Introduction of wasp breeding technology

What are the breeding methods of wasps and how can we raise them well? The following is the wasp breeding technology I brought to you for your reference.

Bumblebee breeding technology feeding equipment

(1) bee cage. Made of wood or iron mesh, the volume is about 0.03 ~ 0.04 cubic meters, which makes it have enough room for activities.

(2) bee shed. The size depends on the number of collected beehives, and it can be used in large glass greenhouses, large factories or special beehives. The bee shed is supported by iron wood, and the bars and screens are used as fences. The total area is about 100 square meter and the height is 2 meters. Crops such as corn, soybean and cotton are planted in the shed, and a screen door is left on one side of the shed. Small plates filled with honey water, fruit, melon peel and other feeds should be hung in the shed, so that bees can feed and move freely after putting them in.

(3) beehives. Wood, side length 15 ~ 20 cm, with thin boards up and down. A hook is installed on the cover, a screen window is hung around it, and a valve is left on one side.

Feeding fruits, such as ripe apples and peaches; Vegetables with plenty of water; Molasses; Guapi, etc.

The key problems of feeding and managing wasps are: protecting female bees from overwintering safely in winter and guiding early nesting and multiple nesting in spring.

(1) acquisition. 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. Night time

Collected in the overwintering place of bee colony with insect-proof net and cultured in bee cage. Put 300 ~ 500 bees in each bee cage, cover them with black cloth, and put them in a dry, ventilated and undisturbed empty room to reduce activities and promote them to enter hibernation in advance. 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 to make it eat actively and postpone the dormancy period, which not only supplements nutrition, but also can safely 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.

(2) Feeding management. 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 everywhere in the shed in time, and the cage should be half open and half tied. In the bee shed, only artificial bee cages are suitable nesting places for shelter from the wind and rain, and bees naturally fly into the cages. 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 made of mushy fiber materials such as rotten wood and paper chewed by wasps, which are stuck on the handle of the nest and then slightly repaired. Therefore, rotten wood should be put in the bee shed, and some waste paper strips should be hung on the gauze on the wall of the shed 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 circumferential nest chambers on the side of 1 nest chamber below 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 10CM, and there are more than 100 adult bees. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the female bees stop laying eggs. When the pupa in the female bee is about to emerge, it is advisable to close the cage door to prevent the adult bee from leaving the nest. Take back the hive and turn it upside down when the bees are quiet at night. When the bees get up and leave the hive, take out the hive, take out the residual pupae that have not yet emerged, and hang them in a ventilated, dry, rodent-free and insect-free place to dry for medicinal use. Bee venom can also be extracted when the bee colony is vigorous, which has high medicinal value.

Resist the enemy's harm

There are many kinds of natural enemies of wasps, including insects, spiders, birds and mice, and diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms. The most serious damage to the hive is Lepidoptera's yellow-tailed nest moth, whose adults lay eggs on the hive at night and hatch larvae after 4 ~ 5 days. The larvae walked through the hive and bit the wasp larvae, which led to the disintegration of the hive. The wasp moth likes to move at night, while the wasp moves during the day and stays in the nest at night, so that the wasp moth can lay eggs on the hive without any worries. Once the nest moth invades the hive, it can kill a large number of wasps. To prevent nest moth, first, let wasps nest far away from the ground, because wasps in nature are generally more endangered by nest moth, and nests far away from the ground are lighter; Secondly, the wasps in the artificial feeding box should be closed every night within 2 ~ 3 days when the nest moth lays eggs, so as to prevent the nest moth from laying eggs in the hive. Larvae is easy to rot in high temperature and rainy season, and will soon get sick and die after infection. You can evacuate the hive and spray antibiotics on it with a sprayer to prevent it. In addition, there are crows, magpies, ants, spiders, geckos and other animals that harm wasps. When wintering in winter, mice will also bite groups of wasps, which needs to be guarded against.

"wasp breeding tutorial" collects wasps in the wintering area in clusters when they are not active at night, and puts them in bee cages made of iron nets or wood with enough room for activities. 1 cubic foot bee cage can hold 300 ~ 500 bees.

The bee cage is covered with black cloth and placed in a dry, ventilated and undisturbed empty room to control and reduce activities, promote its early hibernation and reduce the death caused by excessive consumption of nutrients in its body.

In order to prevent bees from being easily found after leaving the nest, they can also be harvested in the original nest in mid-September in advance and put into cages. Taking advantage of the upward habit of bees, ripe apples, peaches and wet vegetables are placed at the bottom of the cage as food.

When the temperature is high at noon, bask in the sun for 3 ~ 4 hours to make it move and eat. Although it has delayed the semi-hibernation period, it can still survive the winter safely due to nutritional supplements.

Prevention and control measures of wasps' reproductive harm The simple methods of using wasps to control pests are as follows:

Artificial overwintering: Due to the low overwintering survival rate of wasps in nature, in order to meet the needs of bee sources in the coming year, artificial assistance can increase the survival rate from less than 10% to 60-80%.

The method is as follows: When the temperature drops below 10℃ after autumn, when wasps in natural hives are ready to leave their nests for the winter, a large number of overwintering female bees are collected in wooden boxes with iron nets and net valves, and generally 500 bees can be put in 30 cubic centimeters. Cover the wooden box with a hood and put it in the empty room (don't light it). In this way, feeding some fruits and honey water can increase the physical strength of wasps. During the wintering period, wasps will pack things in wooden boxes to hibernate, and check 1 time for rodent damage every half month.

2. Build a nest and release bees: In the following spring, when the temperature rises to 3℃, the wasps begin to disperse, and honey water is fed at this time to help the bees recover their strength.

There are two ways to build a nest. One is to put bees directly into the ground. It is best to have places suitable for wasps to nest in the wild, such as trees and sheds, so that wasps will choose a place to nest. When the temperature is 7℃, bees begin to build nests. Because the number of artificial overwintering bees increases greatly, more nests will be built, which can naturally kill pests. Another method is to put scattered overwintering bees in greenhouses and bee sheds, and put a beehive with a valve inside, so that wasps can fly into it to build nests. When it is necessary to kill insects in the field, close the wooden box valve, and the bees can be moved to the field. There are 5 bees in Tian Fang per mu, and about 150 bees can kill insects. Wooden boxes can be nailed to wooden poles inserted in the ground and placed evenly in the ground. When the valve is opened, bees will start to move. This method is easy to use and move. Because bees take the nest as the activity center and the protected area is fixed, it is especially suitable for responsible fields.

Some hives built in nature are far away from farmland, and can be moved manually when necessary and put into the field. The method is to use a beehive with the valve open, quickly fasten and close the valve, that is, shovel the nest together with the bees into the hive, and then put another same beehive. The doors of the two boxes are opposite and open at the same time. Because bees have the habit of climbing up, at this time all bees climb into the upper hive and the nest falls into the lower wooden box. Then close the door of the wooden box with bees, then fix the nest in the top center of an empty box, and then put the box in.

3. Management: After the beehive is put into the field, always observe it. Generally, bees will grow normally, but sometimes they will be destroyed by natural enemies such as birds, or the larvae of bees will rot, and the yellow-tailed nest moth will destroy the hive and cause empty nests. At this time, it is necessary to replace the new hive in time. At the same time, pay attention to the spawning period of the local yellow-tailed nest moth, and close the hive door at night to avoid the harm of yellow-tailed nest moth laying eggs on the hive at night. Need attention; It means that when you are in the wild, you should avoid disturbing bees, making them fly around and sting people. When passing by the beehive, avoid people passing by the beehive. It's best not to wear white clothes.

After autumn, there will be one-half to one-third drones in the hive. When male and female mate, the fertilized female should be brought back in time for artificial overwintering for the next year's application. If the bees are not collected in time, they will leave the hive and go to the nature for the winter, which will reduce the survival rate of the winter and affect the next year.
