Bees: During the spring breeding period, every two beehives are placed side by side, and each group of bees are fed with sugar water (sucrose: water = 1: 1) or 250~300ml honey mixed with water. After 2 hours, when the bee is so excited that it will fall apart and the temperature in the box rises, the bee can be shaken to tighten its spleen. When the spleen is tense, only 1 spleen can be selected, and all the extra spleen can be raised, which can promote the queen bee to lay eggs quickly.
