CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What are the knowledge and techniques of Chinese beekeeping?

1. Chinese bee breeding technology and management?

The breeding site must be south-facing, dry and ventilated. The beehive must be tight and seamless. The next step is reasonable management, including bee species selection, queen bee management, group temperature control management, and bee colony feed management.

The last step is moderate production. Wait until the honey on the honeycomb is capped and mature before taking it. Only in this way can the honey be high-quality honey.

2. Top-secret technology of Chinese beekeeping?

1. Collecting bee colonies

Chinese honey bees are distributed in most parts of my country, especially in the southern mountainous areas where there are extremely rich wild resources. If they can be captured and artificially bred, it will undoubtedly be the best source of bee species. Currently, there are two main ways to capture wild Chinese honey bees: luring bees and collecting bees. Luring bees is to use luring beehives to lure swarms or migratory bee swarms, while collecting bees is to find the hives of wild Chinese honey bees and then capture them.

2. Bee colony transfer

There are two main ways of breeding Chinese honeybees in our country: traditional soil breeding and live-frame beehive breeding. In order to facilitate the management of bee colonies in the future, it is recommended that you try to use live-frame beehive breeding. However, whether it is a newly collected bee colony or a soil breeding to live-frame breeding, the hive transfer technology is required. When transferring the hive, the Chinese honeybees' habit of loving honeycombs is mainly utilized. In short, some honeycombs should be placed in the beehive first and then the transfer operation should be performed.

3. Artificial feeding

Chinese honey bees generally do not need to be fed artificially, but they need "reward feeding" during the spring and autumn breeding season to stimulate the queen bee to lay eggs and encourage worker bees to raise larvae. In addition, "supplementary feeding" is also needed in winter or early spring to provide the necessary food for the bee colony. The feed can be honey water, syrup or pollen. The most commonly used syrup by beekeepers is syrup made by melting white sugar with an appropriate amount of boiling water.

4. Swarming treatment

The biggest disadvantage of the Chinese honey bee is its strong swarming tendency. There are two main ways to deal with swarming: natural swarming and artificial swarming. Natural swarming is to wait for the bee colony to swarm and then capture the swarms, while artificial swarming is to artificially split the bee colony into two groups when the queen cells are mature. One group contains the old queen bee and old worker bees, and the other group contains queen cells and new worker bees (worker bees that have not recognized the nest or conducted test flights).

5. Intervention of the Queen Bee

Chinese honey bees are relatively easy to lose their queen, so beekeepers must master certain queen removal techniques. There are two types of queen removal, direct and indirect, depending on the operation. Direct queen removal is to spray the queen bee with honey water and then put it into the bee colony, while indirect queen removal is to use a queen removal device. It is worth noting that when the queen bee is surrounded, do not use your hands to move the bee colony. Use methods such as spraying smoke or sprinkling water to rescue the queen bee.

6. Spring breeding management

Spring breeding is the key task of Chinese honey bee breeding. Doing a good job in spring breeding can significantly improve the beekeeping benefits throughout the year, but Chinese honey bees should pay attention to the following four points during spring breeding. First, the time of spring breeding should be determined according to the local climate. Second, there must be "more bees than combs" during the spring breeding period. Third, "reward feeding" should be continuous during the spring breeding period to promote rapid breeding of the bee colony. Fourth, the bee colony should be kept warm during the spring breeding period.

7. Autumn breeding management

The purpose of autumn breeding is to allow the bee colony to cultivate a large number of overwintering bees of appropriate age. Simply put, the more overwintering bees of appropriate age in the bee colony before wintering, the safer the wintering. The specific management is similar to spring breeding. First, the time of autumn breeding should be determined according to the local climate. Second, "reward feeding" should be carried out continuously during the autumn breeding period to promote rapid reproduction of the bee colony. Third, the "queen" should be closed in time in the late autumn breeding period to preserve the overwintering strength of the bee colony.

8. Overwintering of bee colonies

The wintering period is the key point for the success or failure of Chinese honey bee breeding. At this time, there are two key management aspects. The first is to supplement the bee colony with enough food before wintering. Because the worker bees gather in groups and rely on eating honey to produce heat during the wintering, the bee colony will starve to death or freeze to death if there is insufficient food. The second is to keep the beehives well insulated, but the principle of insulation is "better to be cold than warm", because excessive insulation will cause the bee colony to disperse and cause wintering failure.

IX. Disease prevention and control

Disease prevention and control is the highlight of Chinese honey bee breeding. In fact, it is also the culprit for most people's beekeeping failure. Therefore, we must "prevent early, detect early, and treat early" for diseases, especially the sac brood disease and nest insects that pose the greatest threat to Chinese honey bees. Once an outbreak occurs, it can be devastating to the entire apiary. In addition, when the harm caused by enemies (mainly hornets) is serious, we must assist the bee colony in fighting against natural enemies.

3. Technical guide for breeding Chinese bees?

1. Nectar source: A bee farm must be built in a place with abundant nectar source. The reason is that bees cannot survive normally and make honey from collecting nectar. If there is a lack of nectar source nearby, the survival of the bee colony will be a problem, let alone expecting bees to collect nectar and make honey.

2. Environment: The apiary must be built in a quiet environment. The reason is that the microclimate near the apiary is more conducive to the reproduction of the bee colony. For example, when the temperature is high, the bees will fan or collect water to cool down, which will invisibly increase the burden on the bee colony.

3. Climate: The apiary must be established in a place with a suitable climate. The reason is that the bee colony can only develop stably in a quiet environment. Otherwise, the bee colony may not be able to collect and make honey quietly. If it is severely disturbed, the bee colony may even abandon the nest and flee.

4. Pests: Bee farms must be built in places where pests are rare. This is because there are many pests in nature that will invade and kill bees. For example, hornets will not only kill worker bees that go out to collect honey, but will also concentrate on attacking bee colonies in seasons when food is scarce.

4. Teaching of Chinese bee breeding technology?

Chinese bee breeding is generally divided into two methods: soil breeding technology and movable frame breeding technology.

Soil culture is the most common method in ordinary farmers' homes. It only requires a few wooden barrels, which are turned upside down in front of and behind the farmers' houses.

The wooden barrel needs to be boiled in a large pot, and salt, a small amount of honey, and a small amount of beeswax can be added to the water. You can also use pure Chinese beeswax to brush the boiled wooden barrel inside the barrel, and brush the bottom of the barrel thicker.

Under normal circumstances, in general places, when the spring equinox comes, it is the peak season for the natural swarming of Chinese bees. Natural swarms of bees will come to build nests, and after the big nectar source has passed, honey can be collected. In general, two seasons of honey can be collected in a year, with average yield, extremely high concentration, good taste, and slightly expensive price.

This is the technology of raising Chinese bees in the traditional way. Although the output is average, the management and operation methods are extremely simple. It is very suitable for novice beekeepers, or individual investors who raise a small number of Chinese bees. It is also suitable for amateur beekeepers who raise a few groups of bees to enrich their spare time.

Based on this traditional soil breeding technology, many derivative breeding technologies have been developed, such as lattice boxes, Three Gorges barrels, etc. They have one thing in common, that is, the lazy beekeeping method, which is simple to operate and has a low technical threshold.

The live-frame breeding of Chinese honeybees is a breeding technology that has begun to be scaled up and industrialized.

This kind of breeding technology is very professional. It is best to learn under the guidance of local, professional beekeepers to avoid novice beekeepers from making mistakes.

1. The first thing is to choose the breeding environment. The breeding site is required to face north and south, and be dry and ventilated.

2. The beehive must be tight and seamless. The next step is reasonable management, including bee species selection, queen bee management, colony temperature control management, and bee colony feed management.

3. The last step is moderate production. Wait until the honey on the honeycomb is capped and mature before taking it. Only in this way can you get high-quality honey.

6. Chinese bee breeding technology?

1. Choosing the time for transfer First, the nectar and pollen source plants outside are blooming and flowing, the bees are diligent in collecting nectar, and there is a certain amount of honey accumulated in the nest. During this period, it is not easy to be stolen, and the bee colony will recover and grow quickly.

Then, the general technology of living frame breeding of Chinese bees must understand the following outlines:

First, clarify the purpose of raising Chinese bees. That is, you need to think clearly whether you raise Chinese bees mainly to sell bee colonies, honey, or both. Only when you have clarified your ultimate cash-out goal, you will be more purposeful and selective in the actual breeding operation.

Second, you must be clear about and understand the strength of your local Chinese bee colony, its honey production capacity, and its ability to adapt to survival in the wild.

Only by knowing these clearly can the beekeeper decide what kind of bee colony to use as the breeding stock and what specifications of beehives to choose.

Third, choose the address of the apiary.

Choose a site with honey source, water source, sunlight, shade and slope. Also, the site should be free of wind, pollution from factories, noise from poultry farms and various processing plants. This is because bees love cleanliness and quietness, and they also want to produce better and healthier wild native honey.

Fourth, understand and record the cycles of local pollen and nectar plants.

Know clearly the pollen and nectar source plants in your area, when they bloom, when they produce nectar, and keep good records, the more detailed the better. This is to know clearly when to collect nectar, when to breed queens, and when to replace queens.

Fifth, learn, learn, and learn again continuously.

Learn more and communicate more from books and on the Internet. Don’t be a beekeeper who is groping in the dark, don’t be a arrogant beekeeper, and don’t be a beekeeper who works in isolation.

Sixth, observe, carefully observe the various living habits and physiological characteristics of Chinese bees.

To raise bees well, you must know the living habits and physiological characteristics of Chinese bees. To know these clearly, you can only rely on meticulous observation, continuous research and comprehension, and accumulation over time to develop a set of Chinese bee breeding and management techniques suitable for your local area.

Seventh, prevention and treatment techniques of diseases and pests.

One of the most important reasons for putting the treatment and prevention of diseases and pests last is that, under normal circumstances, our Chinese bees do not need special drugs for treatment.

The main thing is that beekeepers, in their daily beekeeping operations, are directly related to the causes of pests and diseases. Of course, qualified beekeepers must also have the ability to treat infectious and bacterial infections.
