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 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.
Extended data Autumn is the peak of wasp breeding and the high incidence of wasp wounding. Doctor Chen also said that wasps are really easy to hurt people in autumn in northern China.
In spring, the individual number of wasps is in the recovery stage after wintering, and the number is generally small; In summer, there are a large number of wasps, and the bee colony is vigorous, but the vegetation and trees are lush, which is convenient for their nests to be hidden. At least, wasps feel that human beings have little interference and threat to them, and rarely take the initiative to attack people.
In addition, in summer, wasps have plenty of food (there are many other small insects outside), and their nest protection measures are also lax; In winter, wasps are in the wintering period and will completely stop their attendance activities in the north. It is difficult for the outside world to find traces of wasps, so naturally they will not be attacked.
In autumn, wasps are in the breeding season in autumn, and the external food is relatively scarce (the population of other small insects is declining). The wasp's vigilance has increased. In addition, in autumn in northern China, vegetation withers and trees fall, which makes the hornet's nest more exposed. This also makes the wasp more vigilant, and people and animals may be attacked if they are slightly close.
