Beekeeping requires more bees, and if you want to develop a bee colony, beekeeping is a necessary means. Bees originally have the characteristics of natural bee division, but natural bee division has no certainty, can not be divided according to the wishes of beekeepers, and it is difficult to collect bees, and there will be trouble in escaping bees. Although the natural bee division has seasonality and has a certain law, in the actual beekeeping process, it is often expected that the natural bee will bee, the bee colony will not bee division, do not want to divide the bee, and frequently occur natural bee division. This will affect the development of the bee colony and increase the management hassle. Therefore, beekeepers want to take the bee division in their own hands, and the beekeeping and beekeeping technology has emerged.
Beekeeping and beekeeping technology is a necessary way to properly develop the bee colony, both to follow the habits of the bees and to divide the bees reasonably, but not to completely copy the natural bees. This requires beekeepers to use it flexibly according to the actual situation, so there are a variety of beekeeping methods. Which way of dividing the bees should be adopted, it is necessary to go with the flow and choose appropriately.

When starting to farm bees, most of the bees are separated by using natural bees. As long as the natural bee colony is taken back and put into the new hive bee barrel, the bee colony is easy to develop successfully, and each time the natural bee can increase the new bee colony, make good use of the natural bee, the bee colony development is very fast. When you want to grow a bee colony, it is the easiest and most effective way to make full use of natural bee splitting to add new ones. But real beekeepers can't fully expect natural bees to bee division, but to do artificial bee division before natural bee splitting.
When the honey powder is sufficient, the climate is suitable, and the bee colony is relatively strong, the worker bees will brew natural bees, and the phenomenon of bee fever will occur. At this time, the bee colony breeds more male bees pupae, and multiple natural king platforms appear, and after the natural king platform appears, the phenomenon of natural bee division will occur soon in the bee colony. If the natural bee colony is not found and recovered in time, the bee colony will lose a large number of labor bees, and the collection of bees is also a more troublesome thing. Therefore, after the bee colony has bee-splitting fever, do not wait for the natural bee division to occur, and perform artificial bee division before the natural bee division occurs. When beekeepers find that the bee colony has a natural royal platform and a stout and high-quality royal platform, they must carry out artificial bee division in time.
Artificial bees try to choose when the climate is warm, before the natural bees occur, which requires observing the state of the bee colony and the maturity of the wangtai to determine. Before the natural bee division, the enthusiasm of the worker bee collection and labor declines, the queen bee spawn will decline, when this sign is found, it is necessary to immediately carry out artificial bee division, regardless of the development of the wangtai, as long as the quality is good. If the bee colony works as usual, it is necessary to wait until the wangtai is ripe for artificial bee division. Wang Tai needs to be fed and cared for by worker bees before it is covered, and if it is not mature, it will affect the development of Wang Tai and reduce the quality of the queen bee. When the mature queen of the wangtai is about to leave the house, the worker bee will remove the lid wax on the top of the wangtai, revealing a yellow cocoon. It was found that the top of the wangtai turned yellow, and when the wangtai was relatively smooth, it was a mature wangtai.
When it is decided to carry out manual bee splitting, it is necessary to clean the hive bee barrel used in the bee colony in advance. When it is time to divide the bees, put the hive in a more hidden, safe and comfortable place. Then the bee spleen with the royal platform is carried into the hive, and the excess royal platform on the bee spleen is removed, leaving only the best quality wangtai. Then add one or two spleens and honey powder spleens, the sub-spleen and wangtai spleen are inside the beehive, and the honey powder spleen is placed on the outside and carefully placed. It is necessary to try to raise the lid spleen as large as possible, and the honey powder spleen should be sufficient, so that the sub-bee colony has a steady stream of young bees out of the room, and it is easy to succeed if there is sufficient honey powder to maintain development. After the hive is covered, the hive door should be adjusted to the minimum to prevent bee theft. Wait for about two days to check whether the queen bee is out of the room normally, and if the honey powder is enough, don't bother the bee colony anymore. If the return bee is serious, the bee colony is too weak, and it will fall into the spleen of the bee with many spleens. As long as the colony has the ability to take care of the larvae and take care of the queen, the new queen will be successful. About 10 days to check whether the queen of bees has crossed the tail to lay eggs, if there is no spawning, pay attention to whether the queen development is normal? Is there enough powder to eat? If the powder is insufficient, it is also necessary to fall into the powder spleen or be fed in an appropriate amount. Only when it is determined that the queen has laid eggs will the colony be successful.

When breeding a king, in order to improve the success rate of the new queen, in order to cultivate more new queens, beekeepers will use the excess queen platform to organize a cross-tail group. The cross-tail group is also composed of a sub-spleen and a honey powder spleen, because there is no old strong bee, the intervention of the wang tai is easy to accept, and the success rate of the new queen bee is high. Moreover, you can use the excess royal platform to cultivate more new queens. In this way, when the new queen fails to change the king, you can use the successful queen of the cross-tail group to intervene, and you can avoid the risk of failure to change the king. The organization of cross-tail groups is often used in the process of beekeeping. There are too many wangtai cultivated by artificial kings, or the natural wangtai is better, and it is necessary to organize cross-tail groups to cultivate more queen bees. If you don't want to add a new colony, after the queen of the cross-tailed colony lays eggs for about a month, you can intervene in other colonies, and the cross-tail colony will merge into other colonies. If you want to increase the new bee colony, as long as you keep the cross-tail colony and let the new queen lead the development of the bee colony, you have completed a split bee.
The method of organizing the cauldron group is similar to the above-mentioned use of natural bee branching, except that this time the fast-maturing royal platform is involved, without bringing its own spleen. Since it is The WangTai who directly intervenes, it is necessary to be careful not to collide and shake the Wangtai, and to intervene again when the Wangtai is about to mature. After placing the spleen into the hive, the wangtai is wrapped in a thin wire to the bottom, gently hanging between the two bee spleens, and the other single is hooked on the frame beam to prevent the wangtai from falling off. In this way, the royal platform is in the middle of the hive, which can get the protection of the worker bee, and also allow the entire bee group to be familiar with the royal platform, and the success rate of the new queen bee is higher.
After the cross-tail group has successfully organized the WangTai to intervene, it is easy to manage the sub-bee colony according to the method of managing the sub-bee colony mentioned in Section 1 above, and it is easy to intervene in the Wangtai. As long as the new queen bee successfully lays eggs and ensures that the honey powder is sufficient, the mating tail group can also develop rapidly.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > uses a large number of queens for manual bee division. In a box of multiple groups or groups of multiple kings, and when there is a storage queen, the queen bee is separated, brought into a new hive, and equipped with a full bee spleen, it becomes a sub-bee swarm. </h1>
Modern beekeeping should pay attention to the storage of queen bees, there will be more queens, and some also use a box of multi-group, or a group of multi-king breeding technology, which causes a large number of queens. Putting multiple queen bees in a hive will interfere with each other, affect the labor enthusiasm of worker bees, and also increase the trouble for beekeepers, and there is no need to operate this way without special reasons. But there are many queens, and it is easy to divide the bees. The queen bee has the ability to expand the colony and can lay eggs immediately, and it is easier to succeed in splitting the bee, and the colony will develop faster.
If there is a stored queen bee, when you want to divide the bees, you will bring the spleen and honey powder spleen into the new hive, and then intervene in the stored queen. As long as the queen bee is capable and careful to operate, the queen bee is easy to intervene successfully. As long as the swarm accepts the queen, it can develop quickly. If you carry out a box of multiple groups or a group of multiple kings, and you want to divide the bees, you can directly separate them. For a box of multiple colonies, the bee spleen led by a queen bee can be directly put into the new hive, so that the bee colony can restore the state of a group of beehives. In this way, the bee is divided, the queen bee is still her own bee colony, and it is easier to succeed in dividing the bees without worrying about the problems that the worker bees do not accept. The queen bee immediately began to adopt, the worker bees soon returned to orderly labor, and the development of the bee colony was faster.
If it is a group of multiple queens, it is necessary to find the queen bee seriously. A queen bee is carried into a new hive with a bee spleen, and then a spleen and a powdered spleen are added. Due to the reason of returning to the bee, the bee colony will be relatively weak, and it is necessary to mention the lid spleen and the honey powder spleen as much as possible. The proposed queen bee should also choose the high-quality one, so that the bee colony will not be too weak and can develop smoothly.
Well, the basic operation of beekeeping and beekeeping technology has been completed, which method should be used? This is based on the state of the swarm. When you want to divide the bees, if there is a natural royal platform, use the natural royal platform to divide the bees. The natural split bee has already happened, and it is completed once by retracting it and putting it in a new hive. If there is a surplus of royal platforms, the cross-tail colony is organized, and as long as the new queen is successful, it is a new colony that stays. When there are many queen bees, the spleen of the foot bee is divided into bees. The operation of the bee splitting technology is not difficult, the key is to choose correctly, pay attention to details, and try to ensure that the bee colony can survive and the new queen can succeed. The specific operation depends on the beekeeper's own exploration and flexible use.
