1. When should the new queen colony of bees collect honey from the towering ancient trees?When collecting honey from a new group of kings, first look at whether they are raised in soil or in live frames. Different raising methods will require different methods and times for collecting honey. Early spring: Bees begin to collect honey and multiply after the weather warms up in spring. It is the peak honey flow period outside. After the bee colony grows rapidly after the spring multiplication, the honey production capacity will be greatly improved in a short period of time. It is necessary to collect honey early to avoid the hive being filled with honey due to the surge in honey collecting capacity. If there is enough honey in the hive, the bees' enthusiasm for collecting honey will decrease, thus wasting their honey production capacity. Be diligent in summer: At the beginning of summer, a large number of nectar-producing plants outside are in bloom, and the bee colonies are also in full bloom. The beehives will soon be filled with a large amount of pollen and honey. At this time, honey shaking is more frequent. At the end of summer, the flowers slowly wither over time, and honey shaking gradually decreases. Be steady in autumn: In autumn, the number of plants with nectar sources blooms increases. In Guizhou, there are more wild chrysanthemums and Senecio serrata, and the bee colonies are also relatively strong. Be cautious in collecting honey and make sure to collect an appropriate amount of honey. Do not be blind. Do a good job of autumn breeding. In the later stage, a large number of bee colonies are needed to raise the larvae. The quality of autumn breeding directly affects the success or failure of the bee colony's wintering, so while collecting honey, it is necessary to store enough wintering feed for the bee colony. Stop beekeeping in the winter: There is honey to be collected in the southern regions in winter. In most areas, you can collect honey once or twice. Choose strong colonies and extract combs. However, you must control the amount of honey you collect in winter. Do not be greedy and take more. Otherwise, it may bring disaster to the colony, because the bee colony is the foundation of beekeeping. If the honey is gone, you can collect it again in the second year. If the bees are gone, the loss will be great. 2. Which province is the ancient tree that keeps bees from?People from Heilongjiang, bees in Greater Khingan Range, Lesser Khingan Range, Changbai Mountain, and linden honey. 3. Ancient Wood Beekeeping Textbook: How to preserve ginger?1. Sand storage method: Place fresh ginger in a basin, jar or wide-mouthed bottle, cover it with 3 cm thick moist fine sand, and then cover it. It can be kept fresh for 1-2 months. 2. Plastic bag storage method: Wash, put in a small plastic bag and sprinkle some salt, do not seal it, take it out when you need it, it can be kept for about 10 days. 3. Jar preservation method: Put fresh ginger in a jar, cover it with yellow mud, and water it a little every day. It can be kept for about a month. 4. Sandy soil preservation method: For fresh ginger to be stored, choose large pieces of ginger with intact skin and thick stems. After breaking off the small teeth, bury them in moist but not wet fine sand or loess. The best way to keep ginger fresh is to wash it and bury it in a jar filled with salt, which can keep the ginger from drying out for a long time and keep its rich ginger fragrance. 4. Ancient tree beekeeping queen breeding technology?1. When transferring larvae to raise queen bees, it is necessary to transfer small worker bee larvae that are less than three days old. If the larvae are more than three days old, they can no longer develop into queen bees. From the perspective of quality and operation, it is generally recommended to transfer small one-day-old worker bee larvae. 2. When removing the combs to raise a queen bee, the bee colony must first be artificially made to lose its queen. However, it is best to keep the original queen bee somewhere else for a period of time. The reason is that if the queen bee breeding fails, the original queen bee can be reintroduced into the bee colony. 3. The quality of the queen bee depends on the mother colony and the drones that mate with it. Therefore, a colony with better genetic characteristics should be selected as the mother colony. At the same time, drones should be bred using a colony that can maintain a strong colony and has high productivity. 5. What kind of beehives should be used to raise Chinese bees on ancient trees?It is best to use an old-fashioned round barrel with a length of 65 cm and a diameter of 30 cm. When placed, use a horizontal position. 6. Is it necessary to cover towering ancient trees with sand when raising Chinese bees?need. One type of sub-cover is in the form of a sand cover, which is often used with a covering cloth. The sand cover allows air to flow and prevents bees from entering and exiting, while the covering cloth keeps the bees warm. The other type of sub-cover is in the form of a solid wood board, which keeps the bees warm and moisturized. It is rarely used in lattice boxes and is rarely used in other beehives. 7. How to solve the problem of worker bee production in the ancient towering trees beekeeping unit?In a normal bee colony, each brood comb can only contain one bee egg, and the sealed cells in the middle are all worker bee combs. In a brood comb where worker bees have laid eggs, there are multiple bee eggs in the cells. The more eggs there are in the cells, the more bees are laying eggs, and the longer the laying time is. If there are a large number of sealed drone cells in the middle brood comb, it means that the laying time is very long, and the drone larvae laid by the worker bees have been sealed. In addition, the longer the laying time is, the more oily and darker the bees' body color becomes, and they are ferocious and love to sting people. Empty spleen replacement First, we use an empty honeycomb without honey, eggs, or lids, then remove the other honeycombs in the colony, move in this empty honeycomb, cover the hive lid, let the bees return to the honeycomb, and let it sit for a while. After the colony is quiet, move a few meters horizontally, place a new beehive at the original location, move in a honeycomb with more larvae and fewer empty cells, and then introduce a queen bee that has started laying eggs. Using returning bees to organize new bee colonies It is the nature of bees to return to their home. As long as they do not exceed the effective identification distance of bees, they will fly back to their original location. The distance is about 3 kilometers. The closer the distance, the more bees will return. After a while, the bee colony that has been moved away will begin to have returning bees. These returning bees are all normal worker bees that have not laid eggs. At this time, it is necessary to pay attention to the worker bees' acceptance of the queen bee. Experienced beekeepers do not need to lock up the queen bee. For novice beekeepers, it is recommended to use a queen cage to temporarily hold the queen bee in the honeycomb and release the queen bee after a few hours. Technical key analysis 1. To determine whether worker bees have laid eggs, we mainly look at the number of eggs inside the cells. As long as there are more than two eggs in individual cells and the queen bee cannot be found or there are queen cells, it means that worker bees have laid eggs. 2. Replacing empty combs is to further control the bees that have already produced. After a few days of starvation, these bees will stop producing. The other bees will go out to collect food and then fly back to their original location. 3. The returning bees do not all come back at once. It takes one or two days. The remaining few bees, except for the new bees that have not been tested, are the bees that have produced eggs. They can be merged into other bee colonies after a few days. If the original honeycombs still have lids, put them outside the partition first, and wait until the lids are out before freezing the eggs. Now the weather is getting hotter, there are more and more natural enemies outside, and the success rate of mating of new queen bees is getting lower and lower, so beekeepers must protect the existing queen bees. When opening the box to check the bees, be careful of the small bee clusters on the beehive cover, because the queen bee often stays cool on the small bee clusters, and it is easy to lose the queen bee if you are not careful, so beekeepers should pay more attention to this. 8. How to deal with the towering ancient trees and the beekeeping king?The beekeeper cannot rescue the queen bee directly with hands. He needs to spray her with clean water. When the worker bees disperse, he can use the queen cage to lock up the queen. Place the queen cage on the frame beam for more than 24 hours, soak the queen bee with honey water and then insert it into the bee colony. At this time, he basically does not need to be surrounded anymore. 9. How to breed Chinese bees in ancient trees?There are two ways to raise Chinese bees: traditional breeding and movable frame breeding. Traditional breeding refers to raising Chinese bees in wooden barrel beehives or round barrel beehives, while movable frame breeding refers to raising Chinese bees in movable frame beehives like Italian bees. Here we recommend trying to choose more convenient movable frame beehives to raise Chinese bees. In addition, unlike Italian bees, Chinese bees are mostly raised at fixed points or in fixed-point, small-scale, mixed breeding areas. 10. How to lure bees into the bee boxes in the Ancient Tree Beekeeping Class?1. Use the smell of honey to attract bees into the hive: You can choose some old beehives, smear some honey inside, and then put it in the place where wild bees often move. Observe every evening to see if there are any bees entering. If so, you can move the beehive away. The transfer distance must be more than three kilometers, otherwise the bees will return. 2. Use the remains of the beehive to lure bees into the hive: If you want to lure wild bees into the beehive, you need to find areas where wild bees are active in large numbers in advance. Then, in the evening, light the remains of the beehive near the beehive. The wild bees will then come to the beehive after smelling the fragrance. If the beehive also has the smell of bees living there, they will enter the hive. 3. Use scout bees to lead bees into the hive: There are also scout bees in wild bee colonies. After finding their traces, you can use some honey to lure them into the hive. At this time, do not close the nest door, but let them leave on their own. After repeating this several times, the scout bees will bring a large number of bees. After the bee colony arrives, you need to find the queen bee and cut off its wings, so that a large number of bees will not leave again. |
