How to raise a king among a group of bees with kings?

With a special tool called the king partition, one or two bee frames are separated from other frames by tools, and other worker bees will build a king platform and raise a king.

Excellent queen bee is a strong colony of bees in live frame culture, which ensures high yield and high quality, and is also one of the key technologies to divide bees and expand the scale of bee farms. The technical points of cultivating excellent queen bees are as follows:

1, the time and conditions for raising a king

The breeding time of the excellent queen bee of Chinese bee should choose the natural season of local bee distribution. The cultivation of excellent Chinese bee queen in Yunnan should be carried out in spring (from mid-March to early June) and autumn (from late August to late June 10). At the same time, the following conditions shall be met:

(1) Rich sources of honey powder

There should be 2-3 main honey sources and a large number of sporadic honey powder sources in about 40 days.

(2) A warm and stable climate

During the development and mating of queen bees and drones, it is better to keep the temperature above 20℃.

(3) School-age healthy drones

When the drone leaves the house, you can start to cultivate the queen bee.

(4) Strong groups

The standard container of Chinese bee is 6- 10. There are drones in the nest, and worker bees have just built a queen bee.

(5) Bee colony without pests and diseases.

2. Population selection

(1) seed population

① Strong honey collection and high yield. Choose bees whose honey yield is obviously higher than the average yield in the field.

② The bees have weak division of labor and strong colony potential. Choose a bee colony that doesn't like to divide bees and can maintain a strong bee colony all the year round.

③ Bee colony with strong resistance to pests and diseases.

(4) Mild bees. After years of observation, it is not easy to sting people, and the bee colony protects the spleen during inspection.

⑤ Bee colony with strong nest cleaning ability.

(2) Parent species group

The selection criteria of seed parent groups are the same as those of seed parent groups, and the more groups, the better. For bees with strong bee-sorting, easy to sting, weak colony potential and low honey production, it is beneficial for excellent drones to mate with the queen bee by cutting off the drone pupae in the nest.

3. Organization and management of breeding king group

1 day organizes the queen bee to breed, and the queen bee is confined to one side of the box with a frame partition (or punched with a big partition). 1-2 nest spleen is reserved for the queen bee to spawn and breed, and two mature cover spleens containing pink honey and two larval spleens are placed on the other side, with the larval spleen in the middle as the breeding area. After the feeding group is organized, 200-300ml sugar water (sugar water ratio: 1: 1) will be awarded every day, and continuous feeding will be conducted for 10d.

The next day, the beeswax platform base is glued to the platform base strip of the Wang Yang frame at the interval of 1cm, and each platform base is padded with 1 small piece of paper or wood to avoid damaging the Wang Tai when it is cut to maturity. 10- 15 abutments are glued on each abutment strip, and each breeding king frame is embedded with 3 sections of abutment strips.

The number of pedestals on the three-stage pedestal should be gradually reduced from top to bottom, showing the original nest and spleen state of Chinese bee (semi-oval). A breeding king rack with a base is inserted between the spleens of two larvae of the breeding king colony, so that bees can clean and trim the base. Chinese bees generally accept 8-25 queens per colony, and the number of queens is determined according to the scheme of needing queens.

On the third day, take out the clean king rack on the platform, find out the spleen of the oomph from the breeding mother group, and transfer the larvae (eggs just fell and hatched in an arc state) of 18-24 hours into the platform with a worm transfer needle, and keep the worm transfer temperature at 25-30℃ and the relative humidity at 80%-90%.

Move insects quickly, choose insects accurately, lift the spleen and hold the frame steadily. After the worm moves, keep the mouth of Wang Pingtai on the king's breeding rack facing down and gently insert it between the spleens of two larvae in the king's breeding group for feeding.

On the fourth day (24 hours after the insects migrate), put forward the breeding king rack, brush off the attached bees (don't shake), gently stir the mouth of the king platform, discard the tweezers of the larvae in the king platform, and keep the royal jelly in the king platform as it is, so as to quickly and accurately remove the 18-24-hour-old larvae from the breeding mother group. After the worm moves, keep the mouth of the king box facing down, and gently and firmly place the king box between the spleens of the two larvae that Wang Ji has fallen.

On 1 1 day (the 7th day after insect transfer), the queen bee platform on the nest spleen in the breeding king area was thoroughly inspected and destroyed. Count the number of wangtai and destroy the undeveloped wangtai. Keeping the old queen bee in a cage to prevent the queen bee from splitting is not conducive to the heat preservation of the queen bee platform.

4. The queen bee seduces and mates.

On 14, it is planned to replace the queen bee colony, seal the old queen bee with a king cage, and put 5- 10 bees into the colony without queen bee colony. /kloc-cut the mature platform on 0/5 (the platform should be cut lightly to avoid pressing the front end of the platform and shaking it forcibly), and choose a honey nest and spleen from Dawang group.

Gently press out the 1 pit at the junction of honey powder and larval spleen with your index finger, gently press the platform base at the pit, keep the platform vertically downward, and insert the nest spleen back to its original position. Put it on the queen's platform and check it the next day. If bees destroy the queen's platform or the queen is inferior in the new room, kill the inferior queen bee and put the imprisoned old queen bee back.

There is a place above the nest door where the queen bees are marked with colored paper so that the queen bees can go out to mate. In normal climate, the queen bee began to lay eggs 10- 15d after mating successfully. If no eggs are laid after 15d, the new queen bee will be eliminated and put back to the old queen bee.

Extended data

The king has a plan. 1 culture box 1 culture 20 ~ 30 queen's platforms. You should plan the number of breeding boxes you need according to the scale of the bee farm, and each box can only hold 1 breeding box. The method of raising a king by a fixed insect is the same as that by a moving insect. It is best to combine the breeding king group with the feeding group. The breeding king group has been selected for a long time.

The standard of breeding queen bees: it depends on the region, such as 6 spleen (meaning standard), no medical history all the year round, high yield, docile, and obviously fast reproduction. 1 There should be more than two kinds of kings in the bee farm.
