What beehives are best for bees in China?

Chinese bee is a unique bee species in China. Our ancestors used tree holes, baskets, wooden barrels and other equipment to raise Chinese bees long ago. However, with the spread of western bees, their hives and feeding techniques to China, a hive suitable for China bees was developed on the basis of live frame feeding. Let's see what beehives are best for China bees.

1. What beehive is best for China bees?

It is best to raise Chinese bees in standard boxes. The standard hive of Chinese bees is very suitable for the habits of Chinese bees, and consists of a bottom box, a relay box, a nest frame, a box cover, a gauze auxiliary cover, a wood auxiliary cover, a partition, a door panel and a nest door panel. In early spring, the standard beehives of Chinese bees can be kept in two groups in the same box, so as to accelerate the reproduction of bees and maintain a strong colony. In the honey collecting period, the single king can concentrate on collecting honey, and use the habit of bees to store honey upwards to produce high-quality separated honey and nests with shallow relay boxes.

2. What are the advantages of the standard container of Chinese bees?

1. Propagation speed: In spring, the propagation speed of two groups of bees raised in the same box in standard box is fast, but in the middle of spring, due to the limitation of space in the box, the propagation speed will slow down. Moreover, due to the craze in the early stage of bee matching, it is impossible to maintain large groups, and the development of bee colonies is not as fast as that of twelve boxes of square beehives.

2. Honey quality: the standard box of Chinese bee adopts shallow relay box to collect honey, and its honey quality is better than that of 12 box square box. At the same time, pure honey and nest honey can be produced by using the habit of bees storing honey upwards, which is of great significance to realize the modernization and mechanization of bee breeding.

Third, the design parameters of Chinese bee standard box

1. Nest box: inner circumference 440mm, width 370mm, height 270mm and thickness 20mm.

2. Nest frame: the periphery is 420 mm long, the height is 250 mm, the upper beam is 25 mm wide, the thickness is 20 mm, the length is 456 mm, the frame ear is 28 mm long, the side bar is 240 mm wide, the thickness is 10 mm, and the lower beam is 400 mm long, the width is 15 mm, and the thickness is/.

3. Shallow suitcase: the inner circumference 135mm high, 370mm wide, 440mm long and 20mm thick.

4. Nest frame of shallow relay box: the periphery is 420mm long, the height is 125mm, the upper beam is 15mm thick, the length is 456mm, and the width is 25mm.

5. Auxiliary cover: there are two kinds of plate cover and iron mesh cover, which are the same size as the box.

6. Box cover: the inner circumference is 490mm, the width is 420mm, the height is 85mm, and the plate thickness is15mm. ..
