What you don't know is not shutting down the Internet for winter

Regardless of the king's overwintering, it actually means spring propagation in advance.

The premise of not turning off the king is: 1. Areas where the minimum temperature in winter is not lower than minus 8 degrees. 2. There are no big and small mites in the colony. Those who meet the above conditions don't need Guan Wang to flourish in advance. Here is how to manage spring propagation

(1) Early propagation at the right time to cultivate a strong group

1. Early spring propagation: Determine the early spring propagation time according to the strength of the swarm after the bee colony cuts off the mites and the natural climate conditions and honey flow period. The weak group within the 1-2 foot frame after the cut off the mites should start to multiply 80 days before the first flower source of rapeseed or the local nectar flow period, and it is more economical to multiply one generation earlier than to multiply bees in spring or buy bee supplements ,secure. One month before the beginning of spring, the weather was relatively normal. Weak swarms thrive early. Although they consume more feed for raising the weak swarms, they can reproduce into a satisfactory strong swarm and make big profits.

After the mites are killed by the mites, the group vigor of the 3-4 foot frames should be 70 days in advance, and the group vigor of the 5-6 feet after the mites are killed should be 60 days in advance. The colony can be reproduced for 45 days after breeding.

2. Tightening the spleen: Spring propagation and tightening of the spleen is an important measure to increase the degree of nurturing honey, stimulate queen bees to lay eggs, and increase the gentle heat preservation of the group. Before tightening the spleen, feed warm syrup for 2-3 nights, and add propolis liquid (1-2ml per group) to the syrup. When the spleen is tightened, it is directly replaced with a full artificial pollen spleen, and the thick syrup is continuously fed every evening. After tightening the spleen, release the king from the cage the next day, and kill the mites the next day.
