When do bees start to divide bees?

Most bees will naturally divide bees from March to April every spring, usually starting at around 10 am and ending at 2 pm on sunny days.

Most bees are grouped in spring because there are abundant honey sources everywhere, so even if bees are grouped, they will not lack food. Spring is also very suitable for the survival and reproduction of bees, and it is easy to develop a strong bee colony. Natural bee sorting is a method of bee breeding. Generally speaking, bees naturally divide bees once or twice a year, but it is not absolute.

According to the quality of bees and queen bees, different bees are divided. Generally speaking, bees with weak bees only divide bees once a year. If they are bees with strong bees, they will divide bees twice or even three times a year.

Morphological characteristics of bees

The morphological characteristics of bees are 8-20 mm long, brown or dark brown, and thick hair. At the same time, the bee's head is almost as wide as its chest, its tentacles are knee-shaped, its compound eyes are oval, and its mouth is chewing and sucking. Moreover, bees have two pairs of membranous wings, the front wing is larger and the back wing is smaller. Bee's abdomen is almost oval, with less body hair and a pincer needle on its back.

Bees are composed of three kinds of bees: queen bee, worker bee and drone, among which worker bee has the largest number, forming a strict management system in the bee colony, and its rights can even be said to exceed that of queen bee, belonging to a typical social creature.
