Brief introduction of wasp

Hornets are also called "wasps", "ant bees" or "wasps". Insects that can sting people except bees and mosquitoes in HYMENOPTERA, and some insects that can't sting people in HYMENOPTERA _ wood bees, cedar bees and parasitic bees.

There are more than 5,000 known species in the world, and more than 200 recorded species in China, which are widely distributed in China. Hymenoptera, a member of the bee family, belongs to the needle tail 1 superfamily. The body wall of bees is thick, smooth and hairless. When resting, the front wings are folded vertically and the thorns are very strong. The insects of this superfamily are generally called wasps, commonly known as wasps. There are about 6.5438+0.5 million species in the world, and more than 5,000 species are known. China recorded 200 species. This is a carnivorous bee.

Honeycomb structure: The honeycombs built by wasps of Vespidae and Vespidae are made of paper, not beeswax. This is different from bees and other wasps.

Feeding management of wasps

The key problems of raising wasps are: protecting female bees in winter, safely wintering, and guiding early nesting and multiple nesting in spring. Every year from the end of September to the beginning of June in 5438+ 10, wasps begin to leave their nests and migrate to suitable places for the winter. This is the best time to collect swarms of bees.

At night, it is collected in the wintering ground of bees with insect-proof nets and cultured in bee cages. Put 300-500 bees in each hive, cover them with black cloth, and put them in a dry, ventilated and undisturbed room to reduce activities and promote early hibernation.

In order to prevent bees from being difficult to be found after leaving the nest, they can also be harvested in the original nest in mid-September and placed in cages or boxes. Using the upward habit of bees, ripe apples, peaches and vegetables with more water can be placed at the bottom of the cage. When the temperature is high at noon, bask in the sun for 3-4 hours, so that it can move and eat, postpone the dormancy period, supplement nutrition, and make it safe to overwinter.

The wasp is a semi-hibernating insect. When the temperature dropped to 5℃, it began to hug. The lower the temperature, the closer the group will be. When the temperature is slightly higher, the group will be loose; When the temperature is higher than 7℃, the population will disintegrate, and the survival rate after wintering is mainly related to the population quality. Therefore, it is necessary to check frequently during the wintering period, and 10- 15 should check the box cage 1 time. If scattered lumps are found, the temperature should be lowered in time and the shading layer should be thickened.

In the first ten days of March of the following year, the temperature rose above 65438 00℃, and the overwintering bees began to disperse and move on the cage wall. At this time, apples, molasses, sugar bags and other feeds should be put into artificial feeding immediately until mid-April, and after the bees in the cage flap their wings for a period of time, they can come out of the cage and return to natural nesting.

Artificial assisted nesting is to build a bee shed under natural conditions. When the spring temperature is constant at 65438 03℃, the overwintering wasps begin to disperse. They can move into the greenhouse at night, gently open the cage door or lid, and the wasps will fly in the shed in the future.

When the temperature is constant above 17℃, bees begin to nest and lay eggs, which should be observed at any time. When they see bees flying around and stopping on the top of the shed and the gauze around it, they should hang them in all parts of the shed in time, and the cage should be half open and half tied.

Because only the artificial bee cage in the beekeeping shed is the suitable nesting place for shelter from the wind and rain, the bees naturally fly into the cage. After a short adaptation, clean the nest base at the top of the cage with feet and mouthparts.

At this time, molasses should be added to the feed tray to help bees build a solid nest handle. Then the 1 nest room was established. The nest room is built by wasps bringing paste-like fiber materials such as rotten wood and paper chewed by mouthparts into the cage and sticking them on the nest handle. So put rotten wood in the bee shed and hang some waste paper strips on the screen of the shed wall for bees to use.

After theNo. 1 nest was built, the queen bee laid theNo. 1 short-handled bee eggs near the bottom wall of the nest. Before the bee eggs hatch, the queen bee will quickly connect the cylindrical nest chambers on the side of 1 nest chamber under the nest handle, and lay eggs while building them until the eggs hatch in turn. The queen bee lays eggs constantly, and at the same time undertakes the task of going out for food and feeding young bees.

With the continuous expansion of the nest, the number of young bees increases. Pay special attention to the supply of feed at this time. After five months of feeding and management, the diameter of the hive in the bee cage can reach more than 10 cm, and there are more than 100 adult bees. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the female bees stop laying eggs. When the pupae in the hive are about to emerge, it is advisable to close the cage door to prevent adult bees from leaving the nest.
