3. How can one raise bees at home alone?

1. Site selection

The bee farm should be located in a sunny place with clean and dry ground and surrounded by a large number of nectar-producing crops. For small-scale beekeeping, the garden in front of or behind the house can be used.

Apiary should not be built along the banks of larger rivers or lakes (a small river several dozen meters wide is fine) to avoid the bees being blown into the water and drowning when flying to the other side to collect honey; it should not be built under high-voltage lines, because electromagnetic waves will interfere with the bee colony, making the bees lost or restless; it should not be built near sugar factories or sugar workshops to avoid the bees flying to the workshops and being killed in large numbers; it should not be built in places with vibrations, such as steam hammer operations, next to large electric motors, and in mountain quarries; it should not be built in polluted places, such as manure yards, garbage stations, refineries, etc.; and it is also not suitable to build apiaries in low-lying and humid places.

2. Purchase of bee colonies

Beginners should buy 5 to 10 bee colonies for the first year to try raising them, and then raise more after gaining experience. It is best to buy bees in the spring when the bee colonies leave the room, and it is not suitable to buy bees in autumn. When buying bees, you should choose strong colonies, and buy colonies with 4 to 5 frames of bees in spring. The standard for a full frame of bees is that both sides of the honeycomb are covered with bees. If the honeycomb surface is sparse and not tightly covered, it cannot be considered a frame of bees.

4. How to raise bees for apitherapy at home?

First, keep it away from light. Bees are impatient and photophilic. When they find themselves locked up, they often die of impatience. The bodies of impatience-dead bees are black. So after bee therapy, we must put the bee therapy box in a dark place, such as a drawer or a dark room. In this way, the bees will think it is night and stay quietly in the bee therapy box to make and eat honey.

Second: Feed them with food - rock sugar. Do not feed them with water. Bees are medical insects that are very particular about hygiene. In order to maintain the hygiene of their living environment, they excrete outside the hive. They would rather hold their stool than excrete it in the hive where they live. Bees often hold their stool like this, which will cause them to die of suffocation or get a big stomach disease or enteritis. Therefore, in order to prevent them from starving to death, only sugar is fed, not water, to reduce their excretion and supply them with energy so that they will not starve to death, and to extend the time they can be kept in the bee therapy box.

Third: The bees need a suitable temperature in the box.

The most suitable temperature for bees to survive is 15-25 degrees Celsius. Bees are cold-blooded animals. When a single bee is stationary, its body temperature is very close to the surrounding temperature. The critical temperature that Chinese bees and Italian bees can withstand is 10-13 degrees Celsius respectively. When the temperature drops to 13 degrees, the bees are frozen. Therefore, it is best to keep bees in our bee therapy box at around 20 degrees Celsius, because if the temperature is too low, the bees will freeze to death. If the temperature is too high, the bees will be excited, and their metabolism will be fast, which will shorten their lifespan and cause death. At around 20 degrees Celsius, the basic survival temperature of the bees is guaranteed without making them too excited.

5. How to keep bees at home?

1. Choose a site. The bee farm should be located in a place that is sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, with clean and dry ground and a large number of nectar-producing crops around.

The bee farm should not be built along the banks of large rivers or lakes (a small river several dozen meters wide is fine) to prevent the bees from flying towards

6. How to keep 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.
