Tidy up the nest spleen and add the spleen
Long-term continuous rainfall, when the weather is relatively poor, people will feel comfortable, but also become lazy, lazy, a lot of work will fall, first do more than sixty spleens, the weather is sunny good to check the spleen, tidy up the nest spleen on the can not manage the bee colony idle to do, the technical difficulty is not high, but very trivial and very important.
Homemade bee cages
When there is no bee cage, the bees come out with their hands, easy to hurt the bees, not clean and may lose the queen bee, the idea is to make a straw hat.
Use down to feel that this hat is good, it is very convenient to use, catch the bee swarm back, first of all to give it a larval spleen, the bee protector so generally will not run, the position who will put will not return to the bee, and it does the speed of the spleen is very fast, a day basically can do a complete spleen, all worker hive.
The bee colony and the flight group will smoke a lot of honey before leaving, and the bees will not sting people without stimulating it, and the hats do not have to be worn, and they can also hold it with their hands, which is very exciting.
Add a thermal insulation film
The beehive at the foot of the mountain was only basked in the sun at about nine o'clock in the morning, and when it came out, it was very large, until it went down the mountain at six o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature difference between day and night was large, and the hive under the sun gave it an insulating film.
The bee farm is finally open
The location of the bee farm has always been an ordinary mountain road, and I have been in the mountains for half a year, and I have the opportunity to build a road to the mountains, and the construction period is about 3 months.
Half a month was dug into a yellow mud road, the dirt road is the most afraid of rainy days, the weather in the second half of the year is sluggish, every three to five rain, the car can not drive up, the road is full of yellow mud, things all rely on manpower.
Starting in July, in November, the hibiscus flowers are finished. The transformation of a road is long, but finally it is time to dry on the road. This is one of the biggest changes in the bee farm of the year.
Stung by a horse bee
There are many obstacles to beekeeping, especially for novices, the problem is constantly challenging, and the harm of horse bees in summer and autumn is very serious, and a serious loss of seven or eight large groups in a row.
There is no medication, physical grasping, homemade wasp seduction bee bee, the effect is OK, the partition plate can be the bee in and out freely, the horse bee can not.
During the period was stung by the horse bee, the horse wasp is not like the bee needle on the barbs, the horse bee can repeatedly sting people, my middle finger was stung a little, the pain is very intense and bleeding, at that time I panicked, try to suck out the venom, the horse bee venom is alkaline, after coming back I wiped the wound with vinegar to combine its toxicity.
At that time, my fingers swelled up and my wrists could feel pain. In addition to vinegar, it is also mixed with hibiscus leaves and honey and then applied to the hands, which is basically painless in the afternoon and the swelling is reduced. Hibiscus leaves have the effect of reducing swelling and relieving pain and cooling blood, and the effect is really good.
20 years old honey
Our next door neighbors were two elderly people, whom I called Grandpa Bear. A long time ago, it was a teaching gentleman, or the old captain of the village, who went to their house to eat when the power was out of power and he couldn't cook. He took out a bottle of honey and said that it has been 20 years, the color is very dark, I tasted it without bad, I bought something to see the shelf life, I was really surprised!
Fish and cut flowers
Many fish in the river below listened to their locals say that the native fish a hundred dollars a pound, bought a few pairs of fishing nets, to try the water, the technology is not very good, under three cages, one night fish enough to eat a meal.
When living alone, you should always find some fun for yourself, in addition to touching the fish, but also find some flowers.
In September in the mountains, the temperature is very fast, and it feels like autumn is sudden, and it comes suddenly. I didn't have to go to the mountains and make a bouquet of flowers with dog tail grass as a decoration that looked good.
Honey harvest for the first time
After raising half a year and finally seeing the results, this time the big flow of honey, the development of the bee colony is also good, when the honey flow is appropriate to control the queen bee to give birth, leave the spleen to produce honey, take some when checking, feel good to raise for so long, and finally see the results.
By the end of October, nearly November, basically all the honey was taken, because the technical management was not in place, ten months down, the bee colony only had 182 boxes, most of them were about 5 spleens, less only 3 spleens were still relatively sufficient, and the strong ones had 8 spleens.
After taking the honey and cleaning it up on the mountain for more than a month, it is a complete year.
This year, has been investing, from the beginning there are many people ask me how to make money to realize, in fact, this problem I have thought, later, first talk about the beekeeping feelings, those beekeeping necessary conditions, water sources, transportation, honey sources... , many people understand, I am not teaching others to keep bees, just review the process of personal start-up bee farms, just talk about some of my own feelings.
The first is the placement of the beehive, the place where the box is placed should be flat and not placed on the slope. The road should be spacious and easy to manage, the surrounding should try to avoid weeds, it is best to have shade or trees, to avoid the beehive from being exposed,
This problem must be done well, otherwise it will be particularly troublesome in the future. Now the bee farm is surrounded by weeds taller than people, which is particularly troublesome, so the placement problem cannot be ignored. I cleaned up the side well, and the grass in the back is even crazier! I can move to him to put the roadside at a glance, there is shade, convenient management after the release. In fact, the dense point does not matter, the nest door is wrongly opened.
The second is the management problem, found that the problem bee colony to deal with in time can not be delayed or will become more and more serious, normal bee colony management should not be diligent, of course, in the time of bee fever should be diligent management, at that time if the improper management will be divided into bees will produce losses, bee colonies more to be reasonably arranged, so that it can be orderly.
The third is the mentality problem, at the beginning I did not understand at all, curiosity and positivity, everything is very fresh, strong initiative, a long time, numb, slowly lazy. At this time, the importance of recording the swarm and systematic management is reflected, and try not to do unnecessary things! Before a friend was willing to come with me to raise bees, but then was released pigeons, beekeeping this road only myself, often a person to do things will be very tired, easy to produce a negative slack mentality, although I know that it is not good, but sometimes it is really difficult to overcome, is the weakness of human nature.
In addition, the initial understanding of breeding, coupled with frequent stings, is commonplace, affecting the mentality, strengthening learning and strengthening protection is equally important.
