As the saying goes, "A good queen bee can top a thousand pounds of honey." Experienced veteran beekeepers are convinced and validate this truth. However, novice beekeepers often do not understand, and even have the idea of overturning this truth. In fact, the main thing is that novice beekeepers can't understand how a good queen bee can make the bee colony grow and help the beekeeper harvest more honey. Next, we will talk about the importance of a good queen bee.
First of all, we can find the importance of a queen bee from the structure of the bee colony. The society of the bees is somewhat similar to the imperial society of human beings. The most important thing in the imperial society is that the ability of the emperor's people, although the person who performs the affairs is not the emperor himself, but the powerful emperor can live in a high place, know the affairs of the world, sit in every square inch, and handle the affairs of the world. If the imperial society has poor imperial ability, the light will be the country's fortunes will regress, and the heavy will be broken.
The reason why bees will develop into an imperial society with the world's supremacy, from the perspective of biological evolution, is that the queen bee has particularity, uniqueness, and authoritarianism. Therefore, the queen bee is very important in the bee colony, and it can even be said that the quality queen bee is the most important in the bee colony. However, the lord of such an important group is often ignored by novice beekeepers, and it is no wonder that your bee colony is getting smaller and weaker.
Next, from the influence of the queen bee itself, we will talk about the importance of a good queen bee. The most important thing in the queen bee is the "queen bee pheromone", which is colorless and odorless, but can be received by bees. High-quality queen bees, the queen bee pheromones emitted by the body, are not only powerful, but also can control the bee colony and unite the bee colony. Another more important thing about high-quality queen bee pheromones is to make the colony more active and harder.
All the worker bees in the bee colony are the "children" born to the queen bee, and the genes of these children are inherited by the queen bee and the male bee, so the quality of the queen bee determines the quality of the worker bee. There are two stomachs in the bee's body, one of which is called a honey sac, which is a place where the bee temporarily stores nectar when it collects outside. The size of the honey sac determines the weight of each nectar collection by the bees, and also determines the distance that the bees collect back and forth every day. The larger the honey sac, the more nectar the bees can pack each time they collect, which can reduce the distance to transport nectar back and forth every day. The size of the honey sac depends on the genetic genes of the queen bee, so the quality of the queen, and even the size of the body, will directly affect the harvest of honey for beekeepers.
Minnan bee brother has studied bee species for so many years, and has also exchanged king breeding techniques with many beekeepers, and has also taught many people to breed bees. In this process, it was also found that many novice beekeepers, even old beekeepers, are reluctant to eliminate inferior, old or bad bee species, always thinking that the queen bee can still lay eggs, can also develop bee colonies, and can also be used. In fact, this is a big taboo for beekeeping, and beekeepers should completely change this concept. Beekeeping is to use the new king, good king, good species, in order to better develop the bee colony, in order to obtain greater harvest, but also to reduce the management of the bee colony by beekeepers.
