How do bees divide bees artificially in China?

You can divide the bees equally, that is, move half of the nests and Chinese bees to another new hive.

However, the method of uneven distribution of bees should be adopted for honeycombs with excessive bee heat. The specific method is to move the heat and spleen in the hive to a new hive, and cut off all the queen platforms in the old hive for artificial reproduction.

After the separation of Chinese bees, farmers will observe their life dynamics, especially in the first five or six days, pay attention to the supplement of feed in the bee colony, increase some pollen feeding in time, and observe whether the newly emerged queen bee lays eggs and the quality of eggs. Once unqualified queen bees are found, they should be replaced as soon as possible.

Precautions:

1, Chinese bee breeding does not need to be carried out every year. The biggest purpose of Daxin queen bee is to make the colony stronger, because the new queen bee has strong vitality and high spawning rate. However, there are some excellent varieties of queen bee in China, which will not weaken in the second year, and the newly cultivated queen bee can't surpass it. This requires everyone to pay attention to whether bees need to change kings when they are beekeepers.

2. The location of the bee farm is a very noteworthy place for Chinese bees to breed kings. Beehives can't exist near big mountain ponds and reservoirs, but there should be a place sheltered from the wind and sunny.

3. Number of natural enemies of bees in China near the bee farm. If there are too many natural enemies of bees such as swallows and wasps, they will also lose their kings, causing great losses to their bees.

3. It is also very important for China bees to breed better varieties when they breed kings. If it is a newly established bee farm, it is necessary to rectify the bee colony first, and then artificially breed the king. Because most of the newly established bees in the bee farm come from different places, there is no spirit of unity, it is difficult to cultivate a strong bee colony without changing the spleen, and there is often a phenomenon of running away with illness.
