Chinese bee culture method

The breeding method of Chinese bees begins with site selection, hive placement, introduction of bees, feeding of bees, distribution of bees and so on.

1, site selection

There should be at least two main large-area nectar plants and a variety of auxiliary nectar plants with alternate flowering periods within 3 kilometers around the bee farm, and these nectar plants should be free from pesticides and pests.

2. Placement of hives

Beehives should be padded and placed 20 ~ 50 cm from the ground to prevent ants and other enemies; Can be scattered according to the terrain; The back of the hive is slightly higher than the front, and the door of the hive usually faces south.

3. Introduction of bee colony

Natural induction and artificial introduction can be used.

4. Bee breeding

Chinese bees generally do not need special artificial feeding in daily management, but in order to ensure the nutrition of bee colonies, improve the enthusiasm of honey collection and accelerate the reproduction of bees, bees should be fed at critical times. Mainly divided into supplementary feeding and reward feeding.

5. Bee colony.

Artificial grouping is an important method to increase the number of bees in beekeeping farms. Artificial grouping is carried out in natural bee-dividing period. Prepare a new hive in advance, open the grouped hives, drive the bees away from the spleen with smoke bombs, take out the nest spleen containing the queen bee and larva eggs, put them in the new hive and fix them, cover the hive and leave the hive door. Other bees will automatically chase the queen bee and fly back to the new hive.
