When bees want to break up , how do they need to manage it?

Artificial bee separation: When the bee colony has produced bee fever, the method of artificial bee division can be adopted, and the queen bee, 1 2 boxes of young bees, an old pupal spleen and a honey powder spleen in the emotional bee colony are put into the prepared beehives as a separate group, and the original group selects a better natural king or lures in the new king to destroy the rest of the kings; You can also leave the queen bee in the original colony and introduce a better natural king or new king to the group. As the colony splits into two groups, the colony weakens and the new king lays eggs aggressively, and the fever is eliminated.

I remember that the bees wanted to split up because they had two queens, so we had to take out one king first, and there was only one king left.

Honey bees are typical social social insects, and the division is the main way for bees to expand the population, simply put, a group of bees can become two or more groups of bees after separation, but the separation will weaken the bee colony and reduce the collection efficiency, let's take a look at what to do if the bees want to keep it!

1. Destroy the royal platform

Destroying the royal platform is the most direct way to prevent the bees from separating, because the bees must have two queens (or a queen bee and a royal platform) when they are separated, although destroying the royal platform can prevent the bees from separating in a short time, but only destroying the royal platform can not fundamentally solve the problem of bee separation, but will make the bees split the idea of becoming stronger and stronger, and even the king may split together.

2. Replace the queen bee

The lack of "queen pheromone" secreted by the queen bee is an important reason for the bee separation, so the bee must carefully check the situation of the queen bee when it wants to separate, if the queen bee has the old, weak, sick and disabled, etc., it is necessary to replace the new queen bee in time for the bee colony, and the quality of the queen bee itself will also affect the frequency and enthusiasm of the family.

3. Expand the beehive

The internal space of the beehive is too small is an important reason for the bee separation, especially when the group is too strong, it is easy to divide the phenomenon with a small beehive, so the bees want to pay attention to judge whether the beehive is too small, if the beehive is too small to cause the separation, it is necessary to change the beehive to a larger beehive, and you can also add a relay box to the beehive to expand the internal space of the beehive.

Fourth, adjust the nest spleen

Overcrowding inside the beehive is an important reason for the bee separation, especially in the honeycomb during the large honey flow period, the honeycomb is often stuffed with honeycombs and spleens, and eventually the bees often have nowhere to make a spleen for the queen bee to lay eggs and cause the separation, so the bees should adjust the nest spleen in the beehive in time when they want to separate, for example, the old nest spleen in the beehive can be lifted out and the excessive honey accumulated in the beehive can be taken out in time.

5. Reduce the temperature

When the internal temperature of the beehive is too high, it is an important reason for the bees to divide their families, especially in late spring and early summer, the bee colony often separates due to the high temperature in the hive, so the bees should reduce the temperature inside the beehive in time when they want to separate, for example, the spleen or honeycomb in the beehive can be taken out to enhance the heat dissipation and cooling ability of the beehive, and the hive door can also be appropriately expanded to enhance the ventilation ability of the beehive.

6. Precautions

1. When the bees want to split the family, destroying the Wangtai can only cure the symptoms, and finding out the reason for the separation and properly dealing with it can cure the root cause.

2. When bees want to separate and cannot be properly handled, it is recommended to manually divide bees, because artificial bee separation can completely divide the bee colony into two or more bee colonies according to the beekeeper's ideas.

3. Although bee separation can increase the number of bee colonies in apiaries, it will reduce the efficiency of bee colonies in producing honey, so it is generally recommended that bees should not be separated during the large honey flow period.

The lack of "queen pheromones" secreted by the queen bee is an important reason for the separation of bees. Therefore, when the bees want to split up, it is essential to carefully check the situation of the queen bee. If the queen bee suffers from old age, weakness, sickness and disability, it must be replaced with a new queen in time.

In addition, the quality of the queen bee itself will also affect the frequency and motivation of separation. At this point, beekeepers should pay attention to breeding queen bees with few separations. The internal space of the beehive is too small is an important reason for the bee separation, especially in the case of too strong group potential, the phenomenon of separation is easy to occur with small beehives, so when the bees want to separate, we must pay attention to judge whether the beehive is too small, if the beehive is too small to cause the separation, you can replace the large beehive, you can also add a relay box to the beehive to expand the internal space of the beehive.

Destroying the king is the most direct method, and it is also very effective, which can prevent the bees from breaking up in a short time.

1. Destroying Wangtai, destroying Wangtai is the most direct way to prevent bees from separating, because there must be two bees before the bee Fan Tan (or a queen bee and a king), although destroying Wangtai can prevent bees from separating in a short time, but just destroying Wangtai can not fundamentally solve the problem of bee separation, but will make the idea of bee separation become stronger and stronger, and even Wangtai may be separated together.

2. Replace the queen bee, the queen bee secretes the "queen bee pheromone" is not enough is an important reason for the bee to divide the family, so the bee must carefully check the queen bee when you want to divide the family, if the queen bee has the old, weak, sick and disabled, etc., the bee colony should be replaced with a new queen bee in time, in addition, the quality of the queen bee itself will also affect the frequency and enthusiasm of the family, for this point beekeepers are required to pay attention to cultivating the queen bee with a small number of divisions.

3. Expand the beehive, the internal space of the beehive is too small is an important reason for the bee separation, especially when the group is too strong, it is easy to divide the phenomenon with a small beehive, so the bees want to divide the family when they want to pay attention to judge whether the beehive is too small, if the beehive is too small to cause the separation, it is necessary to change the beehive to a larger beehive, and you can also add a relay box to the beehive to expand the internal space of the beehive.

4. Adjust the nest spleen, the overcrowding inside the beehive is an important reason for the bee separation, especially in the honeycomb during the large flow of honey, the honeycomb is often stuffed with honeycombs and spleens, and finally the bees often have nowhere to make a spleen for the queen bee to lay eggs and cause the separation, so the bees want to divide the family to adjust the nest spleen in the beehive in time, for example, the old nest spleen in the beehive can be taken out and the honey accumulated in the beehive is taken out in time.

5. Reduce the temperature, when the internal temperature of the beehive is too high, it is an important reason for the separation of the honeycomb, especially in the late spring and early summer, the bee colony is often separated due to the high temperature in the hive, so the bees should reduce the temperature inside the beehive in time when they want to separate, for example, the spleen or honeycomb in the beehive can be taken out to enhance the heat dissipation and cooling ability of the beehive, and the hive door can also be appropriately expanded to enhance the ventilation ability of the beehive.

For the bee splitting, experts put forward two explanations: honey production is insufficient, there are more hives used as splenoids, and at this time, the queen bee eggs are increased, which must be solved by bee splitting; Or hormones can prompt the birth of a new queen bee, forcing the old queen to leave the nest.

When dividing the bees, the old queen bee only takes a few bees and leaves more bees for the new queen bee. The queen bee is in a colony and has a lifespan of 3 to 5 years. Due to the gradual decline in the reproductive rate of the elderly queen bee, it is often artificially eliminated in the beekeeping industry.

Because bees are social insects, it is difficult for a bee to survive, and they exist in nature in a group.

Each swarm consists of a queen bee, tens of millions of worker bees, and a small number of drones. The eggs laid by the queen bee become bees, and the colony grows day by day, and after a certain period of time, the queen bee can no longer increase the number of eggs produced, and the colony can no longer increase and grow.

When the bees grow to a certain extent, the worker bees begin to cultivate new queens, and the old queens will realize the threat of the new queen and try to destroy them, but the worker bees will protect the new queen until they have matured.

The old queen bee will not sit still, so she will take some of the bees to escape from the original nest and build a new hive outside, which is the bee division is also called the bee division, which increases from one group to two groups. Bee separation is an instinct of bees, so as to complete the true reproduction of bees.

Bees are social insects, and it is difficult for a bee to survive, and they are a group of bees as individuals to stand in nature. Each swarm consists of a queen bee, tens of millions of worker bees, and a small number of drones. The queen bee is actually just a female bee with reproductive ability and is the mother of the entire colony.

A bee colony is equivalent to a chicken, and after the chicken comes out of the egg, it grows day by day, and finally grows into an adult chicken, and it cannot grow any longer. The same is true of bee colonies, when the eggs laid by the queen bee become bees, the bee colony grows day by day, and after a certain period of time, the queen bee can no longer increase the number of eggs produced, and the bee colony can no longer increase and grow, just like the chicken can no longer grow up after it grows into an adult. The queen bee lays eggs and reproduces bees can not be regarded as bee reproduction in the real sense, because it is only an increase in the number of bees in a group, and the number of swarms does not increase.

When the bee grows to a certain extent, changes occur in the bee colony, the worker bee begins to cultivate a new queen, the new queen in the cultivation process, the old queen bee will realize the threat of the new queen bee, and try to destroy, but the worker bee will protect the pupa of the larvae of the new queen, and when the new queen develops and matures, the old queen bee realizes that the new queen is about to come out, or a life-and-death battle, and the result of the battle is often that the old queen is killed and the new queen is replaced. Unless the old queen bee is so old that she can't fly and can only sit and wait to die, it is generally the old queen bee who escapes from the original nest with some bees and builds a new hive outside, which is the bee division (bee division), which increases from one group to two groups. That is, the reproduction of bees in the true sense of the word.

In terminology, bees naturally divide bees.

When the number of bees in a nest reaches the upper limit, they will split up and multiply by dividing their families.
