Do you know what are the techniques and precautions for splitting bees in the same box?

Bees are the most important way for bees to expand their populations, because of the different methods of bee division, there are two kinds of natural bees and artificial bees, and artificial bees can be subdivided due to different specific operations, such as Wangtai bees, no king bees, bees in the same box, etc., let's take a look at the bees in the same box and precautions!

First, the principle of operation

The same box bee is to divide the bee colony into two in the same beehive, the basic operation is to first separate the worker bee and the hive spleen on both sides of the beehive, and then separate the middle with a closed partition and open a hive door on the side of the non-nest door, the biggest advantage of using this method to divide the bee is safety, because if the bee division is not successful, the bee colony can be merged into a group at any time, if the bee division is successful, then only one of the groups of bees needs to be transferred to other beehives.

Second, the natural king platform

When there is a natural king in the bee colony, it is most suitable to divide the bees in the same box, the specific operation is to keep only one of the best king in all the natural king tables, and then bring the nest spleen with the king table to the other end of the beehive, and then move about half of the nest spleen and the worker bees to ensure that the queen bee no longer has one end of the king platform, and finally use a partition to separate the beehive from it and add a nest door, after this operation, the king and some worker bees will form a new bee colony.

3. Urgently build a royal platform

The bee in the same box does not require that there must be a king in the bee colony, in fact, when there is no natural king in the bee colony, the bee can also be divided into the same box, the specific operation is to divide the beehive into two parts with a partition and a kingless area, but there must be a larval spleen for the king in the kingless area, after 1 2 days after this division, the kingless area will use the small larvae of the worker bee to make the king and raise the king, and wait for the king to be covered after only retaining a position and development of the best king.

4. Precautions

1. The bees in the same box must be divided by a partition or a closed partition board, because the use of ordinary partition board to divide the bee colony is prone to the partial concentration of worker bees.

2. The same box can be used to form a double queen group of Italian bees, but it is generally not recommended to form a double queen group of medium bees, because the middle bee has strong bee division and is relatively difficult to add a relay box.

3. The same box bee has certain requirements for the group potential of the original bee colony, among which the strong group of bees in the same box is easy to succeed, and the group is easy to fail when the group is too weak.

It is necessary to pay attention to the environment, but also to the way of separation, but also to the choice of queen bee, to pay attention to the method of taking honey, but also to pay attention to the protection of the on-site environment.

In the breeding of bees, the division of the box is not the only way to expand the scale of the apiary, the artificial division of bees is the ideal way to expand the size of the bee colony, and the artificial division of bees can have a variety of methods such as equal and unequal division of bees and mixed full division of bees;

But it is better to be thorough in the afternoon, because between 1 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, most of the worker bees will go out to move, and then everyone can remove the queen bee from the hive;

And set up the nest base and nest frame in the new hive, and then apply some beeswax and honey to the hive, and when the bees return to the nest at night, they will enter the new hive.

Bees can be divided when they reach more than six spleens.

Precautions bee boxing is mostly carried out in early spring, the weather at that time is not stable, you should choose the weather when the temperature is higher to enter the box, in the box, the distance between the two beehives can not be too far, and to introduce a new queen bee for the bees in time, if the two beehives are close, there will be a fight between the two queens, which is particularly unfavorable to the smooth distribution of the box.

In fact, the sub-box of bees can be divided into two ways: the traditional breeding of bees and the modern live frame breeding of bees.

Then the artificial bee division of the live frame breeding bee is different from the artificial bee division method of the traditional breeding bee, because the activity of the nest spleen in the two breeding methods is not the same, the live frame breeding can move the nest spleen at will, but the bee colony raised by the soil method is unable to move the nest spleen, so the way used when dividing the bees is not the same.

Bees can be divided when they reach more than six spleens (but if you want to produce honey, it is best to have ten spleens), and now at this time, you should be about to raise kings, and before the next big stream of honey comes, this batch of kings can start to give birth! There are not a lot of precautions, first, we must be optimistic about the new king, don't come back and be surrounded, and after the bees, it is best not to divide them equally, it is best to wait for the new king to give birth, and then slowly make up for it, so it is the best.

When dividing the bees, you need to place the new hive and the old hive more than 20 meters apart, and when moving the queen bee, you need to move all the larvae with larvae near the queen bee to the new hive. If the two hives are placed too close together, some of the honey will fly back into the original hive.

The methods and techniques of bee box division are natural bee trapping, artificial bee separation, and single group equal box division.

1. Natural bee trapping method:

Set up a beetrap about 30 meters from the door of the beehive, so that the bees can find the beetrap first when dividing the bees, and the bees will not fly away after the natural bee splitting, but fly into the set beetrap.

2. Artificial bee separation

Artificial bee separation needs to be carried out when the king platform has been produced in the bee colony, and the king platform has matured. First, remove the original bee bucket, then put a new bee bucket in the position of the original bee bucket, cut a mature king platform from the original bee bucket, and put the number of bee spleen sticky objects on the wall of the new bee bucket, and then scoop out a small number of young bees from the original bee bucket and put them into the new bee bucket.

3. Single-group equal box distribution method:

For the bees in the live frame culture, move the original bee colony of the ant source away from the position of half of the beehive, put a new beehive in the position of the original beehive, let the new beehive be juxtaposed with the original beehive, and then distribute the honeycomb, sub-spleen and bees in the original bee colony evenly into the two beehives, and the two beehives only open the nest door on the side to avoid the bees from becoming lost.

The ideal time is between 1 and 4 p.m., when most of the worker bees will be out and about, and when the worker bees go out, they can remove the queen bee from the hive and place the nest base and nest frame in the new hive. Then apply some beeswax and honey to the hive, and in the evening when the bees return to their nests, they will enter the new hive.

Cleaning up the queen bee platform in the bee colony and transferring the egg worm spleen to increase the workload of the worker bees can control the bee fever, but not eliminate the bee fever. Replace the new queen bee, and the old queen bee colony will appear alternate king, which is the law of the natural development of the bee colony, which can eliminate the bee colony and bee fever.

The following conditions should be taken into account during the period of passing the container:

1. Honey source conditions: If it is found that the bees collect diligently, the honey begins to accumulate in the nest, and new wax traces appear on the nest frame, it means that there is a certain source of honey in the wild. During this period, it is not easy to cause its bee theft, and after passing the box, the new spleen repairs and builds a blind hand to quickly stare at the spring, and the bee colony can quickly recover and grow.

Otherwise, the bee colony cannot immediately repair the spleen and reproduce, and it is in a state of stagnation, and it is easy to escape from the group;

2. Weather conditions: Since the spleen will inevitably be exposed for a period of time during the operation, it should be carried out in a temperature of more than 20 degrees. In rainy periods, it is not advisable to pass the box, when the wind is strong, the bee is dry, and it has a certain impact on the spleen, and it is not suitable to pass the box.

The period of bee division is as follows:

Splitting bees generally occur in the spring. The queen bee leads two-thirds of the members of the colony to migrate, giving up the throne to another bee, and while the scout bees go out to find a suitable nesting site, the colony of the split bees rests near the original hive. At this time, the bees will never attack, because they are well prepared when they leave the nest, and each of them has honey in their mouths.
