How to shade bees in summer?

With the arrival of summer, the outdoor temperature gradually rises. After the beekeeper "regulates the spleen", he puts the beehive in a place where he can "shade the sun and cool down".

After the end of spring, the external honey source gradually decreased. At this time, there are more bees than spleen in the strong bee colony, and the sub-circle on the spleen of the hive in the strong bee colony expands well. Beekeepers can use the method of "restraining the strong and helping the weak" to lift the "covered spleen" from the strong bee colony to the weak bee colony, and at the same time lift the "uncovered spleen" from the weak bee colony to the strong bee colony, which can not only help the strong bee colony to reduce honey consumption, but also help the weak bee colony to supplement it.

With the arrival of summer, the temperature outside is gradually rising. At noon on a sunny day, the temperature in the hive is higher. In order to help bees "adjust the nest temperature", beekeepers can widen the distance between beehives and increase the "mobility" of air in beehives. When widening the distance between beehives, beekeepers will first move the beehives around to keep the distance between beehives at about 1.5 cm.

At the time of "late spring and early summer", the outside temperature rises gradually, so beekeepers can place their beehives in a cool place, with the beehives facing southwest to avoid direct sunlight at the beehives, which is beneficial to the collection of beehives. At the same time, when the worker bees in the hive "adjust the nest temperature", the worker bees need to collect more water, and the beekeeper can place a water feeding box at the door of the hive. On a sunny noon, the hive.
