Artificial Queen Beekeeping

Artificial Queen Beekeeping

Artificial king breeding is conducive to breeding kings, can accurately grasp the date of queen bee out of the house, and avoid natural separation of bees. 

1 . The utensils of the artificial king

The wax bowl stick (a mold for dipping the wax bowl) is made of a thin wood stick with a length of 100 mm. One end of the wax bowl is very smooth, and the diameter is 8-9 mm at a distance of 10 mm from the end. The wax bowl stick can be dipped into the wax bowl, and the wax bowl is the base of Yuwang. The Yuwang frame is a frame for placing the king's platform. It can be modified into a standard nest frame to have the same width, which is about 13 mm. Three slats with a width of 10 mm are installed horizontally in the frame at equal distances. The transfer needle is a tool used to transplant small larvae into the Wangtai bowl. It can be made by thick copper wire or goose feather tube. One end is a thin tongue-like shape, and the other is a spoon-like shape. The insect transfer needle with spring is easy to use. In addition, towels, basins, royal jelly, etc. must be prepared.

2. Implantation

Put a small amount of royal jelly that is not very thick in each wax bowl on the yuwang box, and then take a box of the spleen of the larvae of the appropriate age, shake and clean the bees on the spleen, and use a transfer needle to reach the semi-circular larvae Lift the back gently, and gently put the larvae on the royal jelly in the wax bowl. After each bowl is filled with the larvae, first put it in the Wuwang group for reception, and then move to the large group for feeding.

3. Implantation method

Single transfer is to take small larvae within 24 hours at a time to breed queen bee. In order to improve the quality of the queen bee, it is necessary to adopt a compound transfer. That is, after taking the big larva within 24 hours for the first time, the big larva is removed and replaced with the small larva within 24 hours to breed a queen bee.

After the second transfer, the queen bee emerges from the house after 12 days, and the copulation group is organized 2 days before the queen bee leaves the house. The mature royal station is assigned to the copulation group one day before. After the queen bee mates successfully, a new queen bee will be bred. Queen bee
