Worker bees lay eggs for 20 days. Do you know what to do?

Worker bees are also female bees developed from fertilized eggs. Although the reproductive organs are not as fully developed as the queen bee, in fact, worker bees also have certain reproductive ability, especially the phenomenon that worker bees lose the queen bee to lay eggs is very common. Let's see how to deal with worker bees laying eggs for 20 days!

First, leave the hive

Worker bees directly interfere with the queen bee after laying eggs for too long, and it is easy to be surrounded or killed by worker bees. Therefore, before the intervention of queen bees, the worker bees must be treated. The specific method is to move the hive 50 cm away from the original site and shake off the worker bees in the hive, and then put a new hive with a small amount of nest spleen in the original site, so that most of the treated worker bees that lay eggs will stay in the original site, while the worker bees that have not laid eggs will fly back to the new hive in the original site.

Second, deal with worker bees.

The spawning colony of worker bees is not easy to get involved in the new queen bee, so the worker bees that lay eggs should be treated separately from the worker bees. The specific method is to raise all the nests of the original hive at night, then close the nest door to let the laid worker bees starve for one night, and then open the nest door of the original hive in the morning to fly back to the new queen bee. After this treatment, the rejection of the new queen bee by the spawning population of worker bees will be greatly reduced.

Third, intervene in the new king.

When the queen bee was introduced, the spawning group of worker bees suggested to intervene in the new queen bee by indirectly introducing the queen bee. The specific operation is to put the queen bee into the queen bee introducer or queen cage, and then spray some honey water on the bee colony or queen bee to confuse the smell of the bee colony, and then release the new queen bee after the worker bees completely accept the new queen bee. This can not only effectively avoid the situation that worker bees surround the queen bee, but also rescue the queen bee in time when worker bees surround the queen bee.

Fourth, clean up bee eggs.

The spawning phenomenon of worker bees will disappear automatically after participating in the new queen bee. However, there are still many eggs laid by worker bees on the spleen of the original hive, which can be discarded or reused after treatment. The specific method is to pour some honey water or syrup into the hive of the original nest spleen, and then hand it over to a bee colony for self-treatment after the order of the worker bee spawning colony returns to normal. If these nests have sealed spleens, the roof of the house will be cut off with a knife.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) matters needing attention

1. The longer the worker bees lay eggs, the harder it is to introduce the king. If most worker bees have laid eggs, there is no need to introduce the king, but these worker bees can be dispersed and integrated into other bees after treatment.

2. The worker bees who lay eggs have a strong "hostility" to the new queen bee, so the spawning group of worker bees can't directly interfere with the new queen bee, otherwise it is easy for the worker bees who lay eggs to surround or bite the new queen bee.

3. When it comes to the new queen bee, it is necessary to strengthen the management of the spawning colony of worker bees, and at the same time, continue to reward and feed them to promote the rapid recovery of the colony. When conditions permit, it is necessary to transfer some of them from other bee colonies to cover the spleen.
