What problems should be paid attention to in different periods of bee colony management?

Bee colony management methods are different in different periods, which can be divided into four stages. Let's analyze the problems that should be paid attention to in different periods.

(1) spring

In spring, in order to promote the flight and excretion of bees and raise the temperature of the nest core, it is generally appropriate to use about 34℃, and there are enough honey powder sources or reward feeding. Open the bottle cap in time to keep warm, so as not to delay the flight and excretion of bees. After the bee is excreted, it enters the breeding period. It was artificially insulated at that time. Tighten the beehive and assemble it firmly. In the north, multiple groups are usually used in the same box to keep the inside and outside of the box warm until April and May.

(2) Summer

First of all, do a good job in the early stage adjustment, organize the honey gathering group well, and keep the strong honey gathering group. Control the queen bee to lay eggs, and limit the queen bee to be in a certain area of the nest box or use the queen board nest box. Five days before the big honey flow period, 1 ~ 2 pieces of spleen honey from the queen bee and the honey-collecting group were put into another group, and the honey-collecting group was lured into the mature king war the next day. For people who are too weak to collect honey, the yield of honey can be greatly improved. On the premise of adapting to honey gathering, create breeding conditions and supplement population vitality.

(3) Autumn

First, cultivate a new queen bee and replace the old with the new. Secondly, we should cultivate overwintering bees. In order to ensure the safety of bees in winter, it is necessary to control the birth of young bees born after the nectar circulation period to ensure the vitality of bees. The control method is to force the queen bee to stop laying eggs for a period of time during the flow of nectar. Finally, cut seeds in advance at the right time. In the late breeding period of overwintering bees, honey powder is taken to press the spleen, honey is poured twice, the queen bee production is stopped, and the bee colony is moved to a cold place, so that the bee diameter is doubled. Take the pollen spleen out of the beehive, take out the heat preservation material, and let the pollen spleen rupture as soon as possible.

(4) Winter

Adjust the door of the nest to 6 ~ 7mm, with a width of about 50 mm, and keep warm in cold weather. Put some wet cotton balls in the box to reduce ventilation. Because it is cold and early in the north, it is necessary to ensure that bees enter the hive before October of the lunar calendar. The distance between the hive and the wall is not less than 20 cm, and the distance between the hive and the ground is not less than 40 cm. Room temperature should be kept at about 65438 0℃, between 75% and 80%.

The above are different methods of bee colony management in different periods for your understanding, learning and reference, hoping to help you.
