugar spleens when taking honey, only take the bees that year is newly harvested.

    The best time for Chinese bees to take honey varies according to different feeding methods, among which native Chinese bees only take honey once a year and concentrate on the fifth lunar month.

    The reason is that the damage to the bee colony when the bees in the soil are raised is almost fatal, so the honey is often only taken once a year when the honey is stored in the hive at most, and the bees raised in the live frame can take the honey at any time according to the honey storage situation, but the honey collection time is also mostly concentrated in the late spring and early summer to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

    Yes, now is the time to collect honey, the last source of honey in autumn, and there will be no flowers until next month.

    Not necessarily, because although the honey is taken once a year, the problem is that in some places, there is basically no honey source in autumn, only powder source, so there is no difference between honey in autumn and honey at the end of the honey source. Let's talk about live frame breeding, because of the nest spleen limitation, if you don't take honey in advance in autumn, then it will be contradictory to autumn breeding, and if you don't take honey, you will have honey pressure, so you should take honey in advance. Therefore, the honey collection time of the bee in autumn depends on the situation of the last honey source, and the honey can be taken at the end of the honey source at the latest, and there is no point in postponing it!!

    Honey can be taken in autumn by bees.

    The production process of honey is that bees collect nectar or secretions from other plants, inject biological enzymes, and then store them in the hive, and finally obtain mature honey after continuous brewing, and then seal the wax cap, and the beekeeper takes out the hive spleen to shake the honey and filter the honey, and finally obtains the honey we eat.

    In October, bees can collect osmanthus nectar.

    The flowering period of wild osmanthus is from October to February of the following year, and there are three kinds of autumn osmanthus, winter osmanthus and spring osmanthus due to different flowering periods, among which autumn osmanthus blooms in October and November, winter osmanthus blooms from November to January of the following year, and spring osmanthus blooms in January and February of the following year.

    The main bee species of wild osmanthus honey is the bee, the reason is that the cold tolerance of the bee is stronger than that of the western bee, in fact, the western bee can only pick the autumn wild osmanthus, the honey production of the bee in a normal year is about 20 40 catties, and the western bee such as the Italian bee can produce about 20 30 catties of wild osmanthus honey.

    Medium bee species: 1. Continental Chinese bee. There are northern bees, South China bees, central China bees, and Changbai Mountain.

    Medium bee, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau middle bee, southern Yunnan.

    Medium bees. These varieties basically cover most of China, and they are also very wide coverage of the Chinese bee species.

    2. Aba. Medium bees. Because of its large size, strong egg-laying ability, difficult to divide bees, and high honey production, it is widely respected by beekeepers.

    3. Southern Tibet. Medium bees. It belongs to the medium bee species with relatively large individuals, and it also has the advantages of strong cold resistance and difficult to divide bees. Aba and southern Tibetan are the representatives of the strong swarms of Chinese bees.

    4. Hainan Bee. Contrary to the Aba bee, the Hainan bee is very small and the queen bee.

    The ability to carry bees is poor, and it is easy to get bee fever.

    The time of honey collection of wild bees is not fixed, due to the differences in natural climate and nectar source conditions in different places. Generally speaking, the honey collection time is mostly concentrated in April-May and September-October every year, that is, late spring, early summer, or late autumn and early winter. This is because the yield of honey taken in late spring and early summer is higher, while the quality of honey taken in late autumn and early winter is relatively good.

    Wild honey is produced in very low quantities, generally golden yellow or black, and has a fragrant and sweet taste. Wild honey is mixed with beeswax, and the finished product is either solid or semi-liquid and has an irregular shape.

    China is a vast country, and the wild bees that live in the wild include the Chinese honey bee, as well as the large row bee in Hainan, Yunnan and Guangxi. Therefore, wild honey is mainly divided into wild soil honey and large row bee honey.

    The time of wild honey extraction is not fixed, because wild honey is collected by bees that are not raised by humans, and is more affected by other factors, and needs to be judged according to the environment and climate.

    Wild bees can actually take honey all year round, but it is most common in late spring and early summer or late autumn and early winter, because the honey yield is higher in late spring and early summer, and the quality of honey taken in late autumn and early winter is relatively good, that is to say, the honey time should be determined according to the actual situation, let's take a look at when wild bees take honey!

    1. Spring

    Spring is the season when the honey source is the most concentrated, at this time the reproduction speed and honey production capacity of the bee colony are the highest, so the honey can generally be obtained in the spring, and the specific time to take the honey should be based on the actual situation of the bee colony, for example, when the bee ** develops rapidly and the external honey source is abundant, it is necessary to take the honey in advance, so as not to affect the collection enthusiasm of the bee colony due to too much honey in the hive.

    2. Summer

    Summer is the hottest season of the year, but the abundance of external honey sources in early summer is not inferior to spring, and too much honey stored in the hive is also extremely unfavorable to the bee colony to spend summer, so early summer is actually the season when wild bees take honey the most concentrated, on the one hand, honey can be obtained at this time to obtain higher honey yield, on the other hand, it is also extremely beneficial to the bee colony to take out the honey in the hive in time.

    3. Autumn

    Autumn is the best season for honey quality, the reason is that there is not only a rich source of honey in the outside world at this time, but also the water content of honey is the lowest, in fact, autumn is also the season when wild bees take honey more concentrated, but it is worth noting that the end of autumn is the autumn breeding period of the bee colony, and the success or failure of the autumn multiplication will directly determine whether the bee colony can successfully overwinter, so the autumn honey must leave enough food for the bee colony.

    Fourth, winter

    Winter is the coldest season of the year, this season can not take honey according to the temperature to determine, the northern region of the bee colony has been clumped overwinter, so in the northern region can not take honey in winter and even in the bee colony food is insufficient to feed, and in the southern winter warmer areas of the bee colony is still in attendance to collect honey, such as the use of winter nectar source to produce loquat honey, wild osmanthus nectar and other rare honey species.

    Summary: There is no fixed time for wild bees to take honey, because there are differences in the natural climate and nectar source conditions in various places, but they are basically concentrated in April and May and September and October every year, while Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other places can take honey almost all year round.

    What wild honey is taken is related to the nectar flow period, no matter what kind of honey it is, it is the nectar or secretion of the bee collection plant, which is fully brewed, and if the nectar source is rich in plants, it is likely that the honey can be taken all year round.

    There is no fixed time for wild bees to collect honey in <>, because the natural climate and nectar source conditions vary from place to place, but they are basically concentrated in April and May and September and October every year. Wild honey is best harvested in Qingming and winter solstice, because these two seasons have more flowers and less rain, and honey is the best.
