CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What are the methods of raising bees? (Pictures of what are the methods of raising bees)

1. How to raise bees?

1. Selection of bee colonies: First of all, you need to choose bee colonies that are adapted to the local climate and other conditions according to your living environment. In this way, the survival rate of bees can be basically guaranteed.

2. Selection of beehives: Because beehives need to be placed outdoors, try to choose high-quality and sturdy ones.

3. Bee colony environment: Choose a cooler environment to avoid direct sunlight. It is better if there are flowers and plants around, which is convenient for bees to collect honey and is conducive to improving the quality of honey output. Remember, bee colonies must not be released on rainy days, otherwise a large number of bees will die.

4. Feeding: In addition to releasing the bees to collect honey on their own, they also need to be fed with honey, sugar water, etc. every night. In winter, it is necessary to increase artificial feeding efforts to maintain the survival of the bees and increase honey production.

5. Finally, you must pay attention to your own safety when raising bees, because bees are dangerous and you need to make appropriate protective preparations.

2. How to keep bees well?

In order to raise bees well, some key measures must be taken to achieve twice the result with half the effort. 1. Choose suitable bee species. Different bee species have different biological characteristics and production performance, and the same bee species has different performance under different geographical environments and nectar sources. Therefore, in beekeeping production, it is necessary to select high-quality bee species that have been selected to increase the output of bee products. A bee farm should not raise a bee species for a long time to avoid the decline of the production performance of the bee species, but should regularly introduce and change species. 2. Select and breed excellent queen bees. The quality of queen bees is mainly determined by two aspects: one is that the queen bee is young, and the other is that the queen bee is strong. Most young queen bees lay eggs actively, lay a lot of eggs, and lay eggs quickly. The queen bee is strong, its newborn is heavy, has many ovarian tubes, moves steadily, lays many eggs per day, lays eggs quickly and orderly, expands spirally, and lays eggs in the middle of the room eye. It does not lay drone eggs in the worker bee room for two or even three years, does not like to build a platform, does not like to swarm, and has a strong regularity in the time of stopping and starting egg laying. It has the inherent characteristics of this variety or group breeding. 3. Adequate honey, pollen and feed Adequate honey, pollen and feed, in a broad sense, means sufficient food. Food is the source of nutrition for bees' life, reproduction, honey syrup and beeswax to make honeycombs. To keep bees well, they must have sufficient food, which is especially important in the season when external nectar sources are scarce and during the wintering period. 4. Strong bee colonies A strong bee colony means that it can maintain a relatively strong skirt at all times of the year. Strong colonies overwinter, strong colonies multiply in spring, and strong colonies are put into production, which are the basic measures for high-yield beekeeping. Only with a strong bee colony can the mortality rate of overwintering bees be reduced, a strong production colony can be cultivated early in early spring, the ability of the bee colony to resist various diseases can be improved, strong and disease-free bee individuals can be cultivated, and the yield of bee products can be maximized. 5. Healthy bee colonies Healthy bee colonies are the guarantee of high yield in beekeeping. Some beekeepers only pursue the yield of bee products one-sidedly, but do not pay attention to the prevention and diagnosis of bee diseases. Once the bees are sick, even the strongest bee colonies may quickly decline or even the whole colony will be destroyed, which seriously affects the yield of bee products. Therefore, if you want to raise bees well, you must pay attention to the prevention and treatment of bee diseases, and follow the principle of preventing diseases before they occur and treating them early. Only by strengthening the prevention and treatment of bee diseases and ensuring that the bee colonies are healthy and disease-free can we lay a good foundation for high bee production.

3. How to raise bees?

1. Let the bees fly properly. Every spring is a critical period for bee reproduction. During the winter, bees will accumulate a lot of garbage in their intestines, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of bees. You can choose to put the beehive in the sun in sunny weather with a temperature above ten degrees to encourage the bees to fly. During the flight, the garbage in their bodies will be excreted.

2. The heat preservation of the beehive is very important. The spring, the breeding season of bees, is a time when the weather and temperature are changeable. Especially in the early spring, the outside temperature is relatively low and cannot reach the temperature required for the growth of bee larvae. At this time, farmers need to heat their beehives. The simplest way to keep warm is to surround the beehive with straw or cover it with a layer of plastic film. In addition, farmers should avoid opening and closing the nest door frequently in early spring, otherwise the heat in the beehive will be lost.

3. Queen breeding and swarming are beneficial to the reproduction of bees. Most of the queens in the spring bee colonies are the queens bred in the previous year. After two seasons of egg-laying, the peak egg-laying period of this queen is basically over. It is best for farmers to do queen breeding and swarming early, so as to greatly increase the number of bee colonies and bees on the basis of bee reproduction.

4. What are the techniques and methods of beekeeping?

1. Choose beehives

A basic condition for raising bees is to choose suitable beehives. You should choose boxes made of solid materials and light texture. Since beehives are generally placed in the open air and bees spend most of their lives outdoors, a good environment must be provided.

2. Transfer bee colonies

First, prepare the live-frame beehive in advance, transfer the purchased bee colony or the wild trapped bees into the beehive, and generally put the honeycomb together, so that the bees can quickly adapt to the new environment and resume normal activities.

3. Subsidized feeding

During the period of honey-gathering, bees are fed supplementary food, usually starting with artificial feeding in the evening, such as pollen, sugar water, honey, etc. In winter, bees collect less honey, so the number of feedings needs to be increased. They can be fed once in the morning and once in the evening with diluted sugar water.

4. Planting plants

In the process of raising bees, a large number of flowers and plants, such as peonies, peonies, rape flowers, etc., can be planted around the site to provide sufficient nectar sources to prevent the bees from flying to distant places and reducing economic benefits.

5. How to raise bees?

There are two ways to raise bees, one is traditional beekeeping and the other is live frame beekeeping. So how are these two ways of raising bees raised? What are the differences?

Traditional breeding methods. There are still many people who are raising bees in the traditional way. As far as I am concerned, there are not many people who are raising bees in the traditional way. Because traditional breeding is not convenient for managing bee colonies, it is difficult to develop on a large scale without certain technology. Traditional bee breeding does not require manual management of the bees. You only need to open the box and harvest the honey when harvesting honey. If you find that the bees are swarming, you will capture them. If you find that the bees are escaping, you will capture them. The beehive is opened less than a few times a year. Because the honeycombs built by traditional bee breeding are stuck together and are messy, it is inconvenient to check the bees and difficult to manage manually. Traditional breeding requires cutting off the brood combs together with the honey, which will hurt the brood combs and the honey yield will be lower.

Live frame breeding. Live frame breeding of bees is similar to Italian bee breeding, using live frame breeding. Live frame breeding is more convenient to manage, such as artificial swarming, honey harvesting, bee inspection, queen bee breeding and replacement, small transfer, etc. Live frame breeding of bees can harvest honey many times a year, because live frame breeding can shake honey, and live frame breeding of bees can also pack bees for small transfer, which can increase honey production.

Live frame farming

But from what I have seen here, I have found that people who buy bees prefer to buy honey from traditional bee farming. I wonder if it is the same in your area? Although the honey production of traditional bee farming is low, the price of honey produced by traditional bee farming is higher than that of live-frame farming in our area, and people also like to buy it. If what I said is wrong, please leave a message to correct me.

6. What are the tips and methods for raising bees?

1. Before we raise bees, we need to determine the number of bees we want to raise. Do not force raising too many bees. Honey production is actually closely related to the ability of the bees, and it is not completely proportional to the number of bees. We need to raise strong bees. Generally, strong bees are bred in the spring. It is necessary to control the growth of the bees at this time. This is the key.

2. When we raise bees, we need to add combs and expand the nests in a timely manner. This is also quite critical. Of course, we can also control the queen bee's egg-laying, which is also possible. Only in this way can we create bees with stronger abilities and collect more pollen.

3. When we raise bees, we need to provide them with certain amounts of feeding. Don’t think that we can rely on the bees to produce honey on their own. That is definitely not possible. We need to supplement the bees with protein, which can make the bees’ physique better and create more honey.

4. When we raise bees, we also need to control the number of septum combs and not cut them off in large numbers, as this will easily lead to a significant reduction in the subsequent bee output. It is best to choose an appropriate amount, which can increase the output of the bees and thus obtain high returns.

5. When we raise bees, we will definitely encounter some bad weather. In such weather, we must try our best to ensure the living environment of the bees. Never let the bees out on rainy days, as this will easily lead to the death of a large number of bees. This is what we need to know.

6. Careful care is required to ensure that bees can collect pollen normally during the flowering season. If there are too few flowers around, we can also choose to move them to an appropriate location. Don't sit and wait, as that will only make the bees go to far away places to collect pollen, which will not produce high yields.
