How many days in advance will Scout bees find their nests? Scout bees generally detect a few points

Scout bees refer to the worker bees looking for nectar sources and new nest sites, which are basically served by the elderly worker bees in the bee colony, for example, the scout bees will go out of the nest to find a new nest site before the bees are divided, and the bee colony can go to the new nest site to rebuild the nest after the bee is divided.

First, the reason for finding the address

Bees are social insects and have a strong nest fetish, but in some special cases, the bee colony will also leave the nest and find a new site to build a nest, for example, when the bee ** is born and naturally divides the bees, the old queen bee and some worker bees will find a new site to build a nest, but before leaving the nest, the bee colony will send a large number of scout bees to search for a new nest site, and the bee colony threatened by pests and diseases will also send scout bees to find a suitable new nest site.

2. Temporal discourse

For example, 1 3 days before natural bee separation, the scout bee will find several ideal nest sites, and the bee colony will gather near the original hive and reach a consensus on the nest site, and after the consensus is reached, the bee colony will disperse and fly straight to the new nest site, while the bee colony such as wasps may first escape the hive and then find a new nest site.

3. Investigate the nest site

When a colony needs to find a new nest site, it will send a large number of scout bees, if a scout bee finds a suitable nest site, it will return to the colony and tell other scout bees the direction and distance of the new nest site in the form of a bee dance, and eventually more scout bees will go to check whether the nest site meets the needs of the colony, if most of the scout bees are satisfied, the colony will soon go to the new nest site to re-wax the nest.

4. Precautions

1. Detection bees are generally served by elderly worker bees, so the color is generally slightly darker than ordinary worker bees, but sometimes young and middle-aged worker bees may also serve as reconnaissance work.

2. The hind feet of the scout bee are generally drooping when flying, and the buzzer is loud and the flight speed is slow when flying, and the scout bee will also show obvious search actions.

3. Scout bees do not necessarily bring a colony to settle down, because scout bees will find several ideal places, but in the end only one place can be selected as a new nest site by the colony.

Generally 1-3 days, then find the nest and get ready for the upcoming group activity.

1 day, 2 days, 3 days are possible, which has a lot to do with the reason why the honey peak leaves the nest. These peaks are very powerful.

Generally speaking, for scout bees, it is mainly to find nests at 1 to 3 days, and they are a large group of nesters.

Scout bees generally come out of the nest at 8 to 9 a.m. Scout bees are responsible for searching for nectar sources or new nest sites, for example, scout bees will find several suitable new nest sites before natural bee separation, and after natural bee separation, the colony will go to one of the new nest sites to re-nest, from the time of view, scout bees generally come out of the nest at 8 or 9 a.m., and the scout bees will return to the hive for the night before sunset in the afternoon.

Scout bees will exhibit obvious intent to detect. After finding a new nest site, the detection bee returns to the hive and tells the other detection bees through the bee dance, and then more detection bees will go to the new nest site to investigate, and the other detection bees coming to investigate may not necessarily be able to lure the colony.

Bees don't look for nests, bees build their own nests.

The preparations before bee separation include: building a drone grinding room, cultivating drones, building a king platform, laying eggs in the base of the queen bee, and cultivating the queen bee. After the sub-bee base appeared in the hive, the worker bees forced the queen to lay eggs in the Taiji family bridge, and began to reduce the feeding of the queen bee, so that the queen bee's abdomen contracted, and the queen bee gradually decreased the egg production.

Before and after the capping of the queen bee table, the worker bees stop providing royal jelly to the queen bee, and the queen bee's abdomen is further contracted to meet the needs of flying when the queen bee is divided. Worker bees reduce attendance and stop spleen-making, and many worker bees gather in the empty space in the nest, in the upper corner of the nest spleen. If the worker bees gather in large numbers in front of the hive gate, they are hanging"Drooping", the split bee will occur in the near future.
