What is the preparation and feeding method of bee feed?

The best feed for bees is honey and pollen, and the most commonly used is syrup, but no matter which feed you choose, you must ensure that the feed is hygienic and do not cause abnormalities in the colony due to feed problems.

When feeding honey, you can directly supplement the honey spleen to the bee colony or dilute the honey with water and feed, when feeding pollen, you can mix the pollen and honey in a certain proportion and then fill the spleen and supplement it to the bee colony, when feeding sugar, you can make syrup with sugar and boiling water in a ratio of 1:1 and feed it, pay attention to the hygiene of the feed no matter what feed is fed, do not feed the bees with spoiled feed, and you can also add some vitamin tablets, salt or bee medicine when preparing the feed.

You can replenish the honeycomb, you can also prepare some water, and you can also prepare some syrup, so that the bees can grow better.

There are many bee feed formulas, and some of the bee feed formulas are listed below:

1. Use four parts of soybean flour, four parts of bee pollen, two parts of sugar, two pieces of yeast tablets per kilogram, and two pieces of oxytetracycline tablets per kilogram, stir evenly, and stir evenly as bee feed.

2. Use syrup to make substitute feed, which can be obtained after boiling hydrolysis by sucrose with acid or decomposition with enzyme water, and boiling for 30 minutes with one kilogram of sucrose plus two parts of the volume of fiber and 0.5 grams of lactic acid can be used as bee feed.

3. Use sugar cake to make substitute feed, and use sucrase enzyme to make sugar cake as bee feed.

Honey bee is completely dependent on flowers for the living insects (including nectar and pollen), from the habits of bees to see the best feed is honey and pollen, but with honey and orange pollen to feed bees in the cost is relatively high, so in beekeeping production more use of sugar instead of honey to feed the bee colony, in fact, bees eat sugar and people eat the same no problem, as long as reasonable feeding to the bee colony will not bring any negative impact, but in the nectar period is still fed a large amount of white sugar its nature is completely different.

Analysis: Feeding.

1. Subsidized feeding: that is, artificial feeding when the nectar source is scarce. There are ways to do this:

Supplement with honey. It can be diluted with honey and warm water (crystalline honey, need to be boiled and dissolved in water). The diluted honey can be fed to bees by filling the spleen or in an inverted frame feeder.

Supplemental syrup. The syrup is 50% white sugar with water, which is fully dissolved after heating and cooled to lukewarm, and it is best to add citric acid to the syrup to facilitate digestion and absorption, and brown sugar should not be used at this time.

2. Reward feeding: artificial feeding during the breeding period of the bee colony and the bee production period. Generally, a small amount of 60%* or 50% syrup is given, once every other day in early spring, and then the consumption increases, but once a day, from 40 days before the honey flow period, until there is a large amount of powder from the outside world.

Each box of bees is rewarded with 50 100 grams of syrup each time.

3. Feeding pollen: the purpose is to supplement protein feed. In late wintering and early spring, soybean flour can also be used to replenish the pollen preserved in the previous autumn. The feeding method is as follows:

1) Liquid feeding. Add 10 times of syrup to the pollen, boil, and let it cool before feeding it in a feeder.

2) Cake feeding. Add the same amount of honey or syrup to the pollen or substitute pollen, stir it well, make it into a cake shape, wrap it with plastic paper, open it at both ends, and place it on the frame beam for bees to eat. This method is often used in cold snaps.

4.Feed water and salt: water. In general, each colony needs to collect 200 300 millilitres of water per day. Fill the water in the feeder or put a wet towel on the gauze cover for self-collection. Salts. Add l of table salt to the syrup.

Choose from autumn honey. Explain here. Because the article a few days ago did not have the famous question of the bee and the bee, it caused some controversy.

hereIt shows that this method is the method of the current raw frame breeding technology, and if our bee breeding technology can also use this method, the quality of the bee after wintering will be better. Feeding bees with sugar water honey before wintering to increase bee mulching is a common method of fresh frame farming, but this process also increases the work burden of bees, and if it is not well controlled, it is too late to cover the honeycomb spleen.

Even if such bees are not of high quality, they are prone to spoilage in winter, causing bee diarrhea, so how to choose such high-quality honey? Feed preparation for bees is also an important part, but depending on the type of feed, the method of mixing is also different. For example, pollen can be artificially put into the nest spleen to supplement the bee colony, or honey can be directly given or honey spleen can be added to the bee colony, the important thing here is white sugar, when giving white sugar, white sugar and hot water press 1:

The ratio of 1 can be adjusted, and vitamins and other vitamins can be added appropriately after the syrup is at room temperature.

In order to become a better bee, you can add the prepared syrup to the bee nutrition comprehensive bee feed treasure use, bee feed treasure can be mixed with sugar water, pollen, soybean meal, pollen, etc., the wintering bee in the temperature below -2 will also increase the amount of activity, mainly to increase the amount of food, continue to drain the stomach, through the activity to produce heat energy to prevent cold. In this way, while consuming a large amount of feed, the worker bees are aging and shortening their lifespan, and the method of cold protection is that the small bee colony basks in the sun during the day, and tries to close the nest door as small as possible at night, filling the gaps and wind tunnels of the box.

The traditional method is to feed the bees with concentrated syrup within 3 5 days after the end of autumn breeding, another new method is to use the old bees to prepare overwintering feed, after the beginning of autumn breeding with reward feed feeding, store part of the large honey spleen, immediately after the end of autumn breeding every day to feed the empty house after feathering, the work of feeding overwintering feed after the end of feathering is also completed, in addition, the temperature is relatively high during the autumn breeding period, easy to brew, on the other hand, the old bees are too tired and die prematurely in the process of storing and brewing mature feed for the wintering bee colony, It can save the overwintering feed of the bee colony and protect the overwintering bees of appropriate age.

It is necessary to understand the composition of the feed, pay attention to the choice of feed, and analyze the nutrients in the feed, so as to ensure the selection of overwintering feed. You can mix it with other ingredients and feed it, or you can learn about the feeding method, pay attention to the feeding requirements, but also pay attention to the selection of seasonal feed, and understand the feeding situation.

Try to choose nutritious feed with fluoride. Feed the bees more nectar. You can usually grow some flowers at home. You can make pollen cakes, rice cakes,
