Solutions to four major problems in summer farming:
1. To cool down the high temperature in summer, the placement of beehives must not be exposed to direct sunlight, and must be placed in a cool location, such as under a tall tree. If the breeding site environment does not have shade, you can choose to build a pergola for shade. In addition, a layer of empty boxes should be placed on the nest boxes, which can expand the size and speed up the air circulation to prevent the high temperature and sultry phenomenon of the beehives and the death of the colony. Drinking equipment can also be prevented in the beehive, allowing the bee colony to drink freely to achieve the purpose of cooling down.
2. Preventing poisoning. Summer is the stage of crop growth. At this time, pesticides are used very frequently, and bee colonies are prone to poisoning when collecting nectar, which leads to the death of bees in large numbers. At this time, it is necessary to control the exit of the bees to prevent them from being harmed. Once poisoning occurs, the poisonous honey should be removed in time, and then the diluted honey water should be fed. In addition, it can also be sprayed with medicament to achieve the effect of detoxification. Mix the detoxification medicament with honey water and spray it on the bees so that they can eat and drink with each other to achieve the purpose of detoxification.
3. Preventing bees from stealing bees refers to the scarcity of external sources of nectar and competition among bees. Summer is the season when nectar sources are scarce. Therefore, feed must be prepared to ensure that bees have enough food. Feed can be sugar and honey. Boiled. In addition, be sure not to sprinkle the honey juice outside the box when fetching honey and feeding. This will attract bees to steal the bees. If it is scattered outside the box, it must be completely cleaned up. The hives must be tight and there must be no cracks. It should not be too large, and the equipment that can cause bee stealing must be kept well.
4. Preventing escaped bees. Summer is also the main period for escaped bees. Generally, it is found that there are escaped bees and swarms of bees, which must be dealt with in time. You can cut half or two-thirds of the queen bee's forewings and add some honey. The spleen causes the love nest of the bee colony. When a small number of bees are found to escape, close the nest door in time and observe the situation. If some worker bees escape, the loss is less, but if the queen bee escapes, follow them. After the net is exhausted, it is brought back to the hive for frying wings and adjusting honey spleen.
