Know the habits of bees: Before breeding bees, you should fully understand their habits, so as to improve the success rate of breeding and ensure the quality of bee colonies. The choice of bee species depends on various factors such as local environment and conditions. For beginners, it is better to choose the Chinese bee with strong viability. Site selection: Choose the farm site according to the honey gathering distance, quiet environment, temperature and other factors, and pay attention to prevent enemy damage. Get the bee colony: find the location of the bee colony, understand the habits and then catch it.

First, how to raise bees

1, know the habits of bees

(1) Bee is a collective insect, which has different living habits from many common insects. Novices must fully understand their living habits when raising bees in order to improve the success rate. The reproduction technology of bees is usually based on their living habits.

(2) If you have a good understanding of its classification, it will be convenient for you to do a good job of management when bees divide bees and promote bees to divide bees naturally. Only in this way can the quality of the bee colony be guaranteed. Therefore, it is very important to understand the habits of beekeeping before it is convenient to manage after breeding.

Step 2 choose the kind of bees

(1) The selection of bee species is very important, and the quality of general bee species directly determines the success of breeding. At present, the main bee species in China are Italian bee and China bee, and the choice of bee species should be based on many factors such as local environment and conditions.

(2) If there are enough honey sources around, you can choose Italian bees. Pioneer, if the honey sources are scattered, then choose bees. For beginners, it is better to choose Chinese bees, because Chinese bees have stronger growth ability than Italian bees.

3. Location selection

(1) The choice of farm address is also very important. A suitable bee farm can save most of the beekeeping management. If it is a cultured bee, we must first understand their effective collection distance, which is generally within 3 kilometers centered on the hive.

(2) Bees like a quiet environment, so choose a quiet and warm area. Finally, we should pay attention to the prevention of bees, such as wasps and ants.

Step 4 get the bee colony

There are generally two ways, such as buying and catching wild bees. If you want to find a bee colony in the wild, you must first find the location of the bee colony, and it is appropriate to catch it after you have a full understanding of its habits. The location of wild bees can be known from water source, honey source, bee detection and other directions.

Second, how do novices pick bees for the first time

1, the first bee-picking method for novices

(1) When collecting bees, you should first prepare the empty hive and nest spleen, and spray some sugar water on the spleen, preferably honey, so that bees can easily get on the spleen. Then you can order some aromatherapy for the bees. If you can find the queen bee, you can directly arrest the queen bee and put it in the hive. Before long, bees will fly into the box.

(2) Some bees will fly out of the nest door if their own bees are not careful when distributing bees. At first, bees can't fly high or fast. You can collect bees in the old way, grab sand and sprinkle it on bees or splash water on them. After a while, bees will gather not far away.

2. Matters needing attention in beekeeping

Beekeeping needs to pay attention to weather changes, such as heavy rain and mudslides, and it needs to be prepared in advance to avoid the hive from being flooded. We must also control common pests and diseases. Generally, bees in China mainly master the control methods of nest insects, while Italian bees mainly master the control methods of bee mites.
