Big Data Of Bees

1. An Italian worker bee weighs about 100 milligrams, and 10,000 worker bees weigh about 1 kg. 10,000 worker bees can crawl up to 3.5 combs, which is about 3.5 frames. A 15 frame nectar-collecting colony will breed approximately 4.25 Ten thousand bees. There are about 60,000 bees in the 20-frame nectar gathering group.

2. A worker bee has 4 pairs of wax glands. The wax glands of worker bees begin to secrete wax 3 to 5 days after emergence. One kilogram of beeswax contains about 4 million wax scales. It takes about 50 wax scales to build a worker hive; 120 wax scales to build a male hive. Bees secrete 1 kg of wax and consume more than 5 kg of honey. Under normal circumstances, 1 kg of bees can produce 500 grams of beeswax in their lifetime and can feed 26,000 larvae.

3. A gathering bee can pick up honey from the nest about 20 times a day, with an average of 10 times. The amount of honey is about 40 mg each time, up to 70 mg. A honey-gathering colony with 15 frames of bees only has more than 20,000 bees. Once collected, about 0.5 kg of honey can be made. Based on an average of 10 honey collections per day, a 15-frame honey collection The group can collect more than 5 kg of mature honey a day.

4. Worker bees collect powder once out of the nest and return with a full load. They must collect 6 to 10 minutes, up to 187 minutes; they usually collect 6 to 8 times a day, up to 47 times, with an average of 10 times; each time they pick up the powder, the weight is 12-29 mg. It contains 3 to 4 million pollen grains. The hairy body of a bee can hold 500,000 to 750,000 pollen grains. After brushing, there will still be more than 10,000 pollen grains on the bee body.

5. Italian bee: the weight of a bee egg is about 0.15 mg; the average weight of an egg-laying queen is 200-240 mg; the average weight of a worker bee is about 100 mg. The average birth weight of the queen bee is 180±12 mg: the average weight of the worker bees is about 90 mg; the average time is 13 mg for honey and 145 mg for powder. The average daily egg production of the Chinese queen bee is 600-900 eggs; the daily egg production of the Italian queen bee is 900-1500 eggs.

6. A standard nest card has about 3200 nest houses on one side and about 6500 nest houses on both sides. A full-framed spleen with a density of 90% has about 5900 bees after leaving the house. With a density of 80%, 80% of the full frame of a spleen, there are about 4700 bees after leaving the house.

7. The top speed of Mifeng flight can reach 40 kilometers per hour, and the speed of load flight is 20-24 kilometers per hour. The gathering activities of bees are mostly within 2 kilometers from the nest. Calculated by Italian bee, with a radius of 2 kilometers, the effective use area is within 18,000 mu. Bees consume about half a milligram of honey per kilometer.

8. During the breeding season, always keep a constant temperature of 34～35℃ in the hive. If there is no spleen in the honeycomb, the temperature of the honeycomb can generally vary between 14 and 32°C. The bee colony consumes the least feed at 20～25℃. At a temperature of 13°C, Italian bees will freeze; at a temperature of 10°C, Chinese bees will freeze. When the sub-brand is at 20 degrees, it will die after 11 days; at 25 degrees, it will die after 8 days; at 27 degrees, it can emerge into bees, but they all die immediately; at 30 degrees, they can all emerge into bees, but all Delayed by 4 days; at 35°C, all bees emerge in the normal period; at 37°C, the development period of worker bees is shortened by 3 days, but most of the wings are incomplete or die in the nest box. The relative humidity is 35-45%. Larvae development. The optimum relative humidity during the winter period is 75-80%.

9. In summer, the lifespan of Italian worker bees is about 40 days; the lifespan of Chinese worker bees is 40-50 days. In winter, Italian bees can live up to 160 to 180 days, and medium bees can last for 140 to 150 days. An overwintering worker bee has 1.12 fertile insects; a new bee in spring has 3.85 fertile insects. A worker bee occupies about 3 nest positions. Under normal circumstances, there are an average of 35 bees per 100 nest houses (equivalent to a 5×5 cm area nest card), that is, the ratio of nest houses to bees is close to 3:1. In the case of sufficient long-term honey sources, the natural life span of Xiongfeng can reach 3 to 4 months.

10. Freshly picked nectar has a water content of 50-55% and a sugar content of 45-50%; mature honey has a water content of 15-20% or less. From nectar with a water content of 55% to mature honey with a water content of less than 20%, it generally takes 4.5 to 5 days to brew. The pollen collected by bees contains more than 20% protein, 30% sugar and 20% fat. One collecting bee can collect 25 mg of water each time, and it can collect more than 50 water per day, with 400 water collecting bees. The daily water extraction volume can reach 0.5 kg.
