When do bees divide bees?

In fact, the division of bees is mainly in the spring and autumn, because in the spring and autumn, due to changes in temperature and environment, a large number of plants will bloom and secrete nectar. At this time, the number of young bees in the bee colony will greatly increase and honey will be more abundant. At this time, in order to continue to expand and develop, the bee colony will choose to divide bees, and only in this way can the colony really reproduce. This process has also been a habit of bees in nature for thousands of years.

Brief introduction to the classification of natural bees

Bees will not fly away directly after being separated naturally, and most of them will gather at the height of the original hive 100 meters. If they can't find a suitable new nest, they will fly away again and gather at a higher position than the first time. Whether the bee colony is stable or not depends on whether there is a queen bee in the bee colony. When there is a queen bee, the bee colony is stable, and there is a cavity formed by invagination below the bee colony. When there is no queen bee, the colony is unstable and even flies back to its original hive.

Bees belong to Hymenoptera, Apiidae. Bees are social insects, which are composed of queen bees, drones, worker bees and other individuals. There are many kinds of bees, including small bees, black bees, big bees, black bees, Sabah bees, Sulawesi bees, green slave bees, western bees, oriental bees and China bees. The first four species are wild bee species, which are distributed in Hainan, Guangxi and Yunnan in China. The latter two species include many subspecies, most of which are geographically isolated natural subspecies, and most of the artificially bred bee species are hybrids.
