Bee colony management is complex, how to improve management efficiency?

First, make plans and prepare sufficient means of production.

Picking flowers in four seasons, running around for a year, we should comprehensively sum up the gains and losses of one year and how to develop next year. How many bees to keep, how many bee tools, feed, bee medicine, existing quantity, and the quantity to be purchased. Make a purchase list, write down the varieties, specifications and quantities to be purchased at a glance, and buy according to the list.

For the organization of mating groups, it is necessary to prepare enough mating boxes in advance before the stop. Each box should have four or two queen platforms, which must be fixed and separated by partitions. Put two, open the front and back of the nest door, and hang playing cards of different colors at the door of the nest to identify the queen ant.

If the nest door is open in front, put one or two bricks in the middle to separate it. With this preparation, once the mating group is organized and the manual grouping operation is completed, the mature queen platform can be introduced the next day, which can be described as natural. If you don't make preparations first, you need to cut the table and introduce where to put it when the platform is mature. When the preparatory work is done, the operation will be faster and the efficiency will naturally improve.

Second, prioritize first, and then take your time.

The operation of bee colony management has a certain order. For example, releasing the queen bee is not about uncovering the big lid of the hive and releasing the queen bee hanging in the king's cage. Before that, there are really many things to do, such as the choice of date. There must be the first honey source 40 ~ 50 days after the queen bee is released. If the King is released in June 65438+1October 65438+February 10. The king must be released on a sunny day, and the temperature outside should not be too low. You should first look at the weather forecast and grasp the weather trend in the past 1 week or 10 days. You can't just set the date at 1 day. If it rains this day, it will have to be postponed.

At the same time, pay attention to the spleen when releasing the king, ensure that there are more bees than the spleen, and the number of bees must not be dispersed for spring reproduction. The "compacted" spleen should be properly kept, and the nest spleen should be disinfected when necessary. It is also necessary to combine the release of the king with the replacement of the nest and spleen nest box, and the replacement of the nest and spleen nest box should be disinfected in advance; If the bee mites were not completely treated last year, they should be treated several times during the feeding process. There is a reserve of bee medicine in the "bee medicine box", which can be taken on the day when the queen is released until the eggs laid by the queen bee are covered.

In order to spread the powder quickly for the first time, and then change it into aqueous solution or smoke, several operations are "combined" together, which greatly improves the management efficiency, that is to say, a lot of preparatory work should be done before the release of the king, so that the release of the king can be carried out in an orderly manner, otherwise, once the king is officially released, some work will be difficult to carry out.

Then there is pollen feeding, which is a basic operation and should be considered comprehensively. In spring breeding, how much should each group feed, the ratio of protein feed prepared artificially each time, and the weight of bean powder, pollen, water, honey and sugar. It should not be "matched" at will. What kind of matching ratio bees like best, with high nutritional value, should be well known.

Breastfeeding is like this, and other things are in an orderly way. For example, Holly is finished and the bee farm is about to be transferred, so we must be prepared for the transfer. First of all, we should confirm the honey source, contact the old landlord, consult the honey source growth, estimate the honey flow time, and finally finalize the transfer date.

Secondly, we should know the situation of bee colony, feed reserve, whether it is necessary to control mites before shipment, whether to shake out the honey stored in the nest (too much honey is not easy to carry, so shake it out gently before shipment), and whether the new king has mated successfully. To carry out the queen bee, we should finish all the things that should be done before transshipment, then fix the nest frame, and finally connect the flat box with the high box to welcome the arrival of transshipment day.

Distinguish between priorities, do the main first, then the secondary, do what is urgently needed first, and then do what can be delayed, so as to make the priorities clear and orderly.

Third, grasp the main work and obey the center.

Bee colony management should not be "a hammer in the east and a stick in the west" Penny should be led by the nose, not by the eyebrows and beard. For example, after the spring breeding, the bee colony comes up, and the relay box is added to the bee colony, and the bee farm is transferred to the rape field. From the early feeding to the production, the honey collection team should be organized to produce spring honey.

At the same time, it is still necessary to continue to expand reproduction, strengthen the potential of the group, and take raising the king as the center of this period. If this work is not done well, it will be difficult to eliminate the craze of bee separation, which will inevitably lead to a series of chain reactions, such as bees flying away, causing chaos; The emotion of separating bees is not contained, and the ability of collecting bees is reduced, which affects the yield of spring honey.

However, it is far from enough to control the bee-splitting fever by cutting the unmanned machine room and removing the cover of Laozi's spleen. When the queen bee is old, it is easy to produce the fever of bee distribution. Changing the old queen bee in time can control the bee distribution, so it is most important to raise the queen bee artificially in stages and batches. With the new queen bee, the mating group of Lao Tzu's spleen tissue will mature. After the new king successfully lays eggs, the heat of bee distribution can be completely eliminated, and there is no need to repeatedly cut the unmanned machine room, destroy the queen nature platform, transfer Lao Zi's spleen and expand the nest, and other work will be easy.

Fourth, plan ahead and deal with it calmly.

For example, shaking honey, strengthening the base and controlling bee fever, these things are together, which to do first. To shake honey, you must first prepare tools, hold a basin of water, touch the honey on your hands, wash it with water, and your hands will be refreshed immediately; Wear the upper net, clean the honey storage barrel to drain water, bring a scraper, light a cattail to smoke (drive away bees), the sun is strong, you can hold up a big umbrella and stand next to the beehive, and prepare the honey shaker and honey cutter.

When operating, check the queen bee before shaking the bee, and the queen bee's nest and spleen will not shake (honey is taken from the box without checking the king). After shaking the honey, if there is a natural queen's platform in the nest spleen, it will all be cut off, and all the unmanned computer rooms on the nest spleen will be cut off. Taking honey to remove the natural queen's desk and unmanned machine room is fast and efficient. The scale of the bee farm is not small, and so are the two queens, Cha Wang. It is very convenient to mark all the new queens that have successfully mated when breeding the king.

Sometimes, to check the double kings, put a long piece of wood on the upper beam of the sound insulation board, raise the sound insulation board and add an extra layer of isolation, which can prevent the queen bee from climbing by mistake and avoid the meeting of the two kings; Pay attention to the angle of the honey cutter when cutting the cover, so that the roof will remain flat and not uneven after cutting it off; Whether the added nest foundation should be placed in a flat box, next to the partition or between two frames depends on my long-term accumulated experience; When inserting the empty spleen, switch the nest spleen with the relay box and transfer the sealed old spleen to the relay box; In order to organize honey collection, it is necessary to restrict the queen bee from laying eggs, reduce the feeding work, and let the bees devote themselves to the honey collection work in order to obtain a bumper harvest.
