Do you know what to pay attention to in bee farming?

   As for bee breeding and what conditions and precautions to meet, bees live in the wild and have certain requirements for the environment, while bees live in the environment, so there are also certain requirements for the environment. We want to raise bees well, and bees also have their own biological characteristics, so we also need breeding technology, so I think it can be divided into environmental conditions, bee conditions Beekeeping technology shall be carried out in three aspects.

environment condition

   In terms of environmental conditions, we can classify them in detail, including honey source conditions, climate conditions and nearby environment. Let's take a look at the requirements of these three conditions respectively.

   First: honey source conditions

   Because bees need to live in places with many honey sources, one is to eat, the other is to store and feed young bees, so this condition is considered important by the bee tribe. As far as honey sources are concerned, the bee tribe believes that there should be at least two big honey sources and rich small honey sources in a year. Under the conditions that these two conditions are met, the problem of honey sources can be basically solved.

   Second: climatic conditions

   In fact, bees are more suitable for living in places that are neither hot nor cold. However, it is difficult to find such places because of the great climate difference in China. Therefore, from the perspective of climate conditions, we mainly choose places with short winters and mild climates throughout the year. It is better not to spend more than a month or two in winter, otherwise it is more demanding for our beekeepers.

   Third: Nearby environment

   The surrounding environment includes whether the water source is clean, whether there is pollution such as factories, whether there is molasses factory nearby, whether the bee farm is on the mountain of the mine, whether the magnetic field of some mines is large, which affects the positioning of bees, and whether there are places under high-voltage lines and so on, which are not suitable for raising bees. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the placement of bees, and follow the habits of bees.

Bee conditions

   From the perspective of bee conditions, the bee tribe divides these conditions into two categories, mainly including bee species and excellent and benign bees.

   First: bee species

   Because the honeybees raised now mainly include Chinese honeybees and Western honeybees, and the honeybees in different regions also have different habits, the bee products produced by different bee species are not completely the same. So when we are preparing for beekeeping, we should also pay attention to the selection of bee species, and determine whether our local conditions are suitable for breeding a certain kind of bee species, and whether they are suitable for chasing flowers for honey. In fact, the bee tribe thinks that it is mainly considered whether they are suitable for chasing flowers for honey. 

   If the climate is good, and the conditions for chasing flowers for honey are also available, it is better to breed Italian bees, and if they are only cultivated in a certain place, it is better to breed Chinese bees. From the perspective of bee habits, it is recommended to use local bee species, which is more suitable for the local climate conditions. If we choose Italian bee, we'd better make a preliminary survey of Italian bee. After all, it is an exotic bee species, and not every region is suitable for breeding, and not all beekeepers have the conditions to pursue flowers and obtain honey.

   Second: the excellent characteristics of bees

   From the perspective of the excellent characteristics of bees, because there are bee species that are directionally bred in breeding farms, such as hybrid species with strong honey gathering ability and strong pulp production ability, we can see whether they are suitable for the directional hybrid queen bee bred in some breeding farms according to the local climate conditions, or they can be bred through long-term breeding in the process of their own breeding.

Breeding technology

   As for the breeding technology, the bee tribe thinks that the key technologies to master include feeding technology, king rearing technology, bee separation technology, clustering technology, prevention and control technology of common bee diseases and pests, autumn breeding technology, winter breeding technology, spring breeding technology, and summer breeding technology. If we can master these technologies and keep learning, we will soon have a more systematic understanding of bee breeding, In order to designate their own effective and feasible breeding plan, so as to embark on the road of beekeeping.

matters needing attention

   As far as precautions are concerned, the bee tribe believes that feeding, gluttony and blind treatment are the key aspects. Some friends believe that bees do not need to be fed, and they do not feed even in the honey shortage period, leading to the death of bees; Greed is also a common phenomenon in beekeeping. Some friends keep dividing bees, which leads to the colony becoming weaker and weaker. Finally, only a few bees remain, and the colony suffers from various pests and diseases. Finally, the breeding fails; Blind treatment is also a serious problem in bee breeding. Some friends can use drugs at will and in large quantities as long as they see some changes in bees, but the specific reasons are not clear. At last, it is a very simple problem to treat all bees alive. There are many people around the bee tribe, especially Italian bees. Some friends treat all bees in the whole bee farm at one time and kill all bees at one time.
