Bee Colony Management In Different Periods
During the idle period, 6 beehives can be used as a group, with 11 drone spleens, which are rotated every 2 days, regardless of the number of eggs laid, to ensure the consistent age of the drones. The feeding group takes turns for 2 days plus a drone egg spleen. In the 10th round, the spleen was first released for 22 days. At this time, more mature drone pupae can be produced. At the same time, try to avoid opening the box during the breeding period, so as not to disturb the normal order of the colony.
Winter management
When beekeeping spends the winter, it is necessary to store overwintering feed at the end of autumn and feed it with high-quality syrup or white sugar solution to allow the bees to fully brew. You can also seal the beehive, find a shelter from the wind, cover the box with a thick layer of mud to keep the interior at a constant temperature, you need to leave a few openings for the box, not completely sealed.
The later management of breeding bees can refer to the following methods.
Cultivation of collection bees of appropriate age: According to the development age of worker bees and the age of worker bees who are out of the collection activities, from 40 days before the main nectar source plants to 30 days before the end of the nectar flow period, early change to a good new queen bee to prevent occurrence of damage bee. Keep enough food: Keep enough honey powder in the nest, take less or no honey. When the output of the pulp production group drops to about 15 grams each time, stop production at the right time, and finally prevent bee stealing.
