How many days after the king is sealed, can the bees be artificially divided?

Wangtai is a temporary nest built when the bee colony cultivates a new queen bee, in fact, a royal platform represents a new queen bee, and artificial bee division refers to the artificial split of the bee colony into two or more bee colonies, in the beekeeping production beekeepers often use the royal platform to manually divide the bees, let's take a look at the Wang Tai cover a few days after the artificial bee division of it!

First, the development of Wangtai

After the foundation of the royal platform is built, the queen bee will lay a fertilized egg, the fertilized egg hatches into a larva after about 3 days, the larvae have been feeding on royal jelly and about 5 days to cover and pupate, the pupal stage after 8 days to emerge into a bee, the new queen bee is fully sexually mature after 3 days out of the house, 4 5 days after leaving the house will recognize the nest and test flight, and then in the sunny weather out of the nest and the drone mate, 1 3 days after the tail begins to lay eggs.

Second, the bee time

6 7 days after the closure of Wangtai is the best time for artificial bee separation, there are two main reasons, one is that the bee colony itself has a strong idea of bee division at this time, and the other is that the development of the new queen bee in Wangtai has matured at this time, if the new queen bee in the artificial queen bee Taizhong is easy to die due to improper heat preservation and other problems, if the artificial bee division time is too late, the bee colony may have natural bee division.

3. Bee separation method

The biggest problem of artificial bee division is that the bee is easy to return to the bee phenomenon after the bee is divided, and the solution is to use the old queen bee and the new worker bee to form a new bee colony, the specific operation is to put forward all the new worker bees in the bee colony within 8 days of age and form a new bee colony with the old queen bee, and the original hive is left to the remaining old worker bees and the king platform that is about to be feathered out of the house (only one of the best quality king platforms is retained, and the other king platforms can be destroyed).

4. Precautions

1. The best time for artificial bee division is when Wangtai tends to mature, and the bee colony itself has a strong idea of bee division, so the bee colony can stabilize faster after artificial bee division.

2. It is best to use new worker bees to form a new bee colony, because the new worker bees have not yet recognized the nest and tested the flight, and it is relatively difficult to return to the bee phenomenon with the artificial bees of new worker bees.

3. After artificial bee division, the management of the bee colony should be strengthened, especially the number of worker bees in the Wangtai group, and if the colony is too weak, the cap spleen can be extracted from other groups.

Because at this time, the bee colony itself has a strong idea of separation, and the development of the new queen bee in the royal stage is close to maturity. If the bee is divided too early, the new queen bee is prone to death due to temperature problems, and if the bee is divided too late, the colony may carry out natural bee separation.

6-7 days after the capping of the king, the bees can be manually separated, and the reproduction and activity of the bee colony are slightly different. After the new queen bee matures, it can be artificially divided. At this time, generally about 6-7 days after the closure of the royal platform, the new bee colony has also formed a relatively strong sense of reunion.

This is about 6 or 7 days when the bees can be manually separated, and at this time, it can avoid a certain impact due to temperature problems.

It is necessary to cover the king table first, so that it can be better solved, and you must pay attention to the surrounding temperature, and you need to pay attention to the selection of beehives.

Keep 2 queen bee tables and carry out the operation of manual bee separation, and you can do it.

You can install an anti-running piece near the nest door, and you can also change the appearance of the box appropriately. Keep both boxes at the same height.

Since the capping period of the queen bee cap is eight days, under normal circumstances, the bee ** bee is generally at most 6 to 7 days after the capping in the queen table, so from the normal.

In terms of the situation, if we want to transfer the capped platform to other colonies before the bees divide into bees, then we should move the crown platform before the sixth day after the crown is sealed.

But if we move the throne too early, the throne is too young at this time, and it is easy to hurt the throne, so the best way is to think that it is best to do it on the fourth to fifth day after the throne is sealed.

The queen bee platform has not yet been covered, and the bees can be divided, and the old king is proposed to be another group.

Splitting bees is recommended in the spring. 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. Spring flourishes at this time, and bees can develop rapidly.

Spring multiplication is the time of the year when bees develop the fastest, and if you miss this time, you may have to wait for the next year to develop bees.

2 4 days after the capping, it was proposed that Lao Wang make another group.

Can the queen bee be separated without a cap?

The chance of being out of the king will be smaller, because the king stage is blocked for 8 days.

The color of the royal platform is relatively white, and it is generally covered for 1 3 days. If the color is yellow, it is covered for 4-5 days. If the chin color is darker, it may be that the introduction period is approaching, so you have to pay attention to the grouping.

On the seventh day, it should be carefully raised, and the head of the stage can be moved slightly when it turns black. This is the most tender time, and the head of the table is dark, and if it is not for the zoning of the king, it is easy to be gnawed off.

After the king platform was sealed, the insects inside had just begun to pupate, and they could not be moved or placed alone, and they needed to be kept warm by worker bees. When the lid is closed, it is safe to move, and the old table should also be kept warm, carefully wrapped in a napkin, placed in a cigarette case and other things that will not be crushed, and it is best to keep it vertical, and finally put it in underwear, the human body is 37 degrees and the honeycomb parenting area is about the same, to avoid vibration, you can take it far away.

After the king is sealed, after 6-7 days, the artificial bee division can be carried out, at this time the bee colony has a strong idea of separation, and the new queen bee development in the king is close to maturity, it is the best time to divide the bees, in the process of artificial bee separation, it is necessary to pay attention to the bee colony with a strong idea of bee division may divide the bees early, and the old queen bee only begins to divide the bees after laying fertilized eggs.

After the king is sealed, after 6-7 days, the bee colony has a strong idea of separation, and the new queen bee development in the king is close to maturity, if the bee division time is too early, the new queen bee is easy to die because of temperature problems, and the bee colony may naturally divide the bees if the bee is too late.

After the king platform is sealed, find out the queen bee and put it in the cage of the king of prisons, put it outside the hive door, and then put the 6 bees and the old queen bee into the new beehive, and keep one king and 4 bees in the original bee colony.

The best time for artificial bee division is when Wangtai tends to mature, at this time the bee colony itself has a strong idea of bee division, so the bee colony can stabilize faster after artificial bee division, and it is best to use new worker bees to form a new bee colony, because the new worker bees have not yet recognized the nest and test flight, and it is not easy to return to the bee.

After the foundation of the royal platform is built, the queen bee will lay a fertilized egg, the fertilized egg hatches into a larvae after 3 days, the larvae have been feeding on royal jelly, about 5 days after the cap pupates, the pupal stage after 8 days to feather into a bee, the new queen bee is fully sexually mature after 3 days after leaving the house, and the nest will be recognized and test flight 4-5 days after leaving the room.
