How to find wild beehives

In order to find wild Chinese bees, we must understand their living habits and master their living rules. Generally, wild Chinese bees nest in places with good honey and pollen sources, and there are mostly clean water sources nearby for bees to collect. Looking for wild Chinese bees should be in places with rich honey powder sources, many miscellaneous flowers and long flowering period. If bees are found collecting water near the water source, the hive is nearby. It can be tracked in the direction where the water bee flies back. Chinese bees have many enemies, and most of their hives are hidden, so it is difficult for them to find them. Usually the location of the hive is sunny, dry, warm in winter and cool in summer, which can avoid sunshine and wind and rain. Although the nest door is not easy to find, it is convenient for bees to get in and out. Such as tree holes, caves, gaps in empty buildings, ancient tombs, etc. If you find bee droppings on rocks, leaves or grass, the hive is nearby. The denser the feces, the closer to the hive. The shape of feces is big at one end and small at the other, with the big end pointing in the direction of the nest door. In addition, to find wild Chinese bees, we can take advantage of the favorable opportunity of natural bee separation and bee colony flight. When the climate is mild and the external honey powder source is sufficient, bees tend to split naturally, and the bees flying out of the nest are concentrated in the air and gathered in a certain position, which is easy to be found. In some areas, in some seasons, due to the lack of honey powder source, or due to the attack of nest insects and enemies, the flying bees are often easily found because of the concentrated flight of bees.
