CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to raise bees in spring (How to raise bees in spring)

1. Bee breeding and management?

When raising bees, it is necessary to establish a breeding place in a place with abundant nectar sources, good water quality, and sheltered from the wind and facing the sun. In the spring, the bees must be kept warm by covering the beehives with windproof cloth. In the summer, it is necessary to take cooling measures for the bees and place sunshade nets on the beehives to prevent the bees from dying after being exposed to the sun.

How to raise bees

1. Breeding sites

When raising bees, it is necessary to establish a breeding place in a place with good water quality, sufficient water source, and sheltered from the wind and facing the sun. In addition, different plants should be selected in different seasons to provide nectar sources for the bees and facilitate their nectar collection. For example, in spring, plants such as rapeseed or peach trees should be planted near the place.

2. Spring maintenance

Spring is the breeding season for bees. When raising bees in spring, you need to keep them warm. You can place windshield cloth on the beehive and install a heating plate under the beehive to keep the temperature inside the beehive at around 34 degrees to facilitate the breeding and growth of bees. In addition, you should clean the bees when the weather is clear.

3. Summer maintenance

The temperature is higher in summer, which affects the number and quality of eggs laid by the queen bee. When raising bees in summer, it is necessary to take cooling measures. You can place shade nets on the beehives to prevent the bees from being exposed to direct sunlight, and you should also replace the old queen bee with a new one if her reproductive ability has deteriorated.

4. Winter management

The low temperature in winter can cause the death of bees. When raising bees in winter, you need to provide them with food. You can use sugar water made by mixing sugar and water, or honey water made by diluting honey with water. In addition, you should place a double layer of warm cloth on the beehive to allow the bees to survive the winter smoothly.

2. 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.

3. How often should bee breeders be fed in spring?

① Feeding in good weather makes it easier for bees to eat. This also ensures that there will be honey stored in the honeycomb when the weather is bad, so there is no need to feed.

②. Do not feed too much sugar water each time, as the bees may not be able to finish eating it and may easily drown.

③. The cycle of feeding sugar water is generally once every three days. If the weather is good and there is nectar source outside, the cycle can be extended.

④. Adapt to the conditions of the bees and the local climate. Generally speaking, feed the bees only when they need it.

⑤. When feeding bees, you should take measures to prevent bee theft.

4. Bee breeding techniques in spring in western Guangdong?

1. Choose the right time to breed bees.

Choose the best time to breed bees according to your environment, mainly considering two factors:

1. Temperature. The most preferred temperature for bees is around 18°C, at which the bees will reproduce faster.

② Weather: If it is rainy, wet and cold for a long time, the strength of the bee colony should be preserved, and it is not advisable to start spring breeding too early. Forcing it will only backfire.

2. Keep warm at night.

There is a certain temperature difference between day and night in spring. The lower temperature at night will have a certain negative impact on the bee colony, so when breeding bees, it is necessary to do a good job of keeping the bee colony warm at night to urge the bee colony to grow faster.

3. Ensure food supply.

During the bee breeding period, bees rely on pollen to raise offspring. Young bees eat pollen to strengthen their physical fitness and improve the quality of bees, so food supply must be guaranteed during the bee breeding period in spring.

However, one thing that needs to be noted is that when there is a lot of rain and it is inconvenient for bees to go out to excrete, excessive pollen feeding should be avoided to avoid causing a large number of crawling bees.

4. Collect spring honey.

There will be a continuous supply of nectar starting from the rape flowers in spring, such as astragalus, orange tree flowers, etc., which are all good nectar sources in spring. At this time, you should carry out planned nectar collection work according to the weather after the bee colony has been propagated to a certain strength.

5. 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.
