Winter is coming. When did you start to imprison the queen bee, and when did you release the queen bee and start breeding?

Beginning of autumn imprisoned the queen bee before the heavy snow solar terms, and generally released the queen bee during the heavy snow solar terms.

First of all, the queen bee:

Also known as "queen bee" and "queen bee", it is a female bee with fully developed reproductive organs, which is developed from fertilized eggs.

Usually, each colony has only 1 bee.

The body is longer than worker bees 1/3, the abdomen is longer, there are thorns at the end, there are no wax glands under the abdomen, and the wings only cover half of the abdomen.

The feet are not as thick as worker bees, and there is no pollen basket on the hind feet, which has the effect of attracting bees.

The life span of a queen bee is 3-5 years.

Second, the way of reproduction:

Queen bees mate in flight, and only mate 1 time or several times at a certain time in their lives.

After mating, sperm are stored in seminal vesicles for fertilization by egg cells throughout their lives.

Spawning begins 2-3 days after mating. Queen bees that have laid eggs, except those naturally distributed, generally do not fly away from the hive.
