Will the colony of bees that have lost their king fly away? How many days did the bee lose its queen

The queen bee is the only female bee in the bee colony with normal reproductive ability, under normal circumstances, a bee colony has and only one queen bee, although both the bee colony and the beekeeper will deliberately protect the queen bee, but the bee colony accidentally loses the queen in beekeeping production is also a common thing, let's take a look at the bee colony that loses the queen will fly away!

1. The queen bee died unexpectedly during bee harvesting

Wild bee colonies in the harvest due to careless operation caused by the queen bee accidentally died or disappeared, in this case, the capture of the queen group is not timely treatment in most cases will fly away, at this time the best way to deal with the queen group in time to intervene in a queen bee to give birth, if the queen group accepts the new queen bee can be stabilized, and the worker bee spleen and the queen will not fly away after laying eggs.

Second, there are small larvae of appropriate age in the bee colony

Although the colony will have a short period of turbulence after losing the queen, such as the swarm is restless, the worker bees do not attend to collect, etc., but generally after 1 or 2 days, the colony will use the small larvae to "make the king" to breed a new queen, and the new queen bee in the queen will gradually return to normal after the new queen bee comes out and begins to lay eggs.

3. The colony does not have small larvae of appropriate age

In this case, the ovaries of some worker bees will develop due to the lack of inhibition of "queen pheromones", and then the worker bees lay eggs, but the worker bees can only lay unfertilized eggs, and these eggs can only develop into drones even if they can hatch, and eventually the entire colony will be wiped out because they cannot replenish the worker bees.

Fourth, timely intervention for the bee colony to the new king

The most appropriate way for a bee colony to lose its queen unexpectedly is to replenish a queen bee or mature queen for the bee colony in time, and when intervening in the queen bee, we must pay attention to avoid the situation of the worker bee surrounding the queen, and it is best to choose the queen of the bee colony for about 1 3 days, once the worker bee begins to lay eggs, it will be much more troublesome to introduce the queen, and it is much easier to intervene in the mature queen than to intervene in the queen bee.

Fifth, supplement the small larvae to make the king platform

If you want to save the colony, you can only supplement the small larvae of the worker bee at the appropriate age for the bee colony to "rush to make the king", and when there are conditions, it is best to supplement some caps for the bee colony, and the queen bee in the "emergency king" can return to normal after the queen bee is introduced and the drone is mated.

Summary: The bee colony generally does not fly away after losing its queen, and when there are small larvae of worker bees in the colony, they will "rush to build a king", and when there are no small larvae of worker bees, some worker bees will develop ovaries and lay eggs, but the egg laying of worker bees cannot save the colony, and eventually the entire bee colony will gradually die out because it cannot replenish the worker bees.

Generally speaking, in the process of bee colony breeding, if the queen bee flies away, the bee colony will also fly away, and the loss for farmers is very serious.

Normally, it will not fly away, it will fall into chaos, and at this time there must be a new queen bee.

It does not fly away, and generally the colony that has lost its queen bee will immediately launch a new queen out in a short period of time.

The queen bee is the core and most indispensable member of the bee colony, the bee colony not only needs the queen bee to lay fertilized eggs to replenish the new worker bees, but also needs the queen pheromone to maintain the order of the bee colony.

First, the bee colony loses its king

If there is no artificial intervention, the bee colony will have two completely different outcomes, one is that the bee colony will transform some of the small larvae of the worker bees into the king to cultivate a new king, and the other is that some of the worker bees will develop their ovaries and lay eggs and eventually die out when they can not make the king in a hurry.

Second, urgently build the king's platform

After the bee loses its queen, the small larvae of the worker bee can be transformed into a king platform to breed a new queen bee, but the premise is that there must be a small larvae of the worker bee of the right age in the bee colony and have a certain group potential, and the king can be feathered out of the house after 9 11 days (2 4 days in the larval stage and 8 days in the pupal stage), and the new queen bee can continue the colony after it is fully mature and mates with the drones.

3. Worker bees lay eggs

If there is no queen bee in the colony for a long time, some worker bees will develop their ovaries and lay eggs, but worker bees can only lay unfertilized eggs (egg cells) and have no substantial effect on the continuation of the colony.

4. Remedial Measures

1. Jiewang: The most effective way for bees to lose their queen is to intervene in a new king, and the order of the bee colony can quickly return to normal after the success of Jiewang, but we must pay attention to avoid the situation of worker bees surrounding the queen when introducing the king.

2. Jietai: After the bee loses its queen, it can intervene in a mature Wangtai, and the bee colony can quickly return to normal after the new queen bee emerges from the house, but the new queen bee must successfully mate with the drone before it can lay eggs normally.

3. Adjust the spleen: After the bee loses its queen, it can be adjusted into the egg worm spleen to urgently build the king platform, as long as the group and climate are suitable, the emergency king platform can basically be successful, but for the bee colony that is too weak, it is necessary to transfer some cover spleen in time.

It will not fly away, in which case a new queen may appear, and it will not fly away at will.

Bees generally do not fly away after losing their king, and there may be two situations, one is that the colony will transform some of the small larvae of the worker bees into kings to breed new kings, and in this case, they will go extinct.

If there is no artificial intervention, the bee colony will have two completely different outcomes, one is that the bee colony will transform some of the small larvae of the worker bees into the king to cultivate a new king, and the other is that some of the worker bees will develop their ovaries and lay eggs and eventually die out when they can not make the king in a hurry.
