When is the best time for beekeeping to change kings? What are the benefits of beekeeping for kings?

First, the spring period changes the king

Bee colony to do a good job of spring propagation is the basis for beekeeping to bring economic benefits, especially for fixed-point beekeeping is more important, because fixed-point beekeeping is basically only 2 3 large honey periods in spring to generate income, if not grasped in the spring multiplication then there is basically no benefit throughout the year, so in the spring of the bee colony, it is necessary to replace the bee farm in the apiary farm with a new king except for a few particularly excellent old kings who still have retained value, so as to promote the rapid development of bee colonies to meet the upcoming big honey season.

Second, the autumn season changes the king

Bee colonies do a good job of autumn reproduction is the basis for ensuring the safe wintering of bee colonies, especially in areas with a longer wintering period, it is more important for bee colonies to cultivate a large number of age-appropriate overwintering bees (young bees that have only been excreted and flown before wintering and have not done feeding and collection work and have not secreted royal jelly) to survive the harsh winter, and the more overwintering bees of the appropriate age, the safer the wintering will be, and the faster the recovery of the colony in the spring of the next year, so the autumn reproduction of the bee colony is also the best time to replace the queen bee.

3. Change the king during the disease prevention period

Beekeeping can artificially cause broken seeds and is conducive to disease control when changing the queen, especially for some larval diseases and bee mites of bees, for example, the bee mite strip control that makes most beekeepers have a headache is often not obvious and easy to break out again, but if the bee mite is controlled by combining mite control drugs during the artificial cut off period after replacing the queen bee, its effective rate can be more than 90%, and at the same time, some bee larval diseases can also be combined with the king to control and control.

Fourth, the honey period changes the king

The bee colony is very prone to bee fever during the honey flow period, especially the bee bee is more common, at this time the queen bee will reduce or stop laying eggs, and the worker bees will also be passive and slack, which is extremely unfavorable to beekeeping production, but if the queen can be replaced about 15 days before the large honey flow period, the probability of bee fever can be reduced, and a large number of eggs laid by the new queen will stimulate the collection behavior of the worker bees, which is conducive to improving the honey production, but the change of the queen too early or too late will not play a role.

Fifth, a sudden change of king

The queen bee is the core member of the bee colony, plays a decisive role in the survival of the bee colony, although in beekeeping production is often protected by the beekeeper, but the queen bee accidental death or injury is still a common thing, such as the beekeeper improper operation, bee theft, bee disease, wasp and so on may lead to the accidental death of the queen bee, at this time for the beekeeper to do is to replace the queen bee, this change of king has a strong randomness, are when it happens when to change the king.

Summary: The situation of beekeeping and changing the queen is nothing more than the above, but in beekeeping production, it should be determined according to the actual situation, and the time of changing the king is different for different bee species, for example, the Italian bee generally changes 1 2 times in spring or autumn, and the bee can change the king once in 1 2 years.

The regular queen change of the bee usually takes place in the spring of each year from March to April. Those ***, productive queen bees are replaced every two years. Replacing the queen bee regularly can increase the productivity of the queen bee and help maintain the colony.

ps: At present, beekeeping in many parts of China still adopts traditional breeding methods, and is replaced by queen bees. As a result, the queen bee dies in the hive, or the original momentum is very small, and the grouping is not cost-effective.

It is best to change the king in the spring, as the first of the four seasons, you can better cultivate the bee colony to collect honey, and the efficiency will be higher.

It is generally carried out in March and April of spring every year, which is the best time to make the bee colony reproduce better and bring higher economic benefits.

1. Improve fecundity

The main role of the queen bee in the bee colony is to lay eggs, an excellent queen bee can lay 800 1300 eggs a day and night, and the total number of eggs laid annually can reach more than 100,000, but this fecundity can generally only be maintained for about 1 2 years, and then gradually decreases with the maximum age of the queen bee, so it is good to replace the old queen with a new queen in a timely manner to improve the fecundity of the colony.

2. Relieve bee fever

Another role of the queen bee in the bee colony is to release the "queen pheromone" to maintain the order of the colony and inhibit the development of the worker bee ovaries, the "queen bee pheromone" is transmitted to every corner of the bee colony by the worker bees, but with the increase of the queen bee age, the ability to release the "queen pheromone" will gradually weaken, which is easy to lead to bee fever, which is particularly common in bee breeding, so the queen bee can be replaced when the colony has the signs of bee fever, so as to effectively relieve the bee fever.

3. Enhance collection power

In addition to the characteristics of the bee species itself, the group status is also an important factor, the stronger the swarm, the stronger the swarm collection power, the faster the queen bee spawning speed The higher the enthusiasm of the bee colony collection, so you can replace the queen bee about 15 days before the big honey period (such as rape flowering stage, acacia flowering stage, etc.), when the big honey period arrives, the queen bee is just in the peak period of egg laying, which can motivate the collection behavior of worker bees, but we must grasp the time to change the king, too early or too late will not play a role.

Fourth, improve stress resistance

The stress resistance of the bee colony depends on the group potential, the stronger the colony, the stronger the stress resistance, and the timely replacement of the queen bee can improve the fertility of the bee colony, thereby enhancing the group potential of the bee colony, which is extremely effective in helping the bee colony to resist natural inversion, such as resisting severe cold or heat, cleaning up nest insects and bee mites, preventing the occurrence of bee diseases, etc., at the same time, there is a short period of interrupting after replacing the queen, at this time, it can also be combined with the change of the queen for disease prevention and control, so the conditional apiary should replace the queen in a timely manner.

Summary: The role of the queen bee in the bee colony is mainly to reproduce offspring and maintain order, although the replacement of the queen bee can bring various benefits to beekeeping, but everything has a degree, too frequent change of the queen is also extremely unfavorable to the bee colony, how often to change the king to decide according to the specific situation.

The advantage is that it can maintain power, and then it can also prevent bee division, and secondly, it can also increase production, can speed up bee breeding, and replacing the queen bee is the core of the normal reproduction and development of the bee colony.

1. Improve fecundity: The total number of eggs laid by excellent queen bees is more than 100,000 per year, but this fecundity can only be maintained for about 1 2 years. 2. Alleviate bee fever

As the queen bee ages, the ability to release "queen pheromones" gradually decreases. 3.Improving Acquisition Capabilities:

The stronger the swarm, the stronger the collection ability.

It can promote the reproduction and fertility of bee colonies, increase the efficiency and speed of honey harvesting, and make honey more delicious.

We must pay attention to safety to avoid being stung by bees, and we also need to do a good job of safety prevention and control measures, we must choose the right time, and we also need to pay attention to the work of preventing diseases and insects.

It is necessary to pay attention to the weather conditions, under normal circumstances, autumn will be chosen, you need to pay attention to the temperature, pay attention to the situation of the queen bee, and be sure to pay attention to the control of pests and diseases.

Be sure to time it well, don't replace it randomly, it's best to replace it in the fall. Pay attention to the honey. Pay attention to the queen bee's physical condition.

For example, the death of the queen bee before the high reform, if the hive bees touch too much spring, there is not enough space to lay eggs, etc. It is especially important to nurture a new queen after the death of the old one, as this is key to keeping the colony going strong, and, since the eggs present must be less than three days old so that they can do everything they need to make it a queen.

In addition to the high-quality queen bee, the queen bee must be replaced every year in production. Because the queen bees bred in the spring lay eggs in the spring of the following year, most of them have a more obvious "camel" curve. At present, often in the early spring to replace the old and inferior queen bee, although this method of breeding has a certain effect, but in early spring the queen is restricted by the conditions of the bee colony, the climate and the source of honey, etc., it is necessary to change the queen bee and control the egg production, so as to maintain the physiological youth of the queen bee, so that the next spring to exert the spawning power.

Beekeepers know that the queen bee is the most important member of the bee colony, which not only affects the life and death of the entire bee colony, but also determines the development of the bee colony.

Queen BeeReduced spawning

The primary role of the queen bee is to lay eggs to reproduce new bees, but the queen bee's oviposition is not a "parallel line", a bit similar to a "hyperbola", in short, it can be divided into three stages, the first stage is that the new queen spawning power after mating with the drone continues to rise, the second stage is that the queen bee will maintain a period of time after reaching the highest point of oviposition, and the third stage is that the queen bee's oviposition is declining.

In fact, this is why the queen bee should be replaced in the first place, after the replacement of the queen bee, the new queen bee's oviposition is stronger than the old queen, which has a full effect on the development of the bee colony and the maintenance of the colony potential, especially in the spring and autumn reproduction, the level of the queen bee's oviposition is very important.

Queen BeePheromone reduction

In addition to laying eggs, the queen bee can also metabolize the "queen pheromone", "queen pheromone" is the most important substance in the bee colony, which can not only attract worker bees to produce "feeding circles" and inhibit the growth of worker bee ovaries, but also stabilize the colony discipline and can inhibit worker bees from cultivating new queen bees.

The queen bee's ability to metabolize "queen pheromones" slowly weakens with age, and the "queen bee pheromones" can not be directly reflected in the easy to cause "bee fever", which is more prominent when feeding, in fact, the replacement of the queen bee generally does not produce bees, and the middle bee is covered by its own strong bees, but the old queen bee is more likely to "split bee fever" than the new queen bee.

Queen BeeIllness or disability

Under normal circumstances, the bee colony will give the queen a lot of "special care", and the beekeeper will also deliberately maintain the queen bee when managing the bee colony, the queen bee is sick or disabled is inevitable, when the queen bee is sick or disabled, all aspects of the ability will be weakened at different levels, resulting in slow reproduction of the bee colony, weak collection ability, etc., this kind of queen bee is usually replaced by the beekeeper.

Some beekeepers in order to prevent the colony from dividing the bees or flying away usually artificially cut off the wings of the queen bee, here is not recommended to do that, on the one hand, the colony produces this way is not very related to the queen bee, on the other hand, simply cut off the wings of the queen bee is also "can't **", in fact, many problems of the bee colony can only be solved from the source after seeing the cause and properly dealing with it.

Because the life span of the queen bee is very short, and it is also very easy to get sick, and the age of the queen bee is also very large, so professional beekeepers should change the queen bee frequently.

Because the queen bee will reduce ovulation for a long time, it will also cause information deviation, which will affect the speed and time of honey collection of the overall bee, so it is necessary to change the queen bee frequently.

In order to maximize honey production, but also to allow the queen bee to rest, so it should be replaced frequently, so that the queen bee can continue to use it the next year.
