Propagation techniques of bees

1, farm land

Farms are usually in the mountains, where there are many flowers, trees and flowering plants. In this way, there is a rich food source, which can spend more honey and produce high honey, so that bees will not starve to death. Ask for a quiet place, otherwise the bees will easily run away in fright. It is best to have plants that bloom all year round, so that you can eat and store more food every season. Usually in mountainous areas with abundant water resources.

2. Honeycomb culture

Select the bees to be cultured and raise them in double boxes. The inside of the box should be divided into two parts. While keeping a swarm of bees, the queen bee should be open separately. There is room for honey in the middle, so that they can eat at the same time. When there is no food, you can feed them at the same time. The feeding amount should be completed in about two hours, and the finished flower powder cake should be fed. Feed mainly in winter, keep warm and avoid freezing to death.

3. Summer method

It is very hot in summer, so it is difficult for bees to go out for food. At the end of summer, there are not many flowers, only a few flowers and trees that bloom naturally. High temperature and lack of food are difficult times, so we should spend them safely. Leave more honey for bees in spring. In summer, move the hive to the shade and sprinkle water to cool down. You can open the window and cover it with a net.

4. Daily management

Bees will be divided when they grow to a certain number. It is necessary to prepare a new beehive, divide it manually, and take it away from the original place to avoid some bees flying back. This can expand the bee colony, and the newly separated bee colony should provide enough food. Pay attention to the situation of bees at ordinary times, keep good reproduction, and leave enough food for bees when taking honey.
