1. What is the frameless breeding and management technology for bees?

Frameless beekeeping belongs to the category of traditional beekeeping. It is the bee culture and custom of my country's beekeeping. After thousands of years of development, it has formed a unique breeding method that is closer to the natural lifestyle of the bee colony and has a certain scientific nature. Since we do not understand the living habits of Chinese bees as thoroughly as Italian bees, and there are regional differences, the colonies of Chinese bees raised in live frames are mostly smaller than those without frames, but have more bee diseases than those without frames. Therefore, there are still a considerable number of frameless breeding methods for Chinese bees.

Although live-frame beekeeping is the current development direction, and more than half of Chinese bees have been raised in live-frames, frameless beekeeping will still exist for a long time in some areas or nature reserves. Frameless beekeeping uses round beehives, square beehives, wooden boxes, thorn baskets, etc. as nests.

For example, to raise Chinese bees in a beehive, a tree section 60-80cm high and 35cm in diameter is hollowed out, and two 3cm square wooden strips are used to form a cross in the middle of the tree section. The lower part of the square wood is used for making honeycombs for reproduction, and the upper part is used for making honeycombs for storing honey. The beehive is placed on a stone cart or base (wooden board), with the nest door at the bottom, the upper opening is covered with wooden boards or stone slabs, and the gap is filled with soil.

2. What are the techniques and methods of beekeeping?

1. Choose beehives

A basic condition for raising bees is to choose suitable beehives. You should choose boxes made of solid materials and light texture. Since beehives are generally placed in the open air and bees spend most of their lives outdoors, a good environment must be provided.

2. Transfer bee colonies

First, prepare the live-frame beehive in advance, transfer the purchased bee colony or the wild trapped bees into the beehive, and generally put the honeycomb together, so that the bees can quickly adapt to the new environment and resume normal activities.

3. Subsidized feeding

During the period of honey-gathering, bees are fed supplementary food, usually starting with artificial feeding in the evening, such as pollen, sugar water, honey, etc. In winter, bees collect less honey, so the number of feedings needs to be increased. They can be fed once in the morning and once in the evening with diluted sugar water.

4. Planting plants

In the process of raising bees, a large number of flowers and plants, such as peonies, peonies, rape flowers, etc., can be planted around the site to provide sufficient nectar sources to prevent the bees from flying to distant places and reducing economic benefits.

3. Bee breeding technology?

1. Breeding environment

The quality of the breeding environment is very important for the growth of bees. While ensuring the beehive environment, we must also pay attention to the natural environment outside. The natural environment must ensure good permeability, no water accumulation and moderate temperature. It is best to be in small hills and mountains with trees. Then the specifications of the beehive must ensure that it is suitable for the growth of bees. There should be no holes or cracks in the beehive to prevent bee theft. It is best to keep the beehive about 50 cm above the ground, so that it can ensure light and provide shade and drainage.

2. Selection of bee species

Bees have a very long history, and thus many different species have gradually been formed, so we cannot introduce species at random. And because our native bees are now being maintained by foreign species, the country also introduces species randomly to prevent species confusion. And there are differences in the bee species in various parts of my country. For example, bees in the north have a strong ability to withstand cold and are very afraid of heat, so they are not suitable for breeding in the south. Therefore, when we introduce species, in order to ensure the purity of the bee species, we try to focus on self-retained species.

3. Feed management

When we raise bees, we must have sufficient sugar feed at all times. The most common one is honey. Honey is one of the main feeds for bees. It can enhance the physical fitness of bees and prolong the growth cycle. However, the pollen-collecting ability of Chinese bees is relatively weak. Generally, the bee colony is in a state of pollen shortage, which leads to poor reproductive capacity of Chinese bees. Therefore, we need to feed an appropriate amount of pollen and feed them enough every time at the beginning of the breeding season. Make the pollen into a paste every time you feed it, and then place it not far from the beehive, and let the bees move it back to the beehive.

4. Temperature management

Temperature is the key to the healthy growth of bees, and the best way to regulate the temperature of the beehive is the number of honeycombs. Maintaining a constant temperature in the beehive is the primary goal of temperature management. It not only improves the growth ability of young bees, but also makes it easier to clean the beehive and prevent predators from invading. Before the bee colony hibernates, sufficient feed should be prepared. When the temperature is below 6 degrees, put an appropriate amount of straw in the beehive to fill the partitions. When the temperature gradually rises, the straw can be taken out appropriately according to the actual situation to facilitate the growth and reproduction of the bees.

4. 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.

5. Northern Chinese bee breeding technology

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. 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.

7. Bee breeding, management and methods?

1. Cultivate into a production group as soon as possible

For newly purchased bee colonies, timely prevent and treat bee mites and other bee diseases, keep the number of bees greater than the number of combs (very important, beginners like to add combs), and keep the colony strong and disease-free. When there is a lack of nectar and pollen sources in the outside world, supplement the feed, and then reward feeding every day or every other day to stimulate the queen bee to lay more eggs. Healthy worker bees are in high spirits and can raise more strong young bees. Frequent watering in the nest not only saves "labor", but also avoids freezing to death of water-collecting bees or causing illness to the colony due to sewage collected, and can quickly develop the colony into a production colony with supers. At the same time, without breaking up the strong colony, rear the queen, organize the supers for mating, and implement the combination of production, rearing the queen, and mating.

2. Strong colony super box transfer insects to raise queens

When the bee colony develops into a super colony, natural queen cells will often appear. At this time, just let nature take its course, slightly enlarge the opening of the queen cell, take out the larvae in the cell without stirring the royal jelly, and select one-day-old larvae to move into the cell. Beginners need to practice moving larvae several times to ensure that the larvae are not harmed. If they cannot be moved, they can temporarily use a natural cell and select the best queen to keep later.

Multiple natural queen cells (preferably artificially transplanted queen cells) can be used on one comb, and all queen cells on other combs should be destroyed. Put the queen-rearing comb into the super, and place larval combs and honey-pollen combs on both sides. It is best to add a double-layer queen excluder between the nest and the super, and add a gauze cover frame (without gauze) between the two boards, so that there is a certain space between the two queen excluders to reduce the impact of the old queen on the super.

3. Stack the third box to make a crossover box

The day before the new queen comes out, add another super, open the side door or the back door, add a queen excluder between the two supers, lift the honeycomb with queen cells into the new super (i.e. the third box), and then lift two honeycombs and place them on both sides of the honeycomb with the queen cells. When the young queen comes out three days later, remove the queen excluder between the mating box and the original box, replace it with a gauze cover and add a cloth, shake off the worker bees from the two queenless honeycombs, return them to the original group, and leave one honeycomb in the mating box as an independent mating group. Observe the egg-laying situation of the new king after 10 days. If it is normal, the new king has successfully mated.

4. Swarming to increase the colony

There are two methods to isolate the proliferating population:

1. Take the new queen colony out of the original box and move it to a new location. Then add a capped comb that is about to be released from the room. After 3 days, add a second capped comb to form a production colony as soon as possible.

2. Take out the old queen with two sealed honeycombs as a new colony, and shake in two worker honeycombs, and supplement and develop them as soon as possible to become a production colony. At the same time, remove the cloth covering the mating box and the original box, leaving the gauze. After 8-12 hours, spray the whole colony with white wine syrup (500g syrup added to two small cups of white wine), put the honeycomb with the new queen in the super, spray some white wine syrup, sprinkle the mating box, and cover the beehive. Observe the queen on the next day. If she is normal, swap the supers (or the queen enters the hive), and the colony will be successfully multiplied.
