Perhaps influenced by various data, the idea of a bee colony and a king is deeply rooted in our minds, and seems to have become the default law in the minds of all beekeepers, but with the continuous growth of the beekeeping cause, the bees in a bee farm can often reach hundreds of boxes or even more, so a variety of phenomena have appeared, and the phenomena that seem to appear have completely subverted the theory, and a group of double kings is a phenomenon that is difficult for us to imagine, but this phenomenon does exist, and lucky friends may have seen it. So is it good to have a swarm of double kings? In bee farming, when does a group of double kings appear? Is a swarm of double kings normal? Presumably this is also a question that many of our beekeeper friends want to know, and today the bee tribe came to share with friends about the reason for the emergence of a group of double kings.
In the previous article, the bee tribe once introduced three kinds of natural king platforms to friends, namely the natural king platform, the alternating king platform, and the emergency king platform. For our artificial breeding of kings, there are also three kinds of wangtai, which are not for the transplant worm yuwangtai, the spleen yuwangtai, and the cutting room yuwangtai. For artificial breeding kings, we do not classify it as a group of multi-kings in the bee colony, after all, artificial breeding is our beekeeping friend who has a plan to breed the bee colony, I believe that no beekeeping friend will make a group of multi-king bee colonies, so we still blame this phenomenon on the natural king.
Let's first look at the natural royal platform, which is a bee colony in order to reproduce the phenomenon of bee division, this phenomenon is planned in a bee colony, here the bee tribe to explain, this phenomenon is still determined by the worker bees, although many friends blame the decision of this phenomenon with the queen bee. Here's why. Generally, the natural king platform is built five or six times at a time, and when the new queen bee is about to leave the house, the old queen bee will fly away with a part of the bees, leaving the natural king platform waiting for the room.
If we do not carry out manual removal, then after the first queen bee is introduced, the first thing the new queen will do after leaving the house is to destroy the other royal platforms, but there will be a situation here, that is, the worker bee guard, if the worker bee guard is successful, the queen bee will take away half of the bees, and then the second queen will come out, the same house destruction activity, if it fails, the queen bee takes away half of the bees, and so on. This is why there are continuous split bees in the middle of the bee.
For the rapid creation of the king platform. The emergency king platform is produced by the disappearance of the queen bee in an unexpected situation in a bee colony, which belongs to the accident, and the worker bee urgently builds the platform, so we call it the emergency king platform. Worker bees are also building several royal platforms, which is the same as the natural division of bees, and if we do not eliminate the excess royal platforms, there will also be multiple divisions of bees.
The last one is the alternating throne. Alternating queen bees in a colony due to the old queen bee disability or emergency is about to fail, the general number is 1 to 3, in the construction of the bee during the construction of the royal platform is normal, until the new queen out of the room after the end, the old queen and the new queen will live in harmony with the same colony for a period of time, and then die or disappear for other reasons. This is a difficult phenomenon to see, and it is also what we call the emergence of a group of double kings, and some of our lucky beekeeper friends have found it.
So is this swarm good or not? In the view of the bee tribe, this bee colony is not good, but it can not be said to be bad, this mainly depends on what reason the old queen is about to die, if it is caused by diseases and the like, then the quality of the eggs laid during the old queen bee's illness is certainly not normal, but if the old queen bee is affected by disabilities and the like, and the development is good, the alternating royal platform in this case is also good.
In some of our beekeeping data, the alternating wangtai is regarded as the worst of the three natural wangtai, in fact, this decision method can only be said to be decided from the probability, the natural wangtai is the best, but it is only said that the probability is the best, the probability of alternating the wangtai and the emergency wangtai can appear a good wangtai is also there, just to see whether we are willing to take risks, due to the development of artificial king breeding technology, many friends have not regarded the wangtai as so important, so even if there is a little risk, Our beekeeper friends won't try it either, it's not necessary. This is some of the little knowledge that the bee tribe shared with friends today about the appearance of two queens in a bee colony, what do you think about this problem?
