Feeding and management of bees
The purpose of bee feeding is to produce bee products and use bees to pollinate crops, fruit trees, flowers, etc. Beekeeping is a production enterprise that specializes in beekeeping, an integral part of agriculture. Beekeeping is also often used as an amateur pastime.
The annual management of the bee colony is mainly based on the season, climate, nectar source conditions and the living habits of the bees, taking appropriate technical measures to make the individual and colony of the bees develop and reproduce well, and can provide as much surplus as possible except for the consumption of the bees themselves. Bee products. In temperate regions, the queen bee stops laying eggs in winter, and the bee colony survives the winter by ingesting stored honey in the nest. For this reason, the aging queen bee must be replaced in early autumn and reward feeding (feeding with white syrup or honey juice, etc.) is required to encourage the queen bee to lay more eggs to strengthen the wintering bee colony, and at the same time retain enough food for the winter.
Spring and summer is the period when queen bees resume laying eggs and new bees replace old bees overwintering. At this time, the number of individual bees increases and the colony increases. It is also the main nectar-flowing period for nectar plants and the peak honey-gathering season for bees. When the main honey flow period comes, a king board must be added between the nest box and the next box to restrict the queen bee to lay eggs in the nest box, and put the egg worm spleen and the pupa spleen shortly covered in the nest box, empty The spleen and mature pupa spleen are put into the secondary box, so that the honey spleen is no longer mixed with bee larvae to facilitate honey storage and honey extraction; at the same time, the nest door and the bee path are enlarged to accelerate the evaporation of honey and reduce the bees. Honey making activities. When the spleen of the secondary box is filled with honey and part of it has been sealed and matured, honey can be harvested in a timely and appropriate amount on the premise of taking into account the needs of bee colony proliferation. In the annual management, it is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of bee predators, such as using pesticides to prevent and control bee mites in late autumn and early spring, and to prevent rodent damage in winter.
