How do wild bees catch the queen bee and when is it good to collect honey?

1. Bee-picking: If bees are in caves, you can first put a bee-picking tool at the door of the nest, and smoke it to drive the bees out of the nest and let them get into the bee-picking tool themselves. 2, find the queen bee: the queen bee is generally longer than the bee 1/3, the abdomen is relatively long, and the wings can only cover half of the abdomen. 3, control the queen bee: use the prison king cage to control the queen bee that climbs out. 4. Treatment of losing the king: If you lose the king, you can transfer the spleen of the egg worm and let the bee colony build a king platform to cultivate a new king.

First, how do wild bees catch the queen bee

1, collecting and catching bees

(1) If bees can be found directly in the wild, then the whole bee colony can be packed and transported away with a bee collecting tool.

(2) If the bee colony is in a cave or tree hole, you can generally put a bee collecting tool at the door of the nest, and then use smoke to drive the bee colony out of the nest and let it get into the bee collecting tool by itself.

Step 2 find the queen bee

There are 1 concave stomata at the bottom of a bee colony with a queen bee, and vice versa. Generally, queen bees are about 1/3 longer than bees, and their bellies are also longer, and their wings can only cover half of their bellies.

Step 3 control the queen bee

(1) When collecting and capturing the bee colony, you don't need to control the queen bee, just pack it with the bee colony and go home.

(2) When collecting bees in caves or tree holes, use cages to control the queen bee who climbs out. It is not recommended to catch the queen bee by hand, because too little power is easy to make the queen bee break free, while too much power is easy to crush the queen bee.

4, lost king processing

Generally, when collecting wild bees, there will also be the phenomenon of losing the queen. We can intervene 1 new queen bee in the bee colony in time, spray a proper amount of honey water on the queen bee and the bee colony to confuse the smell of the bee colony, and then put the queen bee on the periphery of the bee colony and let it slowly climb into the bee colony. You can also transfer some oomycetes and spleens so that bees can hastily establish a throne to cultivate a new king.

2. When can wild bees get honey?

1, honey taking time

Generally, wild bees can collect honey all year round, but it is better to collect honey in late spring and early summer or early autumn and early winter, because the yield of honey collected in late spring and early summer is higher, while the quality of honey collected in late autumn and early winter is higher, so the time of honey collection should be determined according to the actual situation.

2. Take honey.

(1) Smoke fumigation: firstly, smoke the bees with lighted dried wormwood to make them escape from the nest frame.

(2) Brush bees: Take out the nest frame and brush off the bees still attached to the nest frame with a bee brush.

(3) honey shaking: put the nest frame into the honey shaker, and shake the handle to throw the honey onto the barrel wall of the honey shaker to make it flow into the barrel.

(4) filtering: filtering honey with a strainer.
