A few things about beekeeping in October
The temperature of "cold dew" is getting lower and lower, and the bee colony is ready for winter. The emergence of young bees is almost over, and feed must be prepared. "Frost" came, the nectar was extinct, and the worker bees flew without incident. Watch out for rampant bees and safe overwintering.
1. Continue to complete unfinished wintering measures: for example, young kings in prisons, preventing worker bees from laying eggs, feeding overwintering fodder, preventing and stopping theft, etc.
2. Treatment of mites: the reproduction of young bees is over on the 10th, when all mites are exposed, spray mite treatment water twice every other day, and then sprinkle sublimated sulfur and mite treatment water on the basket beam every two times to eliminate bees . Mites are an important measure to ensure safe overwintering.
3. Prepare for the wintering of the combined group: (1) When the maximum temperature is stable at about 20°C, take out the excess spleen, leaving only a large number of spleens, so that the worker bees gather densely. spleen. (2) Slow down the beehives that are ready to be merged. (3) Pay attention to the shadow of the nest door and avoid flying in the air.
