When is the best time to harvest honey? How to cut honey safely?

Honey is the honey collected by bees from the nectar or secretions of plants, which is fully brewed, and the time to cut honey is generally at night, and the time to cut honey should pay attention to the temperature and weather, and it is not suitable to cut honey in rainy weather.

Honey should be harvested every evening, because in the evening, bees do not attend very much, most of the worker bees.

All returned to the nest. When collecting honey, it should not be done in rainy weather, and in addition, the time of honey collection should be determined according to the temperature of the weather.

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 carried out in the middle of the morning, the temperature at this time is relatively high in a day, the spleen is not easy to be frozen, if it is winter, there should be enough spleen to ensure that the bees survive the winter, it is best not to take honey.

in rape flowers. Honey can be taken from the middle of the flowering period to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in the middle of the rape flower, 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.

You can cut as much as you want, it doesn't matter, but you have to put a bowl of white sugar water in the bee bucket to have enough sweetness, put some pine needles and other things in the bowl of white sugar water, so that the bees can stand on it and drink it, if there is nothing in the bowl, the bees will die.

Wear protective clothing.

If you put on plastic clothes and expose your nose, you won't be able to pierce them, and you have to pierce your clothes a few holes, or you will suffocate yourself.

The best time of year for bees to take honey depends on the climate and vegetation conditions in different regions. In general, bees collect the most pollen and nectar in spring and summer, so spring and summer are the best times to collect honey. In southern China, due to the warm climate and lush vegetation, bees can collect pollen and nectar for most of the year.

In the south, spring (March-May) and summer (June-August) are the best times to get honey, when the plant grows vigorously, has a longer flowering period, and has an abundant production of pollen and nectar. In northern China, where the climate is colder, bees can only collect pollen and nectar when the temperature is right and the flowering period is longer. Generally speaking, honey is collected from the end of May to mid-July in the northern region, which is also the growing season for plants in the northern region.

In general, the honey extraction time varies from region to region and needs to be decided according to the local climate and vegetation. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the protection of the living environment and health of the bee colony when taking honey.

When the bees collect the honey and meet the storage conditions of the bees, the honey is capped. At this time, we beekeepers can harvest honey, so how do beekeepers cut honey?

Before cutting honey, you need to prepare the work, prepare the honey cutting knife, strainer, and bucket for honey. Anti-sting hat, you can cut honey at this time.

After putting on the anti-sting hat, open the beehive, lift the honey nest spleen, and then shake the bee down into the beehive, you can take out the clean nest spleen and cut the honey. The honey is on the top of the nest, and the pollen and bees are on the bottom, and we just need to cut out the honey on top with a honey cutter.

You can also use a honey shaker to shake honey. After shaking the honey with a honey shaker, you only need to use a honey cutter to cut off the cover of the honey and put it in the honey shaker to shake out the honey. The honey shaker uses centrifugal action, which can shake out the honey without cutting the nest spleen.

Native bees need to smoke the bees to the side with smoke to cut the honey. Because of the spleen caused by the soil bees, it is necessary to cut off the whole nest spleen before the honey can be cut. After the honey is cut, the rest of the spleen should not be damaged, and it should be tied back to the bees to continue to do.

Soil-raised bees may hurt their spleen when they cut honey.

After the honey is cut, it is filtered to filter out the wax shavings. A bee that falls into the honey while cutting the honey. Once filtered, the honey can be bottled and preserved.

The time to harvest honey is spring, summer and autumn, around the end of March, the first batch of mature honey, early shake honey can vacate the honey nest in time, promote the early reproduction and development of bee colonies. Honey must be cut to leave enough food for the bee colony.

The number of times you cut honey in summer should be increased appropriately, and you can cut honey once in 3 or 5 days. Frequent honey cutting can promote worker bees to actively collect honey, the main nectar source is after the end of the flowering period, followed by scattered nectar sources, then the honey cutting interval should be appropriately increased, 15 20 days 1 time. In the middle of summer, there are very few flower sources, and honey can be suspended for a period of time.

Autumn flowers are significantly less than summer flowers, the amount of honey collected by worker bees is reduced, honey cutting needs to be done in moderation, honey can be cut 1 2 times, there are fewer honey sources in winter, the climate is cold, the number of worker bees out of the nest is reduced, and honey cutting is stopped in winter.
