How do amateur beekeepers divide bees?

Method of separating bees: move the original beehive 30-40 cm away and put the empty beehive 30-40 cm away. Put half the bees, the nest spleen and the queen bee in the hive into the empty hive, and tidy up two hives. After about half a day, 1 spawning king was lured to the group without king. When the flying bees return to their nests, they fly into the two boxes respectively. If there are fewer bees flying in a box, you can move it closer to the original site. The disadvantage of equal bee distribution is that the strong colony of 1 suddenly becomes two weak colonies, which need more than 1 month to put into production. It is not suitable to lure new bees into the queen bee platform, because it takes more than 10 days for the new queen bee to lay eggs, which makes the feeding ability of the new bees not fully utilized and affects the development of the bees. If the new queen bee is lost in the wedding flight, the loss will be even greater. \x0d\ Note: \x0d\ 1. Artificial bee distribution, also known as artificial bee colony distribution, is a basic method to increase the number of bees and expand production. It is a new bee colony composed of artificially cultivated spawning queen bees, mature queen bees or backup queen bees, and some spleen bees and honey. Artificial bee sorting can breed new bees at the most appropriate time as planned. When individual bees have the craze of bee sorting, artificial bee sorting can be used in time, which can stop the natural bee sorting and avoid the trouble of collecting and the loss of bees flying away. \x0d\ 2。 Regardless of the equipment conditions of the bee farm at that time and the local honey source situation, it is inevitable that the whole bee colony will become weak and have no production capacity, which should be avoided.
