When will the bees be boxed in spring?

February to May.

Generally speaking, bees divide bees from February to May in spring, and the specific time will be affected by honey source conditions, climate conditions and the strength of bee colonies. In spring, there are plenty of honey sources and powder sources, and the temperature gradually begins to rise. The queen bee of the original colony, more than half of the worker bees and some drones will leave the original nest and nest in other places for group activities.

Bee boxing is to divide a bee colony into two parts and let them live in different beehives, which is an important way to expand the scale of bee farms. In order to achieve the goal of early boxing, the reproductive ability of queen bee in bee colony is particularly important.
