How to make the queen bee more productive in summer?

Hello, I'm glad to answer for you, the queen bee in the bee colony begins to lay eggs, usually the bee colony can operate normally, develop and reproduce in the case of the king. After the new queen bee is born, it needs to grow and develop inside the nest box before starting to lay eggs. The amount of eggs laid by the queen bee depends on the swelling of the colony and the season.

It takes at least 21 days to grow from an egg to a mature worker bee and at least 16 days to a mature queen bee from an egg. The number of eggs laid by the queen bee in the bee colony is related to the size of the bee colony, generally the queen bee will start to lay eggs within 2-3 weeks after hatching, and the number of eggs will gradually increase, generally after 2-3 months of egg laying, the size of the bee colony will gradually expand, and the honey production will gradually increase. Therefore, it takes time for the bee to develop and lay eggs, and it generally takes about 2-3 months to achieve a more ideal egg production, but the specific time will be affected by various factors such as environment, climate, and nectar source.

The queen bee needs to be artificially cultivated, and the queen bee with strong physique and strong egg-laying ability can be produced, and high-quality drones can be used to select a strong and healthy feeding group to breed the king. Correct operation techniques such as insect transplantation and distribution of kings are important.

The specific process is as follows:

1.Breeding drones in advance The queen bee and the drone have different development periods, so in order to coincide the sexual maturity period of the drone and the queen, it is necessary to breed the seed drone in advance. The practice is to select bee colonies with excellent economic traits to breed species of drones, and in the spring when the colonies enter the period of rapid proliferation, add the nest spleen with more male bees to expand the hive, promote the queen to lay unfertilized eggs, and strengthen feeding at the same time.

2.Choosing a nursery colony The amount of milk the queen receives at the larval stage determines the quality of the queen bee. Therefore, it is particularly important to select a feeding herd.

One week before transplantation, colonies with good traits were selected in the apiary as nurseries. The day before transplantation, the nursery group was adjusted. It is required that there are more than 8 boxes of bees, and there are a large number of feeding bees in the nest, keep the cover card and a small amount of larval spleen, and draw out the empty card to make the bee number dense.

3.In a natural bee colony, the depth of the base of the middle queen bee is about 6-9mm when it first lays eggs. With the development of larvae in the base, the worker wasps gradually raised the platform wall, and the height of the capped natural king platform was 15-20mm.

According to the biological characteristics of the worker bees when building the royal platform, the artificial platform base should be 9mm high and 8-10mm in diameter.

4.Transplantation The larvae of bee colonies with excellent economic traits are moved into artificial platforms for growth. First transplant Worker bees feed queen bee larvae by gradually increasing milk production as the larvae grow.

According to this characteristic, the age of the first transplant can be appropriately larger. Such larvae are easy to pick and easy to be accepted by worker bees. When moving insects, the movement should be light and the larvae should not be bruised.

Perform a compound transplant 24 h after the first transplant. It is best to feed the bee colony before remigration, and stimulate the working bees to spit out more pulp, so as to facilitate the picking of insects. Then, the larvae that were no more than 24 hours old were searched from the population and migrated to Wangtai.

In order to ensure that the larvae have enough milk, it is more appropriate to move 20-25 larvae in a swarm of 8-frame bees. Quickly put the Nurseryer frame into the nursery group after moving.

When raising the king, it is advisable to choose a strong group with a tendency to divide bee fever or natural alternation as the king breeding group, so that the colony has a high acceptance rate of transplantation and queen bees. The queen of the middle bee should usually use a king group, and it is an old king group with more than 1 year, the group potential should be more than 8 boxes, and there must be a large number of 6 8 days of age-appropriate plasma bees in the group.

The organization of the Yuwang herd.

Nursery populations should usually be formed 1 d before transplantation. When organizing, the queen bee (sheared wings) is restricted to one side of the box to lay eggs and reproduce in the 2 3 box area on one side of the box, and the other queenless area is used as the queen breeding area. In the nursery area, put 2 mature capped spleens with pink honey and 2 larval spleens, with the larval spleen in the center.

When rearing the king, the rearing frame is inserted between the two larvae in the rearing area.

When the group potential of the Yuwang group is insufficient, the mature capped spleen should be supplemented 6 7 days in advance to enhance the group potential. The ratio of bee spleen in the nursery group should be kept at 1, and when there are too many nest spleens in the group, the egg spleen should be appropriately extracted to dense the colony and reduce the burden of the colony to nurse the larvae.

When using a queenless colony to breed a queen bee, the queen bee should be removed or placed on the bottom plate at the back of the box after being imprisoned in a queen cage when the queen colony is organized.

Management of the Yuwang herd.

Every 3 days, the royal platform in Yuwang District should be thoroughly inspected and destroyed once;

The hive should be adjusted once every 3 days, and the egg worm spleen in the breeding area should be transferred to the queen breeding area, and the empty spleen in the breeding area and the capped spleen in the room should be transferred to the breeding area for the queen bee to lay eggs.

From the day of organizing the breeding herd to the closure of the royal platform, the breeding herd should be rewarded and fed every night;

The bee paths on both sides of the nursery frame should be reduced to a single bee path (5 mm);

The queen can only feed the queen bee once, and cannot be carried out many times in a row. After cultivating the queen bee once, it should be lured into the royal platform in time to change the queen or release the imprisoned queen bee.

If the colony reaches a certain number, it will divide the bees yourself.

How can bees reproduce quickly.

1. Let the bees fly in an appropriate amount.

Every spring is a critical period for bee reproduction, and when bees experience winter, they will deposit Dali garbage in the intestines, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of bees. You can choose to put the beehive in the sun in a sunny day when the temperature is more than 10 degrees Celsius, so that the bee can go out to fly, and in the process of flying, the garbage in its body will be excreted.

2. The insulation of the honeycomb is very important.

The spring where the bee breeding period is located is a time when the weather and temperature are changeable, especially in early spring, the outside temperature is relatively low, and the temperature required for the growth of bee larvae cannot be reached at all, so farmers need to heat their hives. The easiest way to keep warm is to wrap the outside of the beehive with straw or cover it with a layer of plastic film. In addition, farmers should avoid opening and closing the hive door frequently in early spring, otherwise the heat in the hive will also be lost.

3. Breeding bees is conducive to the reproduction of bees.

Most of the queen bees in the spring colony are bred in the previous year, and after two seasons of egg laying, the peak egg-laying season of this queen is basically over. It is best for farmers to do the king breeding and bee division treatment as early as possible, so as to greatly increase the number of bee colonies and bees on the basis of bee reproduction.

If the colony reaches a certain number, it will divide the bees yourself. It is recommended to cultivate a few more queen bees and get to the throne.

Let the bees produce less. Male bees, in general, send the nest to make a spleen a little less, let their own spleen more than one. If it is in the bucket, there is no way, this is also the survival characteristics of the bee, is the need to divide the bee, if it is too much, wait until about 20 days, the cover turns red and there are eyes in the middle, and then cut off the cover, let the worker bees clean out.

Chinese honey bee, also known as Chinese bee, Chinese bee, soil bee, is a subspecies of Oriental honey bee, is China's unique bee master species, is a forest community dominated by miscellaneous trees and the main pollinator insect of traditional agriculture, has the use of sporadic nectar source plants, strong collection power, high utilization rate, long honey collection period and adaptability, strong resistance to mites and diseases, less consumption of feed and other incomparable advantages of Italian bees, very suitable for designated breeding in mountainous areas of China. The Chinese bee has a small body, a black cephalothorax, a yellow-black abdomen, and yellow-brown hairs all over the body. In 2003, Beijing established the Chinese Honey Bee Nature Reserve in Fangshan District.

In 2006, Chinese honey bee was included in the national livestock and poultry genetic resources protection breed of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Generally speaking, send the nest base to make a spleen a little less, let its own spleen to make one more, you use the nest base, if it is in the bucket there is no way, this is also the survival characteristics of the bee, is the need to divide the bee, if it is too much, just wait until about 20 days, the cover turns red and there are eyes in the middle, and then cut off the cover, let the worker bees clean out.
