CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is it dangerous to keep bees? Why do they die? (Is it dangerous to keep bees? Why do they die?)

1. What is the reason for the mass death of bees?

Normally, the death rate of bees is slightly higher as winter approaches, which is understandable. After all, from spring to autumn, bees have worked hard to collect honey, and it is time for them to die. However, if there are large numbers of deaths, there is a problem. It is likely that most of them died of illness or starvation. Normally, the bees will clean the hive by themselves. If they don’t clean, there is a problem with your bees. Check carefully to see if there is a lack of sugar or if the bees are sick. Pay attention to the prevention of mites and diseases before the bees hibernate, and prepare food for the bees to hibernate. Or if there is honey in your beehive, other bees want to enter your beehive to steal the sugar and fight to death. In this case, there should be dead bees outside your beehive, and you will see bees fighting.

2. Why are bees dying in large numbers?

1. Wasp invasion

Many people believe that bees have a certain degree of defense against wasps, but in fact, bees have limited defense capabilities against wasps. Generally, long-legged wasps and black-tailed wasps are not a big threat to bees, especially long-legged wasps, which are basically no match for bees. Black-tailed wasps have a greater impact on weak colonies, but if it is a hornet, bees are completely unable to resist. If the invasion of hornets is not discovered in time, two hornets can completely fill the entrance of the beehive with a layer of bee corpses within half an hour.

2. Bee Stealing

If beekeepers fail to deal with bee theft in a timely manner, serious cases can also lead to a huge death toll, which is mainly reflected in the dead bees hugging each other, and some are not dead yet. The cause of bee theft is generally related to the beekeeper's habit of feeding bees, or never feeding them, which leads to extreme hunger of bees. In addition, the mixed breeding of Chinese bees and Italian bees are the main reasons for bee theft in bee colonies.

3. Why are domestic bees dying in large numbers?

If domestic bees suddenly die in large numbers, there are several main reasons: 1. Poisoning. When the bees step on honey or pollen,

Spray pesticides on others!
