CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to avoid ants and cockroaches in beehives?

1. How to avoid ants and cockroaches in beehives?

‍‍It is relatively simple to prevent ants from running into the beehive. First, we need a beehive stand with four legs (you can manually make one with square strips), then put a bowl of water (disposable bowls are fine) under each of the four legs, and then put the beehive on the stand to prevent ants from running into the beehive. How to prevent cockroaches: First of all, we must know that cockroaches run into the beehive to find food and a place to live. After I knew these two points, I first cut off the food for the cockroaches. We have to clean up the wax residue at the bottom of the beehive, which is not conducive to the reproduction of nest insects. Only by cleaning the bottom of the beehive frequently will it be difficult for cockroaches to come in to find food. After we have solved the problem of cleaning the bottom of the beehive, the next step is to ensure the integrity of the beehive. We must fill the broken and gapped places of the beehive (you can use yellow mud or cement slurry). If there are no gaps in the beehive, it will not be easy for cockroaches to run into the beehive. ‍‍

‍‍Raise the beehive a little higher, and spread a layer of plant ash or lime powder outside the bottom of the beehive to prevent ants and cockroaches from entering. You can also sprinkle a circle of insecticide powder, which many insects are afraid of. If you find traces of ants and the nests of ants and cockroaches, use insecticide to block the hole, or scald it with boiling water or pour diesel to destroy the insect hole, and it will no longer harm the bee colony. It is not easy for cockroaches to find their nests. Cockroaches that enter the beehive can be killed with medicine. I heard that there is a kind of medicine-cockroach glue bait, which is specially used to deal with cockroaches in the beehive. Sprinkle the pills to kill only cockroaches without hurting the bees. One use of the medicine can last for one or two months. But I have never used this medicine, and I don’t know where to buy it. There are many insects in the beehive, which is caused by the weak bee colony. Pay attention to the proportion of the bees and spleens, and raise a strong bee colony, so there will be no trouble with insect pests. ‍‍

‍‍To prevent ants from beehives, beekeepers usually put up beehives on a stand, which can prevent 90% of ants. But never use Baichongling, which will poison the bees. Also, don't use it on empty beehives. The effect is long-lasting. Once I used it to prevent termites on an empty beehive. Half a year later, I used it to raise bees. All the bees died overnight, not a single one was left. The best solution is to find the ant nest and then use the medicine. Cockroaches are annoying. Honeybees can't do anything about them. They live in their homes like their own. They like to steal honey and pollen the most. I have also seen them steal bee eggs and poop everywhere in the beehive. At this time, manual treatment is required. I usually change the box, otherwise it will be difficult for you to catch it. This way it can be dealt with quickly. The best way to prevent cockroaches is to set up defenses at the nest door. Close the nest door a little, or block it with a fence, or use a steel needle to block the nest door. ‍‍

Since bees and cockroaches are both insects, if we use medicine, the medicine that can kill cockroaches can also kill bees, so we cannot use medicine to remove them. Generally, we can put garlic paste at the bottom of the beehive to drive away a small number of cockroaches. If the cockroaches in the beehive have reproduced in large numbers, then we need to remove them by changing the beehive. When changing the beehive, the previous beehive is subjected to high temperature to kill cockroach eggs, and then washed and kept for later use.

How to avoid ants and cockroaches in beehives? There are two measures that beekeepers usually take. One is to raise the bottom of the box, and the other is to use motor oil or butter around the box. Generally, the second method is used by more people. The first method is to use garlic paste, which can be placed on the bottom of the box to avoid cockroaches. The beehive can be placed closer to the road, where there are many pedestrians and vehicles passing by, but it cannot be too close to the road. The first method can prevent cockroaches from appearing by pedestrians and vehicles, and the second method makes it much easier to sell honey.

2. How to deal with ants in the beehive? Will the queen bee run out if there are ants in the beehive?

1. Replace beehives: Wash the beehives, dry them and reuse them. 2. Spray drugs: Spray drugs that can kill ants. When ants smell the smell of drugs, they will stay away from the beehives, but be careful not to use too much. 3. Spread lime: Spread lime around the beehives to block the ants' routes. 4. Repair the gutter: Dig a small ditch around the beehive, and use cement to smooth the ditch, then pour water in the ditch to prevent ants from entering the hive.

1. How to deal with ants in the beehive

1. Replace the beehive

Wash the beehive with ants with clean water, then dry it before reusing it.

2. Spraying drugs

Spray medicine that can kill ants but will not harm bees (can be sprayed directly on the bottom of the hive). When the ants smell the medicine, they will stay away from the beehive, but be careful not to use too much to avoid affecting the bee colony.

3. Sprinkle lime

Sprinkle lime around the beehive to block the ants' route into the hive.

4. Repair the sink

Dig small trenches around the beehive and smooth the trenches with cement (plastic sheeting can also be used), then pour clean water into the trenches to prevent ants from entering the beehives.

5. Use lemon for isolation

Squeeze the juice from a fresh lemon, then draw a circle with the beehive as the center. This can also effectively prevent ants from entering the beehive, but be aware that the lemon juice is effective for a short time and needs to be replaced in time.

6. Use diesel for isolation

Nail iron nails at the four corners of the beehive, making the two back corners slightly higher and the nest entrance slightly lower. Then fill a bottle with an appropriate amount of diesel and place it near the nest entrance to prevent ants from entering the beehive.

2. Will the queen bee run out if there are ants in the beehive?

1. When ants appear in the beehive, the queen bee generally will not run away, but other bees may fly away. Therefore, during the beekeeping process, it is necessary to do a good job of preventing and controlling ants to prevent them from entering the beehive.

2. When ants appear in the beehive, it is generally difficult to completely eliminate them. Therefore, when cleaning, you should track individual ants (or ants that form a route) to find their nests, then pour a basin of boiling water (you can also spray pesticides and then cover the soil) to completely kill all the ants.

3. Is there any good way to get rid of ants in a beehive?

1. Ants are crawling animals, so you can block their route into the beehive. The best way is to build an isolation zone with fresh lemon juice about two or three meters away from the beehive. You can also smear fresh lemon pulp not far from the beehive, so that the ants will not enter the beehive.

2. If there are ants in the beehive, you can use medicine to treat them. The most common medicine is called "Ant Killer". It is easy to buy it at places where pesticides are sold. Then observe whether the ants in the beehive are attacking bees or honey. If they like to eat honey, you can mix honey into the medicine and place it not far from the beehive. If they bite bees, you can mix some lard into the medicine and place it near the beehive. This medicine has no effect on the quality of bees and bee products.

3. If there are ants in the beehive, you can also use the clean water isolation method, but this method is not suitable for large-scale use. Because you need to put all four corners of the beehive in clean water, it is very troublesome to operate if the bee farm is large. In addition, you can also go to the beekeeping equipment store to buy a special ant repellent pen. Use the pen with medicinal properties to draw a circle near the beehive to prevent ants from invading the beehive.
