Friends who keep bees and bees will experience the occurrence of bee theft. After being stopped when the theft of bees is not serious, it will not cause serious losses to the bee colony, and as a case where the pirated bees are rampant, it will cause serious consequences and losses to the stolen bee colony.
As a bee robbery is already a serious occurrence of theft, how to be able to quickly and most effectively stop the method of stealing bees, I have introduced in detail many times before the use of iron screen windows to close the nest door, the iron screen window above the bee entrance is the fastest, the best effect of the anti-theft method, I will continue to report the above this fastest and most effective way to stop the theft of bees.
Through years of observation, I believe that the swarm that is easy to steal is mainly caused by the poor defense ability of bees at the nest gate. We beekeepers know that once there is bee theft, it is the best way to prevent bee theft by first narrowing the nest door. However, sometimes the nest door is closed smaller, as some bee colonies have poor anti-theft ability at the nest door, that is, the nest door is narrowed and it is still attacked to steal honey, which we beekeepers have personally experienced.
As a stolen bee colony, some of them are the cause of bee species, and the poor defense ability at the nest gate and the lack of aggression against the bees that come to seek theft are the main reasons for theft.
Because my recent bee wasp in this scene is very rampant, as the bee can not resist the attack of the bee, only by taking a 3.6cm meter diameter anti-theft device, can completely stop the bee attack into the theft of honey.
However, as a 3.6cm meter diameter anti-theft device, after all the sugar theft of the bee is stopped, the bee also completely returns to normal collection, but because the diameter of 3.6cm meters will affect the normal access of the collection of the bee, if it is replaced by a 4cm meter anti-theft device, it will still cause the bee to come to steal sugar.
But as part of this intractable and complex situation, I adopted the defensive capabilities of the cultivated bees at the nest gate. First install a 3.6cm meter anti-theft device on the nest door of the bee to prevent the bee from entering and stealing sugar, and after killing the bee who came to seek theft, it was placed in front of the nest door of the bee, because the bee was killed will not break free and fly away, do not use the live bee, the living will generally break free and fly away.
At this time, in front of the middle hive door, it will cause a large number of bees to besiege this dead bee, and it is the bee colony that is getting bigger and bigger, to besiege this dead bee, because the bee has no ability to resist and break free, only let these bees besiege, after a period of time, it may also be that the bee intentionally thinks that the bee is already the reason for the siege and death, and these bees will slowly disperse, dragging the already dead bees to the distance and throwing them away.
But don't just use one dead bee, use several dead bees in a row, and train in front of the door of the middle beehive, so that the middle bee can constantly besiege these dead bees. However, this method of enhancing the defense ability of the hive gate in the cultivation will greatly enhance the defense ability of the bees in the nest door for one or two days of uninterrupted training for a period of time.
After two days of uninterrupted training, this group of bees has enhanced its strong defensive aggression at the nest gate, and it is completely normal to replace the 4cm diameter anti-theft device. In the future, there will be some bees at the nest gate every day in front of the nest door to constantly patrol and defend, as long as the intentional bees go to seek theft, they will take off to attack this bee. Once a bee is caught by a bee at the door of the nest, there will be many bees out of the nest to form a bee colony, and the bees in the future will no longer be easily attacked by the bee to steal honey in the hive.
