For modern beekeeping, artificial breeding can be said to have a pivotal role in our beekeeping industry, especially large-scale breeding of bees, it can be said that without artificial breeding technology, the control of bees in the whole field will encounter great difficulties.
Although the artificial king breeding technology is now very mature, even if the general personal bee farm as long as a little understanding of the basic operation, but for our new beekeeping friends or for us bee breeding is not very familiar with friends, artificial king breeding technology is still a more critical issue, it can be said that learned the artificial king breeding technology, our breeding bee technology will go further, and the distance to success will be much closer.
However, the world is no wonder, in the eyes of many friends artificial breeding king is indeed a standard to judge the "level" of many of our beekeepers' beekeeping technology, but many of our friends even if they will artificial breeding technology is never used, but strangely, our novice friends think that after learning beekeeping technology, breeding bees will be very simple This technology, but some very experienced beekeepers are not using, this does not use nothing, mainly not only did not use artificial king breeding technology, Bees also grow better than the average person.
If this is the case, we have to say that this is really a master. In fact, from the habits of bees, do not use artificial breeding technology, can breed bees well, bee tribe xiaobian believes that it is not impossible, under some special conditions, even if we do not use artificial breeding technology, in fact, breeding good bees is still possible, as long as we learn to master two methods.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the role of artificial fertility</h1>
Since modern people regard artificial breeding as so important, it is inevitable that this technology has a certain role in bee breeding, in fact, artificial breeding king can be developed to today by all large-scale farms, the main reason is that it is convenient for large-scale management, it seems that artificial breeding in the actual breeding of a lot of role, but in fact a lot of roles do not have to be artificial breeding king can be solved, because bees can cultivate their own queen, so from the role of artificial breeding king, The small editor of the bee tribe believes that the artificial breeding king has two main roles in actual breeding, one is to facilitate large-scale bee division, and the other is to facilitate large-scale replacement of the queen bee, let's take a specific look.
First: facilitate large-scale bee splitting
From the development of the bee breeding industry, the bee tribe Xiaobian believes that this should be a major reason, to today many of our friends breed bees have an idea, that is, when breeding bees, they hope that their bee farms can grow rapidly and develop rapidly, in fact, they want to achieve this purpose, the problem encountered by beekeepers in the past is that they cannot obtain a large number of queen bees in a short period of time, because bees can be artificially divided into bees, as long as we meet the conditions of having a large number of queen bees. We can divide a swarm into multiple swarms.
Although the queen bee naturally bred by the bees can also be used to expand the bee farm, but in this case, the queen of the bee, in fact, the time is uncontrollable, that is to say, we do not know when the queen will be produced in the bee colony, nor do we know when the queen will come out, it is obvious that this breeding method, these uncertainties will bring great difficulties to our large-scale bees, it can be said that it is "luck" to divide the bees.
Artificial breeding queen can determine the queen bee out of the room time, and according to the number of queens in the bee colony to breed queens, even the backup queen has also been bred, in this case, we can carry out large-scale bee division in a short period of time, which seems very simple, but it has a very significant significance for us to farm, so that we can manage the bee farm on a large scale and process.
Second: easy to replace the queen bee in batches
In the past, we did not understand the bees, thinking that the bees as long as there is a queen bee, but we are more and more careful to observe the bees, found that the bee colony is not only the queen of the bees, if we want us to breed bees to maximize the benefits, we also need bees not only to breed well, but also to produce more honey, under these needs, our older generation of beekeepers have found many problems with the queen bee.
For example, the queen bee needs a young, inferior queen bee can be judged, etc., one of the more important findings is that the queen bee will decline after she is old, the spawning power and the ability to carry the group will decline, which will have a huge impact on our bee reproduction and production of honey, the most interesting thing is that the beekeepers have observed the queen bee cultivated in different ways, and found that the bee self-bred queen can use the time and the time that the queen can be used by the artificial queen, which provides convenience for us to manually replace the queen bee.
Since no matter what kind of queen bee has an optimal application period, this leads to our queen must be replaced regularly to ensure that the honey production and reproduction in the colony are in the best conditions, and the best way to do this is to programmatically intervene in each colony, and then programmatically replace the queen in each colony.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > how to divide bees without artificial breeding? </h1>
Through the above introduction, it is not difficult to find that it seems that artificial breeding is still the key to modern breeding of bees, but it is true that some beekeeping masters in life do not use artificial breeding kings, so how do these beekeepers do it? In fact, the main thing is to know more about bees and use the habits of bees. The first is to use the natural queen bee platform, and the second is to use the emergency king platform.
First: Use the natural queen bee platform
As we have said above, the bees themselves will also cultivate the queen bee, when the queen does not go out, there will be a royal platform in the bee colony, and there will be different phenomena before and after the production of the royal platform, in the bee breeding we call this phenomenon called bee fever, the so-called beekeeper who can also cultivate the queen bee without cultivating the queen bee, in fact, is to use this characteristic of the bee.
When bees cultivate the queen bee platform, they are generally in the middle and late stages of the large honey source period, and the time range of each place is relatively fixed, and the bee colony changes the same, so experienced beekeepers can use this characteristic of the bee to artificially divide the bees after the bees cultivate the queen by themselves, avoiding the separation of the bees and obtaining the queen bee.
Second: Kyuzoodai
In addition to the bees will cultivate their own queen bee platform, if the queen bee is lost in the swarm, as long as there are female bee eggs or bee larvae under 3 days old in the swarm, the worker bees in the swarm can breed a new queen bee, and there is no queen bee in this swarm, which we can artificially control, that is, we can make the swarm produce a rapid king, the way is to eliminate the old queen in the swarm.
In fact, many of our beekeepers who can also breed queens without artificial breeding kings are basically using this method, but their experience is relatively rich, they know how to take care of an emergency king, and can observe whether the development of a bee colony is normal, and make improvements in time, so even if you do not use artificial breeding kings, you can accompany the breeding of emergency kings to divide bees.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the pros and cons of not using artificial parenting</h1>
In fact, we say that every new invention is to promote the progress of an industry, or to improve the efficiency of an industry, and the discovery of artificial Yuwang is also the truth, but it does not mean that each of us in each industry has a large enterprise or a large factory, and some individuals or enthusiasts are also doing the same thing as the enterprise, but the scale is not the same, so it is not possible to use artificial Yuwang under some conditions, but it is not suitable under other conditions, let's take a look at it separately.
First: Under what circumstances can artificial prophylaxis not be used?
Although the artificial breeding king says that there are many benefits, but it does not mean that we have to use whatever bee farm, we can look at it according to the specific situation, if we only have a group of bees, or just amateur breeding a few boxes to play, in fact, we can completely not use artificial breeding, because the purpose of our artificial breeding king is to produce a queen in batches, and generally even if it is a natural bee colony, there will be multiple royal platforms, and the emergency king can even appear more than 10, we do not need to compare the troublesome artificial queen, Moreover, artificial breeding of kings in the case of too small numbers of bee colonies does not necessarily lead to the formation of breeding colonies.
Second: In which cases can artificial prophylaxis be used?
In fact, to put it simply, in addition to our small amount of breeding, it is mentioned that batch breeding must use artificial breeding. Therefore, artificial breeding is suitable for our large-scale breeding of bee farms and experimental bee farms and bee enthusiasts.
(1) Large-scale bee farm: Large-scale bee farm This is easier to understand, just like the above, due to the large number of bees, whether it is a bee or a king, the use of this method is the best, a large number of queen bees can give us batch bees and change the king to provide protection.
(2) Experimental bee farm: since ancient times, the truth is often derived from practice, in the past there is a saying called what practice is the only criterion for checking the truth or what, it can be seen that our old predecessors have paid great attention to the combination of theory and practice, and what we call today's various beekeeping technologies, but also our beekeeping ancestors and researchers in the industry with a large number of experimental research, the future of the bee breeding industry will be more developed, perhaps there will be more convenient and fast technology than artificial king technology, and the premise of these new technologies, All under the premise that we continue to study and explore artificial fertility techniques.
(3) Bee lovers: the life of bees is full of magic, many of our friends actually like bees, the most important thing is that bees can also provide us with delicious food, so there are not many bee lovers, since they like bees, many friends will study the various lifestyles of bees, mentioning the lifestyle of bees, artificial breeding will become one of the projects that enthusiasts explore.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the sterile king's trick to keep good bees</h1>
Through the above introduction, we can find that without breeding the king can raise bees, mainly to use the natural division of bees, the royal bee platform and the emergency king platform, in fact, although these two ways are simple and fast, but both ways are drawbacks, and our so-called masters, just as far as possible to avoid the drawbacks of these two prevention and control methods, what are the specific ones? Let's take a look at each of them.
First: the use of natural royal bee platform needs to pay attention to the problem
If we are using the natural queen bee station to divide the bees, in fact, the main drawback of the natural queen bee table is that the time of generation is not certain, and the time of generation may be different, but we can control this time as much as possible, because the condition of the natural bee division of the bee is that the bees are more honey and crowded in the bee colony, this condition can be artificially created during the high-flow honey period, when the bee colony meets this condition, the worker bee naturally builds the royal platform, and what we need to pay attention to is to choose a high-quality bee colony as the honey colony. Remember the time when each queen bee colony is generated and change the queen in advance after the age of use reaches it, so as to ensure the high quality of our queen bee genes, and will not affect the development of the colony because of the age of the queen bee.
Second: the use of the emergency to build the king of the problems need to pay attention to
If we want to use the emergency king platform to divide the bees or replace the queen bee, in fact, the main problem here is that we want to ensure the quality of the emergency king platform, since we want to be high quality, we must first find the drawbacks of the emergency king platform. The emergency king is produced in the case of losing the queen in the bee colony, which leads to the loss of the queen bee in the bee colony, in fact, the order in the bee colony is not normal, and there is a congenital deficiency; followed by the emergency king is the worker bee colony to select some female bee eggs or bee larvae under 3 days old to cultivate the queen bee, from the perspective of queen bee breeding, the day age of the larvae is as small as possible, it is best to be the queen bee from the time of the bee egg.
So when we choose to make a king urgently, in addition to choosing a high-quality queen bee colony, we should also ensure that the bee colony is a strong group, there is plenty of honey, there are a large number of bee larvae and bee eggs in the bee colony, if there is a condition, we can separate the lower edge of the nest spleen with a bee egg when we kill the old king, so that the bee will build the royal platform along the location where the bee eggs are exposed, we just need to remember that the eggs hatch for 3 days, we will choose the royal platform from this area, and the quality will be improved. It is also in line with the biological characteristics of bees.
The above is today's bee tribe small editor to share with you about how to divide the bees without artificial breeding of the king of the whole content, we experienced friends may wish to share their own experience, welcome to leave comments below, like friends click to pay attention, we see tomorrow.
