Traditional techniques of Chinese bee breeding tips of Chinese bee breeding

1. In general, it is advisable to keep the two queen bees separately in the early stage of bee breeding: in bee breeding, each queen bee has her own bee colony, and members of these bee colonies will distinguish by taste, and there is great hostility between different bee colonies. Farmers can put two bees in a beehive at the beginning, and separate them with wooden boards in the middle. After a period of time, their hostility will be greatly reduced, and then the bees of the two kings will be at peace.

2. Improvement of beehives for the breeding of Chinese bees and two kings: When Chinese bees and two kings are bred, the beehives can be improved to some extent, which will achieve very good results. When making a beehive, you can open a small ditch with a width of 8 mm and a depth of about 3 mm in the middle of its two sides. This small ditch is the position where the partition is added. In addition, it is necessary to prepare two auxiliary covers, the size of which is subject to covering half of the hive. Such a sub-cover is beneficial to the discharge of water during the cultivation process.

3. Combination of bee colonies bred by Chinese Bee and King: When different bee colonies are cultured in the same hive, two bee colonies should not be put in at the same time, but one bee colony led by a queen bee should be put into another bee colony after adapting to the hive environment. Moreover, when the bees brought by the two queen bees are just getting along, they should not be fed in large quantities, but should be conditioned with a small amount of sugar water to stabilize the mood of the bees.
