How to raise bees?

Bee is a small bee insect, which often nests in grass or bushes. It is also a kind of artificial bee. So how do you raise bees? Let's have a look!

First, the basic introduction of bees

Bee is an insect belonging to the family Apidae and the genus Apis. Small size, also known as small hanging bees, small grass bees, small Artemisia bees and so on. Its main distribution areas are Nepal, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and so on. And there are also some areas in China where bees are cultivated.

Bees inhabit areas below 1 0,900 meters above sea level, and the annual average temperature is 15 ~ 22℃. Often nest in grass or bushes, and the environment is very hidden.

In southern Yunnan, bees usually start spawning in February and reach the peak in April-May. Spleen area can reach 600cm2, and colony potential can reach tens of thousands. From June to August, the temperature is high, the honey source is scarce, and the queen bee lays fewer eggs. September ~ 165438+ 10 is the second breeding period. From February 65438 to the following year 10, the breeding stopped when the temperature was low. At the end of February and the beginning of March, the cultivation of drones began, reaching 1/4 of the insect breeding area at most.

Second, how to raise small bees?

First of all, you need to choose a lot far away from factories, highways and residential areas for breeding, and there should be enough flowering plants in the breeding ground. Then choose the right hive, introduce high-quality bee seed resources, and then cultivate them in groups. In the breeding period, we should also pay attention to the subsidized feeding of bees, and artificially feed sugar water and pollen at night, which can improve the honey yield.

At present, there are two kinds of bees: one is Chinese bee, commonly known as Chinese bee. The main product of this kind of bee is honey, and there are few other kinds of bee products, but it is easier to raise in general mountainous areas. The other kind is Italian bees, commonly known as Italian bees, which are divided into sugar bees, pulp bees and syrup bees. You can choose the species of bees to breed according to the local climate and your own needs.
