How to raise bees harvested in autumn to avoid starvation

For the bees harvested after the autumn, in fact, we mainly consider the wintering of the bees, so from the perspective of wintering, we need to consider the honey and water source that the bees need during the wintering time, the insulation and shading work during the wintering, and the cultivation of a large number of age-appropriate wintering bees.

First: Sufficient reserves of wintering grain.

This can be done in order to stock up on the length of our local winter and the size of our colony, so that we can provide enough honey during the bee wintering period to last the next spring.

Second: provide adequate water sources.

In winter, the weather is relatively cold, we use the way of unpacking and feeding, so we can use a long-term nest feeding or drainage of the nest door feeding method, and at the same time add a small amount of salt to the water to improve the resistance of bees, such as the use of shallow discs with absorbent sponges in the beehive to feed the bees, the use of cola bottled water at the door of the hive with cotton thread drainage and feeding water, etc., can be used in the winter without opening the box to feed water, and at the same time can solve the problem of bee feeding. We can adopt it during the overwintering.

Third: Strengthen heat preservation and shading.

When the bees are wintering, due to the cold climate outside, we need to carry out better heat preservation to keep more bees than spleen, but we can not overheat the heat to avoid the phenomenon of bees flying in the air, and at the same time keep the darkness in the beehive, cover the nest door, do not let the light and wind enter the beehive, let the bees winter quietly, until the spring of the next year.

The human body is not a simple geometry like a ship's hull or a tire, and its volume (volume) and its specific gravity can be directly calculated. The human body is a very complex form.

I do this, first of all, every night with 1:1 sugar water reward feeding (the amount can not be too much), to prompt the bees to hurry up to make a spleen (because there is no spleen in the nest for the bees to store food in the **), and then before the winter when the last batch of piglets are out of the nest room began to supplement the feeding of sugar water (the ratio of sugar water is 2:1, at this time the amount should be large, to feed enough at one time, let the bees brew, and so that the bees are finished, the sugar water will be brewed and covered, then it should be cold bees to fly, and do a good job of keeping warm in the late wintering.

The excess spleen should be extracted and fed with sugar and water.

I am powder, sugar fed together, pay attention to heat preservation in winter, just spend the winter safely.

If you don't want to starve to death, feed it, pure honey is the best.

I have several caps here.

I just got the center, and there's no king, and that friend has it.

Depending on how many bees there are, pump an appropriate amount of pink honey larval spleen.

Summary. Outdoor wintering (this method is suitable for the south) beacon fire if wintering outdoors, you can use straw to package beehives, packaging methods are two: one is a single group packaging method, that is, first use a straw curtain to enclose the beehive, the front wall, the back wall, and the box cover, and then use a straw curtain to enclose the bottom of the box, the bottom of the cover, and the walls on both sides, and then leave the nest door, and then add plastic film to wrap it to prevent rain.

The second is the combined bandaging method, now the ground is paved with bricks or stones, and then a row of empty beehives is placed, and a layer of ten centimeters of straw is spread on the box cover, and then the beehives are grouped in groups of 3-5, a group is best not more than seven groups, placed on the straw, and then filled with straw in the gap between the boxes, and at the same time used superfibers on the front and back and left and right and above, and finally wrapped with plastic film to prevent rain.

Outdoor wintering (this method is suitable for the south) beacon fire if outdoor wintering, you can use straw to pack beehives, packaging methods are two: one is a single group of bags in the wanton method, that is, first use a straw curtain to enclose the beehive, the front wall, the back wall, the box cover, and then use a straw curtain to enclose the bottom of the box, the bottom of the cover, and the walls on both sides, and then leave the nest door, and then add plastic film to wrap it to prevent rain. The second is to wrap the line of closure method, now the ground is paved with bricks or stones, and then a row of empty beehives is placed, and then a layer of ten centimeters thick straw is laid on the box cover, and then the beehives are grouped in groups of 3-5, a group is best not to exceed seven groups, placed on the file and cracked straw, and then filled with straw in the gap between the boxes, and at the same time the front and back and left and right and the top are covered with microfibers, and finally wrapped with plastic film to prevent rain.

Wintering method in the cellar (this method is suitable for the north) when the weather turns cool, that is, before the beginning of winter, to dig the bee kiln well, in the early stare of digging oil, to choose the terrain is high, the water level is low, the soil should be sunny and leeward place, the earth can be sealed in the wind stone can enter the kiln, and then enter the kiln when going out of the big cover, the nest door is blocked, lifted into the cellar to call the trace, put on the bee rack, in the process of management when we must pay attention to heat preservation, moisture-proof, and to be quiet, in the spot check of the bee colony and merge, do not disturb close to the bee colony, At the beginning and end of wintering, the cellar temperature varies greatly, so it is necessary to check the cellar temperature and other conditions frequently to avoid bee accidents.

No, bees eat honey in winter.

Bees overwinter, do not dismantle the spheres and crawl out to feed, but pass food to each other. This keeps the temperature inside the sphere constant or variable for safe wintering.

Cold weather, low temperatures in the hive, are not good for bees, because bees are ectotherms, and their body temperature changes with the temperature of their surroundings. When the temperature in the nest is as low as 13, they are close to each other in the hive and form spherical clusters together, the lower the temperature, the tighter the clumps, so that the surface area of the bee group is reduced, the density increases, and the temperature is prevented from cooling too much.

They also generate heat by eating more honey and intensifying exercise to raise the temperature inside the hive. When the weather is cold, the surface temperature of the bee ball is lower than that of the center of the ball, and the bees on the surface of the ball drill into the center of the ball, and the bees in the center of the ball move outward, so they take care of each other and constantly exchange positions repeatedly to survive the cold winter.

This is not actually starved to death, but smothered by bees. 's attack is powerful, but she's brittle. So it's easy to suffocate to death.

Because there are few flowers in winter and the weather is cold, that is, the bees go out with large energy consumption and low income from division, so the bees mainly stay in the nest, reduce food consumption, and increase the temperature in the nest, relying on food reserves to survive the winter, but there are often a large number of bees who die due to lack of food.

Most won't. Food has been stored before wintering.

Of course I'll starve to death! You're getting the bee some sugar for him to eat.

Go back to the nest and sleep, or you'll die of cold.
