Once the strong swarms with bee fever are not properly handled, they cannot play the value of the strong swarms, and even bring a lot of losses to beekeepers. In response to bee-splitting fever, the measures we generally use are supplemented by treatment and prevention, and the best way is to prevent the emergence of bee-splitting fever. So what are the ways to prevent bee fever?
Listen to the bees and sort them out into the following 6 points:
First, choose a good beekeeping site.
Whether a site is beekeeping is easy to raise a strong group; if a site is not suitable for beekeeping, then it is easy to derive various problems, and bee fever is one of them. We often say: if the venue is well chosen, the income is good; if the venue is not selected well, the bee is white. The selection of beekeeping grounds follows the following points:
1, good air circulation, which is closely related to whether bees are prone to bee fever.
2. The surrounding honey source is abundant, which effectively improves the collection efficiency of bees.
3, no bad weather and external interference; such as strong air flow, irritating odor and so on.
Second, choose a good beehive.
If the hive is well selected, it is easy to raise a strong group; if the hive is not selected well, it is easy to divide the bees, and there may be a group of escapes. The principles of beehive selection are:
1, the material should be suitable for bees to live, avoid the use of compression board these materials to make beehives; generally use fir and pine materials.
2. Avoid irritating odors.
3. Avoid moisture.
4. Avoid cracks.
5, the use of standard boxes, do not use too small beehives. If you want a strong group, you naturally need a certain amount of beehive space to meet the habitation of bees, otherwise it may be easy to divide the bees.
Third, optimize bee species.
There are many species of bees, and some bees are easy to divide into bees, such as the Hainan Middle Bee. Some varieties are easy to breed strong groups. Therefore, in the selection, it is necessary to select the most suitable bee species according to the local climate and environment.
Remarks: Bee species are regionalized, and they tend to be strong in areas suitable for them, and often perform badly in areas that are not suitable.
Fourth, choose a good queen bee.
Good queen bees lay eggs quickly, the quality of eggs is high, the quality of the breeding workers is good, and the queen bees have strong ability, which effectively slows down the emergence of bee fever and raises a strong bee colony. How to choose a good queen bee? Generally, the following points should be done:
1. Replace the high-quality new queen bee in advance before the bee.
2. When encountering the queen bee's old age or injury, it should be replaced as soon as possible.
3, the bee is best to replace the queen bee at least once a year, meaning that the bee is also following the principle of shortening the king cycle according to the situation of the bee colony, and changing once every 1-2 years.
Fifth, manually divide the bees in advance to expand the number of bee colonies.
The emergence of bee bee fever is often the need for natural development and reproduction, for example, in the spring is the high incidence of bee bee fever, because bees have the need for self-development in this season, which is their habit; so there are often small groups of bee fever. Then in addition to the four points mentioned above, we can also choose to conform to the habits of bees, and in this period of easy bee fever, manual bee division is carried out in advance to expand the number of bees.
The commonly used method of the bee is the Lycope artificial bee division method; the bee only needs to use the larvae of the bee within three days, and the bee with the spleen can be realized, which is very convenient.
Sixth, increase the workload of bees.
Whether it is a bee or a person, it is easy to make some moths when idle. If a group of bees develops well and there is a situation of honey feet, the work enthusiasm of bees will drop sharply at this time, and the swarm will soon develop a bee fever mood.
The best way to avoid this bee-splitting fever is to keep them busy, and if there is no end to the work, the bees will not have time to think about the bee-splitting thing. The commonly used method is:
1. Take more honey. 2. Collect more powder. 3. Make the king and take the pulp.
