What is the difference between large partitions and small partitions for keeping bees?

The big palms table is also called the palm that hits the middle and the palm that hits the king. From the beating of the king's palm, everyone can clearly see that the main purpose of the big clapper is to separate the queen bees, that is, the two queen bees can be separated, and even the worker bees cannot pass through the middle, that is, to divide a hive into two independent areas. It is just called the thunder fence and the big partition. The main function of the fence in the middle of the partition is to prevent the queen bee from passing through, but only let the bees pass through. Its main function is to separate the main box and the relay box from the beehive, so that the bees can produce in the main box and make in the relay box.

For small space plates, the main function is not to diffuse the temperature outward in large quantities, and to keep the temperature of the spleen and seeds stable, especially in spring. The spread is more important and obvious. Small separation plates are also indispensable in the hive, which is a USO different from the interval size. If the new queen cannot mate, we can release the old queen again, remove the large partition, and the bee colony will return to normal. This separation can also be considered as forming a small mating group, so the bees can get more laying queens.

Adapt to the needs of the development of the bee colony; when the bee colony has less than 3 honeycombs, the honeycombs can be placed on one side of the beehive, and a small partition can be added on the outside to press the bees, so as to keep warm or promote the health of the honeycombs; the average temperature of the day reaches 25°C; in addition, the small partition still retains the egg-laying performance. Once melted, the residual heat can be fully utilized, and even a signal of a production explosion can be sent out (the small colony is completely resting), so that the worker bees can not only avoid laying eggs, but also collect more honey to avoid the dilemma of no bees.

The best way to cool the hive is to move it to a cold and ventilated place. In addition, facilities can be created for solar hives. If the temperature of the hive is too high and cannot be dissipated, the bees will die or become sick. A climate with a large temperature difference between morning and evening is even more counterproductive. Indeed, if the inside of the hive is overheated, the bees will spread out of the nest and climb onto the small partitions, the hive cover and the walls of the hive to cool it with a fan. If there are small partitions, it is better to use a fan to cool it down. As long as the bee road is larger.

The large partition is placed between the main box and the super box, with a fence in the middle, so it is also called the queen fence or the large partition. The main purpose of the large clapper is to separate the queens, that is, the two queens can be separated, and even the worker bees cannot pass through the middle, that is, to divide a hive into two independent areas. The small partition is on both sides of a beehive, one piece on each side, generally the main box and the super box have it, which is slightly smaller than the partition. It mainly plays the role of not spreading the temperature outward in large quantities, and can keep the spleen and seeds at a stable temperature, especially in spring, the spread is more important and obvious.

Small partitions are also called partitions. They are made of thin wood boards with a thickness of 10 mm. They are basically the same shape and size as the nest frame. Each beehive is equipped with one. When in use, they are placed next to the outermost honeycomb in the beehive without cutting off the bee path. The large partition has the same appearance as the partition. Its width and height are the same as the inner length and height of the nest box respectively. The thickness is also 10 mm.

Both types of boards are designed to help bees produce honey. The large grid boards are for large bees, and the small grid boards are for small bees.

Large partition: a partition placed between the main hive and the super, with a fence in the middle, so it is also called a queen excluder or a large partition. The fence in the middle of the queen excluder is mainly to prevent the queen bee from passing through, allowing only honey bees to pass through. Its main function is to separate the main hive and the super, allowing bees to lay eggs in the main hive and make honey in the super.

Small partition: There is one on each side of a beehive. Generally, both the main hive and the super have it. It is slightly smaller than the partition. From the literal meaning, we can find that its main function is to keep warm. In fact, it also has another function, which is to separate the feeders in the bee colony.

Tips for beekeeping in four seasons, the best size of beekeeping boxes in the south

Spring: Spring arrives and the Yang Qi turns. Excretion of bees is the key. Careful inspection and observation are needed. Lack of honey and queens often occur. Summer: Beginning of summer is the main nectar source of Robinia pseudoacacia. The second crop of Robinia pseudoacacia bauhinia flowers makes it very easy to raise queens at this time. A good queen can last the whole year. Autumn: Mid-Autumn Festival in August lacks honey and pollen. The queen bee stops laying eggs and the colony declines. Replenish honey and pollen combs in time, and keep up with feeding medicine and disease prevention. Winter: Beginning of winter is cold at night. Adding straw to the bees is good for cold protection. Duck foot flowers bloom and there is sufficient nectar source. Make new combs to promote reproduction.

1. Tips for beekeeping in four seasons

1. Spring: The Yang Qi turns when the Spring Begins. Excretion of bees is the key. Carefully check and observe. Lack of honey and queens often appear. After checking the queen for a month, in March, when the sun is shining, release the queen to promote the production of the bee colony. Feed pollen closely. Keep the heat in the box well. The bee colony will quadruple at the end of the month. At this time, add seven or eight combs and set up the successor box during the Grain Rain solar term.

2. Summer: The main nectar source is the acacia tree, and the second crop of acacia tree and redbud flowers. It is very easy to breed a queen at this time, and a good queen can last for the whole year. The Grain in Ear solar term is about to enter the mountains, and the jujube trees and vitex are busy for two months. The large number of new queens will achieve high yields, which is the most critical for the annual harvest. There are fewer nectar sources during the Great Heat solar term, and the queen is imprisoned and has no offspring for 20 days. The purpose is to treat bee mites, otherwise they will definitely crawl away after autumn.

3. Autumn: In August, the bee colony is in decline due to lack of pollen and honey. The queen bee stops laying eggs. It is necessary to replenish honey and pollen combs in time and keep up with feeding medicine to prevent diseases. In September, the old bees die during the White Dew. The bee colony without daughters wants to escape. It is necessary to lock up the queen to prevent escape and replenish the daughters and pupae to ensure the stability of the bee colony. In October, the cold weather turns colder and the mountains are full of lotus flowers. It is necessary to seize the flowering period to rush to build combs to promote reproduction and rejuvenate the colony.

4. Winter: The nights are cold during the beginning of winter, so add straw to the beehive to prevent cold. When the duck-foot flowers bloom, there is enough nectar, so build new combs to promote reproduction. Place the bee colony in a sunny place. If the colony is strong, there is no need for external warmth. Enlarge the nest door and cover it with cloth. It is better to be cold than hot. Keep the beehives quiet during the winter and open the beehives less. Check the inside and outside of the beehives and take appropriate measures to rescue them. Remove the bees regularly to ensure safety.

2. The best size of beekeeping boxes in the south

1. The square lattice box board is about 2 cm thick, the center distance is about 3.4 cm, and there are three types of internal space dimensions: length × width is 20.5 cm × 20.5 cm, 24 cm × 24 cm or 27.5 cm × 27.5 cm, the height of each layer is 8-12 cm, and it is better to divide it into 5-6 layers; for round lattice boxes, the internal diameter is about 26-28 cm.

2. It is more important to manage bees in spring. Spring is the breeding season for bees. During this period, it is important to provide sufficient food for the bees and strengthen inspections. If any problems with the bees are found, they should be dealt with in a timely manner. In spring, bee management should pay attention to strengthening warmth and preventing the appearance of bee mites.

3. In spring, the more bees fly out, the healthier the bee colony. If there are few bees flying out of the beehive, you should open the hive and check the bees at noon when the weather conditions are relatively good and the temperature is above 8℃.

4. The bees raised in lattice boxes reproduce faster and produce honey of better quality. There is also less damage to the bee brood combs when the honey is extracted. This type of breeding container is more suitable for people who do not have much time for breeding.
