CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to Keep Bees Correctly

1. How to raise bees correctly

More bees than combs, enough honey and pollen, less disturbance, shade at night (beehives are placed in a dark place at night)

2. How to raise honey

Ask the seller when you sell honey in Zuhai

3. How to cultivate honey at home

Go to the lake path (reachable by Romantic City) to find the animal scholar to accept the task. You need 5 honeys, which can be collected from the beehive in the manor (flowers must be planted in the manor). When the progress bar above is pink, you can collect them. After collecting all the honeys, you can turn in the task and get the beehive. When there is a beehive in the manor, you will see bees collecting honey in the manor. When they are suspended in the air, you can take the insect net to catch them. After catching them, the corresponding beehive will disappear, and there will be more domesticated bees in the backpack. Just put them in the beehive. But I still advise you not to raise bees. Domesticated honey adds 300 physical strength, wild honey adds 500 physical strength, and after a period of time, the bees in the beehive will disappear, so you have to catch bees every once in a while, which is very troublesome, and wild bees are easy to get. Compared with wild bees, the only difference is that domesticated bees will not be stung. It depends on your own preferences.

Feeding

Supplementary feeding: artificial feeding when nectar sources are scarce. The methods are as follows: ①Supplementary feeding with honey. Honey can be diluted with 20% warm water (crystallized honey needs to be boiled with a little water). The diluted honey can be fed to the bees by gavage or poured into a frame feeder. ②Supplementary feeding with syrup. Syrup is made by adding 50% white sugar to water, which is heated and fully dissolved and then cooled to lukewarm. It is best to add 0.1% citric acid to the syrup to facilitate digestion and absorption. Brown sugar should not be used at this time.

Reward feeding: artificial feeding during the bee colony breeding period and bee production period. Generally, a small amount of 60% nectar or 50% syrup is given every other day in early spring, and then once a day as consumption increases, starting from 40 days before the nectar flow period until there is a large amount of honey and pollen from the outside world. Each frame of bees can be rewarded with 50-100 grams of syrup each time.

Feeding pollen: The purpose is to supplement protein feed. In the late winter and early spring, the pollen saved in the previous autumn can be supplemented, and soybean powder can also be used instead. The feeding method is as follows:

(1) Liquid feeding: Add 10 times the amount of syrup to the pollen, boil it, wait for it to cool, and then put it in a feeding container for feeding.

(2) Cake feeding. Add an equal amount of honey or syrup to pollen or pollen substitute, mix thoroughly, and make into cakes. Wrap them with plastic paper, open at both ends, and place them on the frame beam for bees to feed. This method is often used during cold snaps.

Feeding water and salts: ① Water. Generally, each bee colony needs 200-300 ml of water per day. Put water in the feeder or put a wet towel on the gauze cover for the bees to collect water. ② Salts. Add 1% salt to the syrup.

Feeding sugar and powder to honeycomb is suitable for treating mites and preventing diseases
