My family has been beekeeping for decades and has met many beekeepers from all over the world. I saw that some people beekeepers made a fortune, and saw that some people hollowed out their minds but kept bees. Through the examples of these people's beekeeping, I have become more and more convinced that beekeeping should be kind and open-minded. Beekeeping technology is not particularly difficult, but some people are too smart to learn well. Only those who love bees and do things honestly can keep bees well.
Of course, beekeeping is to produce honey and earn income for yourself, but bees must not be used as a tool to make money. I only want the bees to work more, but the bees live and die, and the bees will harm themselves.
Some people start beekeeping and calculate how to make the worker bees work more. No matter how many bees there are, always want the queen bee to lay more eggs, more children, one queen is too little, but also two or even more. Regardless of whether the colony is developing or not, they are anxious to add a nest spleen, thinking that the nest spleen will produce more eggs for the queen bee. Always thinking that bees can go out of the nest to collect, the worker bees do not go out and think that they are lazy. After producing a little honey, I quickly took it out, thinking that the hive would be in a hurry to collect it without honey workers. Take all the honey powder out, then feed the syrup and artificial pollen, and exchange cheap artificial products for high-priced honey powder, thinking that this is smart... All these seemingly intelligent behaviors are actually behaviors that do not love bees, and the consequences of excessive squeezing of bees are that the bee colony cannot develop healthily, and eventually beekeeping fails.
Bees are the most industrious insects, and worker bees have been toiling all their lives for the development of the colony. As long as there are larvae to raise, the worker bees will work hard to pick flowers and make nectar, as long as the bee colony is in normal order, the worker bees will never be lazy. Each worker bee will do what the bee should do according to the needs and age of the bee colony, the genetic code and the queen bee pheromone and larval pheromone, and arrange the work bee to do things in life. After the bees are bred, they are not aware of the existence of beekeepers, and beekeepers cannot force worker bees to do more. Without considering the breeding ability of the bee colony, too much grooming will lead to premature exhaustion of the worker bees, and the young bees raised are weak, difficult to bear heavy labor, and are prone to disease. The increase in the amount of bee colonies can not develop, and it is easy to become extinct without disease resistance. The indiscriminate addition of the spleen makes it difficult for the worker bees to protect the spleen, and the nest environment is abnormal, resulting in the development of many diseases in the bee colony. Only want to work bees out of the nest to collect, the nursery worker bees are insufficient, the bee colony will also get sick. Exchanging white syrup for honey will shorten the life of worker bees, make the bee colony malnourished, easy to get sick, and eventually perish... Any way to calculate bees, in the end, it is still yourself.
In fact, beekeeping is very simple, as long as you understand the habits of bees, follow the development law of the bee colony, no matter at any time, try your best to make the bee colony live well, help the bee colony cope with unfavorable climatic conditions, let the worker bees reasonably care for the labor, the bee colony will naturally develop healthily. The more bees produce more honey, the more honey they naturally produce, and if you take out the honey that the bee colony can't eat, you can get a good reward.
Some people have not yet learned to keep bees, they have learned the method of beekeeping fraud, thinking that it is too difficult to produce honey, and only by counterfeiting can honey be sold. Beekeeping is a practical technique that must rely on years of exploration to succeed. In places where the honey powder source conditions are not good enough, it is impossible to have benefits from beekeeping. If you don't concentrate on beekeeping technology, it's impossible to make a fortune from fake honey. Any way of counterfeiting requires a cost, and the fake honey created is difficult to sell. Everyone is very wary of fake honey, and even the most clever method can only deceive for a while. If the bees are well raised, they can collect a large number of free nectar and brew high-quality honey, so that they can invest less and be more stable and reliable?
Beekeepers must take beekeeping honey production as their responsibility, any way of counterfeiting will eventually fail, only by insisting on raising good bees and producing good honey is the long-term solution, can we really make a fortune.
Beekeeping needs to take the bee colony to chase the flowers and honey, and each party must be kind to people. The road to beeing is full of hardships and risks, only sincere and kind to make more friends, will be less trouble and more happiness. Beekeeping is a long-term solution, and the bee products produced need to be sold, and they also need to win the trust of consumers by quality and word of mouth. Only by winning the trust of the public by virtue of character and quality can bee products sold smoothly.
Beekeeping depends on the sky to eat, no matter how good the beekeeping technology, honey source period encounters bad weather can not produce honey. God does not take care of it, and it is normal for beekeeping to lose money. As a beekeeper, you should accept the influence of abnormal weather and do not complain about the world. Don't even think about tossing bees or making up for it with counterfeiting. Any mistake will harm the swarm, and if the credibility is damaged, there will be no foothold in the future.
In fact, beekeeping is really a sweet career, if you really love bees, watching bees get busy is a happy thing. The honey source blossoms, shuttles between the flowers, smells the sweet smell of honey powder, and the heart is also sweet. Regardless of the gains and losses, the output of high-quality honey, to win the recognition of consumers, will also have a full sense of success. In doing so, although a beekeeper may not have much return, the feeling of happiness and happiness will not be less.
If you don't love bees, don't like bees, just want to make a fortune by fakes, and finally become a street rat, so that you won't make a profit, you won't have any feeling of happiness and happiness, is it a fool to do it?
