Is there any pattern to bees multiplying and increasing spleen?

The nest spleen is built by bees with beeswax, whether the bee colony is cultivating new bees or storing food is inseparable from the nest spleen, the spring breeding period to the bee colony to add the nest spleen is mainly to expand the queen bee's spawning space, which is extremely beneficial to the rapid development of the bee colony, but must be reasonably added according to factors such as group potential and climate, otherwise the development of the bee colony may do more harm than good.

1. Quantity: bees should determine the amount of spleen according to the group potential when adding spleen in spring, the most basic principle is to ensure that the bee has excess spleen after adding a new nest spleen, in fact, the bee excess spleen is also the healthiest bee spleen relationship, when the climate is suitable, it can also be appropriately relaxed to the bee spleen proportionate, but at any time the bee colony is less than the spleen group for a long time, it is bound to collapse, so the spring breeding period should be flexibly adjusted according to the group potential to add spleen.

2. Location: The position of the spleen in the spring reproduction period of bees has an obvious impact on spring reproduction, and the most basic principle is "strong group plus middle, weak group plus both sides", the reason is that the strong group will add the spleen in the middle is conducive to the rapid spleen production of the bee colony, and the weak group will add the spleen on both sides is conducive to the spleen protection of worker bees, especially in the early stage of spring reproduction, it must be strictly implemented, otherwise the spleen may be frozen or even frozen to death larvae.

1. Purpose discussion.

The nest spleen is built by bees with beeswax, whether the bee colony is cultivating new bees or storing food is inseparable from the nest spleen, the spring breeding period to the bee colony to add the nest spleen is mainly to expand the queen bee's spawning space, which is extremely beneficial to the rapid development of the bee colony, but must be reasonably added according to factors such as group potential and climate, otherwise the development of the bee colony may do more harm than good.

2. Quantity control.

The most basic principle is to ensure that the bee has a surplus spleen after adding a new nest spleen, and when the climate and other conditions are suitable, it can also be relaxed to the bee spleen, and the bee colony is bound to collapse if the bee colony is less than the spleen group for a long time, for example, the strong group can add the whole nest spleen at one time, while the weak group can only add half or even a quarter of the nest spleen.

3. The best location.

The most basic principle is "strong group plus middle, weak group plus both sides", the reason is that the strong group will add the spleen in the middle is conducive to the rapid spleen of the bee colony, and the weak group will add the spleen on both sides is conducive to the spleen protection of the worker bees, especially in the early stage of spring multiplication, it must be strictly implemented, otherwise the spleen may be frozen in the cooling weather.

Honey bees generally need to add spleen after 30 days, which is determined according to the conditions of the group, weather, nectar source, technology, etc., and the principle is to ensure that the bee colony has enough spleen protection ability. The climate is changeable during the spring breeding period, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so attention should be paid to heat preservation; The specific time of spring multiplication should grasp the principle of "rather sooner than early"; In the early stage of spring reproduction, it is necessary to ensure that "there are more bees than spleen", and in the middle stage, it is necessary to ensure that "the bee spleen is commensurate", and do not "have fewer bees and more spleen"; Reward feeding must be continuous during spring breeding, and the hygiene of the feed must be ensured.

First, the bees multiply in the spring, and the spleen bees add spleen for a few days

1. A spleen bee spring multiplication generally takes 30 days to add a spleen, specifically according to the group potential, weather, nectar source, technology and other conditions to the bee colony in a timely manner to add the nest spleen, the principle is to ensure that the bee colony has enough spleen protection ability. In the first 30 days, the spleen should not be added, otherwise the worker bees may cause spring failure due to insufficient spleen protection ability.

2. A spleen bee can not add the whole nest spleen at one time, you can add 1 4 nest spleens in the early stage, when the group potential reaches two spleen bees, you can add half a nest spleen, and when the group potential reaches more than three spleens, you can directly add the whole nest spleen. When adding a spleen, a new spleen should be added on both sides to help the worker bees protect the spleen, and it can be added in the middle only after the group becomes stronger, so as to facilitate the rapid spleen creation of the worker bees.

2. What are the precautions for bee spring reproduction?

1. Strengthen heat preservation.

The climate is more changeable during the spring breeding period, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the temperature at night is too low and may cause the worker bees to freeze to death, so it is necessary to do a good job of heat preservation.

2. It's better to be sooner rather than later.

The specific time of spring multiplication varies depending on the climate in different places, but the basic principle of spring multiplication is "it is better to be late than early". Too early the temperature will cause the colony to "premature aging", and too late will not be able to catch up with the flow of honey from the big honey source.

3. There are more bees than spleen.

In the early stage of spring reproduction, it is necessary to ensure that "there are more bees than spleen", and when the spleen is added in the middle stage, it is necessary to ensure that "the bee spleen is commensurate", and do not "have fewer bees and more spleen". If the bees have fewer spleens and more spleens, it is not conducive to the insulation of the colony and the spleen protection of the worker bees, which will lead to the freezing of the spleen of the colony or the outbreak of various larval diseases.

4. Reward feeding.

Reward feeding must be continuous during spring breeding, and the hygiene of the feed must be ensured, so as to avoid bee diseases caused by the consumption of problem feed.

<><1. Swarm potential: The time of bee spring spleen and spleen deficiency should be determined according to the group potential, because the more spleens in the bee colony under the same swarm potential, the weaker the spleen protection ability of the worker bees, so the bee-spleen relationship after adding the spleen should ensure that the bee has more spleen or at least the bee spleen is commensurate, and any time the bee colony is in a state of less bees and more spleen for a long time, the group potential will eventually be dragged down.

2. Nectar source: The bee spleen time in spring should be determined according to the nectar source, the reason is that the bee colony wax wax spleen and feeding larvae need to consume a large amount of nectar and pollen, if the nectar source is too small, the spleen will not only not play the purpose of promoting the rapid spleen production of the bee colony, but also increase the burden on the bee colony and affect the development speed of the bee colony.

3. Temperature: The time for bees to add spleen in spring should be determined according to the temperature, because the spleen of the bee colony and the insect need to have a suitable and relatively stable temperature, and the ability of the bee colony to regulate the temperature after the spleen is added, so the spleen may be frozen when the temperature is low or the temperature difference between day and night is large.
