1. In spring, people often release bees in orchards. Is this good for fruit trees?

There is no doubt that having bees in your orchard in the spring is a great thing to do.

Many fruit trees need pollination to bloom and set fruit, and pollination is generally spread through wind, insects and other means.

Bees are the main force in fruit tree pollination. Without bees, it would be difficult for fruit trees to achieve ideal pollination through wind alone, resulting in a decrease in fruit set rate, which is a huge loss for farmers.

Therefore, in some orchards, fruit farmers now raise bees specifically for pollination of fruit trees.

It should be noted that bees are sensitive to many pesticides. When spraying pesticides, be sure to avoid the flowering period to prevent the bees from being poisoned.

2. What season is suitable for beekeeping?

All seasons are suitable for beekeeping.

In insect taxonomy, bees (Bee/Honeybee) are a general term for insects belonging to the order Hymenoptera, suborder Sphenotype, division Apoidea, superfamily Apoidea, and family Apidae. They are an important group in the order Hymenoptera.

According to fossil data, bees have been found in large numbers in the late Eocene strata of the Tertiary Period. Many species of the Apidae family have great economic value and are closely related to human life. There are records of bees and their uses in ancient China. The products or behaviors of many species are closely related to medicine (such as honey, royal jelly, and bee venom), agriculture (such as crop pollination), and industry (such as beeswax and propolis). They are called resource insects. The most familiar ones are the Italian honey bees and the Oriental honey bees that are artificially domesticated for making honey.

3. When is the best time to keep bees?

The best time to keep bees is early spring, when the temperature rises and stabilizes, and nectar plants begin to bloom. Buying at this time is conducive to the reproduction of bee colonies and the effect will be seen in the same year.

In winter, the attendance of bees drops sharply, and new bees are cultivated to replace old and weak worker bees to ensure the survival rate of the bees during the winter. At this time, the queen bee cannot lay eggs, so the worker bees will start to build a new queen cell and cultivate a new queen to ensure the development of the colony. In order for bees to survive the winter safely, they must get human help, such as keeping the bee colony warm, storing enough winter feed for the bees, etc.
