Selection of Bee Colony
1. Purchase time: April to May in the north, when the bee colony is in the breeding period, the selection is relatively stable, and the external environment is good, and the breeding is easy to succeed.
2. Selection method: Observe at the gate of the nest. If the worker bees come in and out diligently, the bees that collect a large proportion of pollen are generally a good group of vigor. Open the box and check again. If the worker bees are quiet and not panicking, it means that they are docile; if the queen bee is large, thick, tall, wide, long and full in abdomen, densely covered with fluff, and lay eggs quickly and without panic, it means that the queen bee is young and strong. , Strong spawning power.
3. Arrangement of the bee colony: It depends on the size of the site, the number of beekeeping and the seasonal conditions. There are four arrangements: single-box arrangement, double-box arrangement, staggered arrangement, and three-box arrangement.
