    In our country, there is an agricultural product that matures only once a year and is harvested only once a year. Moreover, we are still a big country of this agricultural product, do you know what kind of food it is?

    It is the soil honey brewed by Chinese bees, which only matures once a year, and only half is cut every year, and half is left for the honey to survive the winter.

    Nowadays, there are many people who have eaten honey but do not know how it came from. Today, let's take the earth bee as an example, a wave of popular science.

    First of all, the native bee is actually the wild bee attracted by beekeepers in the wild, after breeding and dividing the bees, the bee colony will gradually grow, of course, the premise of this reproduction is that the surrounding environment must be pollution-free and rich in plant diversity. China's Qinling Mountains is one of the world's three major sources of honey, which is the inheritance of beekeeping after thousands of years.

    And this way of cutting honey actually refers to soil honey. Native bees build their own nests, collect honey and brew their own in old-fashioned barrel boxes. And beekeepers, wait until the peak honey harvesting season to check whether there is ripe honey in the beehive.

    If the honey has been capped (a sign of low moisture and ripeness), you can use a honey cutter to cut off the honeycomb and start squeezing the honey.

    Our ancestors once stipulated the number of months to cut honey every year, but with the change of ecological environment and climate, now different provinces, the soil bees, the honey harvesting season is different.

    On the Taibai Medicine Mountain, the main vein of the Qinling Mountains, it is the honey cutting season of the original products of Qindi. It's another year of honey harvesting season, and you don't go into the deep mountains for nothing.

    If there are beekeepers nearby, and they are more experienced beekeepers who have been breeding for a long time, we can ignore when to take honey, and directly see that people take honey and take honey, after all, the distance is short, the climate is the same, and the honey source is the same, so there is nothing wrong with following the old beekeeper.

    If we have a main nectar source locally, for example, there are rape flowers in our local area, which belongs to a major nectar source, then we will take this main nectar source as the standard, from the flowering of this nectar source plant to the flowering, this time is the bee collecting honey, so as long as we see the rape flowers, it means that there is enough nectar storage in the bee colony to extract honey.

    It is usually in May, and the honey is only cut once a year, because each time it is very damaging and takes a long time to overdo it.

    Native beekeeping generally harvests honey in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, but can be harvested from the middle of rape flowers to the Mid-Autumn Festival. The bees in the middle of the natural barrel of rape flowers reproduce vigorously, the eggs and spleens are continuous, the pollen is pouring in, the honey is not much, although the honey can be cut but the yield is not high, it can be calculated from the last bee split, the highest yield of honey cutting around 20 days, before cutting the honey outside the box with a finger from top to bottom a few times, the sound is dull is the honey layer, the light sound is the spleen layer, and the empty sound is no honey.

    1. The best honey is around May of the lunar calendar.

    2. The best time varies depending on the way of feeding, among which the bees in the soil only take honey once a year and concentrate in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the reason is that the damage to the bee colony when the bees in the soil is almost fatal, so the honey is often only taken once a year when the honey is stored in the hive.

    3. The live frame raised bees can take honey at any time according to the honey storage situation, but the honey collection time is also mostly concentrated in late spring and early summer to around the Mid-Autumn Festival.

    This needs to be on a case-by-case basis. Soil honey.

    That is, medium honey is brewed by Chinese bees, so there is relatively little soil honey, and the honey extraction time is also affected by many factors.

    Dear, hello, the time to cut honey is spring, summer and autumn Around the end of March, the first batch of mature honey, early shake honey can vacate the honeycomb room in time to 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.

    Diligent honey cutting can promote the active honey collection of bees, the main nectar source after the end of the flowering period, followed by scattered nectar sources, at this time 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 Birang type flowers are significantly less than summer flowers, the amount of honey collected by worker bees is reduced, and the honey needs to be cut to a suitable trip, and the honey can be cut 1 or 2 times, and the nectar source is less in winter, the climate is cold, and the worker bees are less out of the nest

    Summary. Hello, the best time to harvest bees is April. Because the capture of wild bees is based on the nesting habits and rules of wild bees, tracking back to the nest, finding the hive of wild bees, and then collecting them.

    Hunting wild bees is more suitable in the north in the summer. In the south of the Yangtze River, bees can be active all year round, and it is better to carry out the warm climate in April, May and October, when the honey source is abundant and the bee colony is strong.

    Hello, the best time to harvest bees is April. Because the capture of wild bees is based on the nesting habits and laws of wild bees, tracking back to the nest, finding the hive of the wild honey lead bee, and then collecting it. Hunting wild bees is more suitable in the north in the summer.

    In the south of the Yangtze River, bees can be active all year round, and it is better to carry out the weather in April, May and October, when the climate is warm, the honey source is abundant, and the bee colony is strong.

    In the house, I saw wild bees, and there was a beehive, how did I take them back?

    Being able to open the hive is relatively simple, because we can open the hive with a few fingers. First: Prepare tools to cut honey knives, beehives, tie lead wire nest frames, lead wires, clamps, protective equipment, smoke smokers, bamboo strips, small tables, two people, bucket teaser gloves, anti-escape piece.

    Second: choose the time to choose the time in the evening, when there are more bees, and most of the field bees have returned to the nest. Third:

    Prepare the tools during the harvesting process, open the hive, spray smoke on the bee colony, disperse the bees, leave a nest spleen for the egg worm spleen, and take off the rest, if there is a lot of honey, you can put the honey in the bucket, and the other larval spleens on a small table, so as not to hurt it. Step 4: Spleen TyingWhen we mess up the hive, the bees will clump together at the place where we leave the eggs and spleen.

    At this time, we don't care about the bees, first take out the bee spleen we take, except for those honey spleens left by us, all cut into a regular shape, to be able to get stuck on the nest base frame, tie our cut nest spleen to the nest base frame potato beam, and then use the lead wire and bamboo strips we prepared to fix the nest spleen, and then put it into the beehive, close the nest door.

    I saw it in the south of the Yangtze River in Nanjing, and the bee hive was in the joint room, when would I be able to take it back?

    The time is to harvest in the evening, and the bees are returning to the nest more.

    Okay thank you.

    How to collect it without beehives, in my hometown, dig holes in earthen houses, use the fence bucket for grain in the countryside, and make 4 holes, but now they are all bungalows, and the buildings are easy to raise?

    Hello, it depends on how you can use your space.

    Honey meets bee storage standards for cuttable honey. Observing the honey collection of bees, as long as the bees are actively collecting honey and there is frequent water coming out of the strong swarm, this indicates that the bees in the hive are brewing honey in large quantities, which is a manifestation. of the harvest.

    In fact, the best time to consume honey during the day is in the morning, as in the afternoon the bees may add a lot of nectar. These nectar are not adequately processed by the bees and have a high water content, which can affect the quality of the honey. In the morning, the honey, the nectar collected by the bees on the first day has been completely processed.

    Although the heat is still part of the inferior honey, the quality is much better than that afternoon.

    When taking honey, if there is a smoke blower, it is better, use the smoke blower directly, if not, you can find some dry moxa sticks on the mountain, bundle them into bundles, open the beehive baffle when taking honey, and then blow some smoke on the lit moxa sticks against the bee group, because the bees are affected by the smoke, they will clump on the other side of the beehive, and the bee spleen will be naturally exposed, and we can take honey.

    Regarding the traditional breeding of bees to take honey, the bee tribe suggests to adopt the method of taking honey twice, the first time to take honey only one side, after taking the honey to wait for the bees to make a spleen, we have taken one side to make a spleen and then take the other side, so as to achieve the purpose of taking all the spleens in the bee colony, and have a good preventive effect on the breeding of nest insects.

    Each region is different, for example, the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains is harvested after the end of the ninth lunar month, while the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains is mostly harvested in the sixth month of the lunar calendar. It is also strange to have strange areas, such as Guangdong, which have a way of harvesting honey in April.

    Generally speaking, the nectar source is the best way to judge whether there is honey in the beehive, as long as there is honey in the outside world, the bees will naturally collect a large amount of honey, and after the nectar source is over, there will naturally be a large amount of honey in the hive.

    Therefore, if the honey is collected once in a flowering period, it is generally unpacked and inspected after the end of the nectar source, if the number of bee colonies is large, you can choose several typical beehives to open the box for inspection, and then infer the honey collection of the entire beehive to decide whether to cut the honey.

    From the perspective of bee breeding, the bee tribe thinks that this method is not necessarily good, generally a year to take honey in the autumn, in fact, there is honey in the beehive in the spring and summer, but the number is not much, many beekeepers are reluctant to take, but if they are fed, the same bees can pass the summer, and the honey can also be taken in the autumn.

    In the case of not many honey sources, keeping spring honey is actually equivalent to leaving rations for bees in summer, which cannot be stored until autumn, and in fact it is still autumn honey, so the best way is to take honey once after spring, and then feed, and the first honey source in autumn is used to take honey once, mainly used to feed bees. Take it again in the autumn to get more honey.

    Native beekeeping harvests honey in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, but can be harvested from the middle of rape flowers to the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the middle stage of rape flower, the bees in the natural barrel reproduce vigorously, the eggs and spleens are continuous, the pollen is pouring in in a lot, and the honey is not much;

    Although you can cut honey but the yield is not high, you can start from the last bee to calculate, the highest yield of honey before and after 20 days, before cutting honey outside the box with your fingers from top to bottom a few times, the sound is dull is the honey layer, the light sound is the spleen layer, and the empty sound is no honey.

    When cutting honey, the bees will be repelled while cutting, and the bees outside the box will climb into the barrel to let the bees repair the hive spleen overnight, and the bees will develop the spleen from top to bottom after the bee bucket is turned upside down the next day, and at the same time dispose of the honey that has fallen on the ground.

    It depends on the region and climate, as well as the bee species, taking the Chinese native bee (bee species) in the western part of Hunan (region) as an example, twice a year, basically once in May and once in July, and the later ones are reserved for bees to spend the winter.

    In fact, there is another important indicator of harvesting honey--- look at the cap. The bee is a magical little thing that can judge whether the honey is ripe or not, and once it senses that some honey is ripe, it will seal it up, just like sealing a full warehouse. Once the capping reaches more than 70%, it is basically time to take the honey.

    Hello! Native bees (also known as wild bees) are social insects that raise their larvae by collecting nectar and pollen. The timing of honey harvesting depends mainly on the flowering period and climatic conditions.

    Generally speaking, native bees are more active in spring and summer, which is also the main period for them to cut honey. The exact time of honey harvesting varies depending on the geographical location and climate, but is usually between March in spring and August in summer. During this time, the flowers bloom abundantly and the nectar resources are abundant, making it easier for the bees to collect enough nectar.

    However, it is important to note that the activities and honey-cutting behavior of the earth bee can also be affected by climatic conditions. If the temperature is too low or too high, or the weather is unusually humid or dry, it may affect the activity of the soil bee and the availability of nectar resources. Therefore, when choosing the best time to harvest honey, it is necessary to judge it in combination with local climate conditions and flowering period information.

    In addition, native bees are wild insects, and their honey-cutting behavior is different from that of captive-bred bees. Native bees do not build hives, but build nests in the soil, so the method of collecting nectar is usually to observe the activities of the bees at the right time and collect them when the flowering period is more abundant. In summary, the best time to harvest honey is usually between March in spring and August in summer.

    1. The honey cutting time of soil bees is generally from September to October every year. The medicinal value of soil honey is a high-quality health care product for relieving heatstroke, cooling and health care in summer. It is the best health care and beauty product for the elderly, ladies and children.

    2. The earth bee, also known as the Chinese bee, is larger, about 2 cm in length, and the color is generally black. When the flowers are in full bloom, they collect nectar and store it in the hive for emergencies.

    3. Chinese bees in China, commonly known as earth bees. Soil honey is a honey made by soil bees collecting nectar from alpine forests and wild mountains. Honey is dark in color, unique in taste, sweet and strong, contains a variety of trace elements that can be directly absorbed by the human body, and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" describes its high value to human health.

    Its honey is golden in color, unique in taste, pure and unadulterated, rich in organic acids, proteins, vitamins, enzymes and bioactive substances and other nutrients, with moisturizing intestines, lungs, detoxification, beauty, enhancing human immunity and other effects.

    4. Usually what we call honey, that is, ordinary honey is produced from foreign bees (also known as domestic bees, bee species come from abroad). In fact, foreign honey is the honey collected by the Western bee species introduced from abroad in the early days, the most famous is the Italian bee, and it is also one of the most important varieties of domestic bee colonies. Due to the short honey production cycle, the honey concentration is very low, and the quality and nutrients are far inferior to that of Chinese honey.
