1. There are three basic conditions that must be met by artificial breeding.
For a bee colony, the artificial king must meet the following three mature conditions:
1. Requirements for populations:
First of all, the population of the king must be healthy and disease-free; when the king is raised, the worker bees need to build a royal platform, secrete royal jelly, and cultivate the queen bee; if the bee colony has a disease, then the worker bees do not have the energy and ability to take care of so many royal platforms, so there will be a lot of unsuccessful queen platforms, or breed a queen bee of poor quality.
If a group of bees has a share of bee fever, the whole bee colony will lose the enthusiasm to work, and it will not be able to ensure the effective care of Wangtai, nor can it provide due nutritional supplements to Wangtai, and in the end it will only lead to the failure of artificial king-breeding.
Thirdly, the population of the queen must be equipped with high-quality queen bees and worker bee colonies with strong working ability, and a good population can breed high-quality queen bees, which is a hard condition.
Finally, the population of the breeding king should have a certain "group potential", which is generally guaranteed to be 6-12 spleen bees, and the weak group is obviously not suitable for artificial breeding.
2. Requirements for the weather: the first is to ensure that there is no bad weather or abnormal weather, the second is to ensure that the temperature is suitable for the development of bees, and the third is to choose the best weather suitable for the development of bee colonies, for example, Hunan often chooses to rise in late spring.
3. Requirements for the source of honey powder: the outside world must have enough powder source to ensure the normal progress of artificial breeding, because artificial breeding is large-scale, and the bee colony needs to consume a lot of food to supplement nutrition, so artificial breeding must be carried out only when the powder source is sufficient, and it is really not possible to feed it.
The above are the three basic conditions that must be met by artificial breeding.
2. Precautions for artificial breeding:
There are three main steps in artificial breeding:
1. Do a good job of the Yuwang frame.
2. Make a wax bowl and glue the wax bowl on top of the Yuwang frame.
3. Transplants.
These three steps seem very simple, but there are still a lot of problems when you do it before you become proficient. For example, wax bowls are always broken when making wax bowls, wax bowls are always untidy, the spacing between wax bowls is not well controlled, the larvae are selected incorrectly when transplanting, larvae are always broken when transplanting, and so on.
Among these three steps, listen to the words of bees and introduce to you in detail the most important and most problematic step: insect migration. The specific practices and precautions of insect transplantation are:
1. The selected larvae must be small larvae within three days, ensure that the larvae have only eaten royal jelly and have not eaten pollen, and cannot choose the kind of large larvae that have eaten pollen for convenience, which will directly lead to poor quality of the bred queen bee. Studies have shown that the younger the insect age, the better the quality of the cultivated queen bee, if their own insect transplantation skills are very good, listen to the words of bees It is recommended that you choose egg transfer.
2. The professional tool we use is the insect transplantation needle, and it is best for two people to cooperate with each other in the process of insect transplantation, one is responsible for transplanting insects and the other is responsible for taking the frame and ensuring lighting. Each time the transplant is required to be done at one time, if there is a situation where the operation is repeated on a larva, you must pass the larva, because nine times out of ten this larva is injured by you.
The above is the method of artificial breeding and two major precautions, if you have more to add, please leave a message to share.
