Among all the bees, bees are considered to be a more docile one, due to the long contact with humans, bees have maintained a relatively close relationship with humans, not only can live in harmony with humans, but also provide humans with delicious honey.
If it is not a human, bees are not polite to other animals, what cats and dogs and other small animals, honey stung beyond recognition is not many, even if it is a large cow and horse animal, annoyed bees will not have good fruit to eat.
Although the relationship between us and the bees is relatively harmonious, but in fact, it is also based on our people to know more about the bees, if we in the process of breeding bees, the operation is rough, the position of the station is not right, the same may trigger a large-scale attack of the bees.
Friends who have farmed bees know that bees also have their own natural enemies, such as wasps, dragonflies, toads, etc., which are natural enemies of bees. In addition, in fact, bees have a relatively large natural enemy, that is, nest worms. Nest insects, also known as wax borers, cotton insects, etc., belong to one of the main enemies of Chinese bees, it can be said that they cause huge losses to the breeding of Chinese bees every year, and they are still the main enemies of Chinese bees until now.
Speaking of this, many of our friends have questions, why are Chinese bees that do not even pay attention to people and animals, why are they bitten by nest worms and run all over the mountain? So in fact, it is not an exaggeration at all, the Chinese bee does let the nest insect bite all over the mountain, saying that other animals are too big, and it is understandable to choose the timing, the nest insect is a small insect, but also directly in the nest spleen moth, which does not give the bee face, so what is the truth? It should be said that the bees cannot be blamed all.
Nest worms are actually the larvae of a moth, this moth is very fond of laying eggs in beeswax, and the honeycomb will produce detritus of beeswax, these detritus, usually at the bottom of the hive, and this position, the night moth is very easy to enter, the moth lays eggs in these debris, these eggs hatch, will become nest worms, and these small larvae will soon after hatching will crawl to the bee spleen, enter the bee spleen, moth bee larvae feces or old beeswax in the bee spleen, and finally lead to a large number of deaths of larvae in the swarm, The swarm grew weaker and weaker, and finally fled.
In fact, long-term endangered by nest insects, the bees also try their best to deal with nest insects, such as the middle bees have developed the habit of not liking the old spleen, mainly because the old spleen is easy to be parasitized by nest insects, especially when the bee spleen is parasitized by nest insects, the worker bees will also bite off the nest spleen parasitized by the nest insects, so that the nest insects are exposed and fall to the bottom of the hive.
It can be seen that the middle bee is not to deal with the harm of nest insects, but the nest insects are too cunning, and the measures taken by the middle bees have been difficult to save the bee colony from being harmed by nest insects. Speaking of this, many friends have doubts, since the nest worm is harmed from the upper spleen at the bottom of the hive, why not directly extinguish it when the spleen is on, and the defense ability of the bee is not very strong? I have to say that the carelessness of the bees here is a problem, and the beekeepers are also problematic.
If we pay attention to observation, we will find that wild bees usually exist for a long time, and domestic bees, if we do not deal with nest insects for more than a year, bees may not take long to let nest insects drive away, in fact, the reasons for this phenomenon are diverse, there are reasons for people, there are also reasons for bees, but from the perspective of wild bees suffering from nest insect harm, it is still mainly human reasons.
First: human causes
For human reasons, we can divide into two, one is lazy and the other is greedy.
As mentioned above, the nest worm moth eats the nest spleen, its "starting" position is in the nest spleen wax crumbs at the bottom of the hive, the adult worm of the nest worm belongs to the moth, the size is not small, it is impossible to directly lay eggs on the nest spleen, which is why the nest worm adult worm to lay eggs at the bottom of the hive, rather than directly lay eggs on the bee spleen, so as long as we destroy the conditions suitable for the nest worm adult worm to spawn in the hive, or destroy it when the nest worm has not grown up, naturally there is no nest worm upper spleen.
Even if the nest worm can be harmed by the spleen, but the bees will always defend, even if the nest worm's larva is small, it is always smaller than the bee mite, but the bee mite is also picked up by the bee, so the problem here is actually that the beekeeper is greedy, so that the bees in the bee colony are too sparse, resulting in the nest worm can enter the bee spleen from the gap, which is the problem of the beekeeper.
Second: the problem of bees
For the bees, the defense is indeed weak, even if the bee spleen is sparse, the bee has been endangered for a long time, but still has not found how the nest worm appears in the nest spleen, even if it is known to enter from the bottom of the hive, the bee's prevention of the moth is also too careless, and finally leads to the situation of being made to run around by the grown nest worm.
However, in general, wild bees suffer from nest insect harm is not as serious as domestic bees, which can only explain a problem, bees have a certain ability to prevent nest insects, and after artificial breeding, the prevention ability is greatly reduced, which can only show that the key to nest insect flooding is still in beekeepers.
