A hive is a colony where they store, raise their children, and live in their homes. It is built by young worker bees secreting beeswax, but because of the use, the composition will change and different things will breed.
The hive breeds children, and every baby bee born will have a cocoon coat left on the hive wall. When the hive stores pollen, it will be impregnated with pollen components, stored honey will also have honey components, and may also have a little propolis royal jelly ingredient. The longer the hive is used, the more of these ingredients there are, and the higher its medicinal value will be. Therefore, the old nest spleen is good for people.
However, the bee spleen will not be good if it does not change to the bee for a long time. We all know that the queen bee likes to give birth on the new bee spleen, and the bee in the old nest spleen will also gnaw off, why is this? Because of the long-term use of the hive spleen, the nest room leaves too many layers of bee cocoon clothing, making the nest room space smaller, so that the young bees that grow out are also smaller and have a bad physique. The size of the nest limits the physique of the young bees, and the bees that the swarm hopes to breed are all robust, and out of instinct, the worker bees and the queen bee understand and know that the new hive is good.
The new hive not only makes the larvae robust, but also makes the colony less sick and pest-free. We know that nest worms, mites, etc. are also hatched from eggs, and they are also hatched in the hive room. These eggs are hidden in the nest and will hatch quickly when conditions are right, endangering the bee colony. Their growth cycle is shorter than that of bees and develops faster than that of bees, so they are prone to outbreaks. And the eggs of these pests prefer the old hive, which is more hidden and more conducive to their hatching. So old hives are more prone to nest worms, mite infestations.
Moreover, the pathogen virus also wants to invade the hive at all times, and the hive has the right temperature, has sufficient nutrients, and will breed as long as possible. Bees collect everywhere, it is easy to bring the germ virus back to the hive, the larva dies, but also allows the bacteria to breed to create conditions. However, honey has the effect of sterilization and anti-inflammatory, propolis sterilization and disinfection effect is also very good, and it is not easy for germs to breed.
However, it is difficult for bees to produce honey, nor propolis, so it is difficult to resist viral bacteria, it is easy to breed bee disease, those rotten diseases, cystic larval diseases, chalk disease, etc., all bee diseases are caused by the breeding of pathogens! The longer the bee spleen is used, the more germs it is contaminated with, and the more likely it is to erupt into pests and diseases.
All Chinese bee farmers should understand why they are harmed by nest insects and why they get bee disease. What a cause of nests and colonies! In the bee to keep the hive is new, change once or twice a year. Keep the bees dense and protect every corner of the hive, so that you can clean up the hive and make every larva grow healthily! Honey should be stored in the hive so that germs cannot breed. If bee disease occurs, feeding a nest of honey can kill the bacteria and treat the disease.
If the hive is only sparse with a few bees, and the hive room is dry without honey, those insect pests and diseases are easy to come. Keeping the hive clean and fresh, and making the bee colony dense and strong is the way to resist all pests and diseases. Relying on bee medicine, it is just a matter of making up for it, it is too late.
