How to breed bees

1, choose the beehive

One of the basic conditions of bee breeding is to choose the suitable beehive, you should choose the box with solid material and light texture, because the beehive is usually placed in the open air, and the bees spend their basic life in the open air, so you need to provide a good environment.

2, transfer the swarm

First of all, prepare the live-frame beehives in advance, and transfer the purchased swarms or wild-trapped bees to the beehives, which are usually put into the hive spleens together, so that the bees can quickly adapt to the new environment and resume their normal activities.

3, subsidized feeding

During the honey harvesting period of the bees, subsidized feeding is carried out, and artificial feeding, such as pollen, sugar water, honey, etc., is usually started in the evening, and the bees harvesting honey in winter is relatively less, and the number of feeding needs to be increased, and the bees can be fed with diluted sugar water in the morning and evening.

4, planting plants

In the process of breeding bees, you can plant a lot of flowers and plants around the place, such as peony, peony, rape flowers, etc., to provide sufficient honey, so as to avoid the bees scurrying to a distant location, reducing the economic benefits.
