What are the common mistakes in beekeeping?

1. Greedy group

One of the mistakes that are easy to make in the process of beekeeping is greedy swarms. As the name suggests, greedy swarms mean that there are too many swarms of greedy bees. Many novices make this mistake in the first year of breeding. Some people buy five or six bee colonies at a time, and if they see a natural crown appearing in the bee colony, they will cut out the crown and divide the colony into two or more colonies of bees. As a result, there will be a lot of bee colonies in the bee farm, but there will be no strong colonies when the season changes, and the weak colonies will not be able to adapt to the seasonal changes. In the end, they may become weaker and weaker, leaving only a few bee colonies. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone, especially novice beekeepers, try to avoid this mistake, and should keep a few bee colonies to keep a strong colony. In this way, let it separate bees when bees are divided, and keep a strong colony for honey collection when collecting honey, and the production of honey will increase in autumn. In addition, strong colonies are also conducive to better overwintering and spring reproduction of bee colonies Work.

2 greedy spleen

The second mistake that is easy to make in the process of beekeeping is greedy spleen. Many novice beekeepers will make this mistake. When the number of bees is small, they will add spleen. It will be very embarrassing during this process. I don’t know whether to increase or decrease the spleen. In the end, there will be such a result, that is, the bees only make a little spleen, and some people’s bees will become weaker and weaker. There is no strong group. If there are too many spleens and too few bees in a bee colony, it will be impossible to keep the combs dry, and it is easy to cause various diseases and insect pests. In addition, fewer bees and more spleens will lead to inadequate nurturing of larvae by worker bees, thereby affecting the growth and development of young bees. Therefore, adding spleen should be added according to the number of bees. In most cases, it is necessary to keep more bees and less spleen. If there are many young bees in the bee colony and the external nectar source is relatively sufficient, you can properly add spleen so that the spleen is slightly more than bee or keep the honeycomb proportionate.

3. Always open the box

The third food that is easy to make mistakes in the beekeeping process is to often open the box. Some novice beekeepers are curious and anxious about the bees, so they often open the beehive, sometimes even several times a day. Little do they know that doing so will cause some bees to fly away, and even abandon their eggs when they lay eggs. If the box is often opened, it will affect the normal life and work of the honeybee. It is best to check the beekeeping purposefully. You can usually observe the condition of the bee colony outside the box. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to check once a week. When there are special circumstances in the bee colony, such as bee fever Wang, etc., you can check a little more frequently.
