Remedy for insufficient winter bee feed

During the wintering of the bee colony, there is a shortage of feed, and feeding the bee colony is a last resort. Why is it compelled to do so? The reason is that when feeding the bee colony, it is necessary to move the bee colony to move the spleen, which will alarm the bee colony, causing the bee to stir up the scatter, the nest temperature rises, the bee moves away from the spleen or flies out, and the bees not only take too much Eating honey and wasting feed, and also increasing the amount of feces in the belly of the bees, easily lead to the bee colony. To this end, we must base ourselves on the preparation work before the winter, reserve enough high-quality feed for the bee colony, and avoid the trouble or loss of feeding feed during the winter. If the overwinter bee colony is not enough, you can take the following methods to remedy:

In other honey honey spleen to fill the spleen before winter stock exchange down to fill the lack of feed bees best. Before the replacement, first take the honey spleen to the greenhouse above 15 °C for 24 hours, and wait until the temperature of the honey spleen increases with the room temperature and then switch into the bee colony. When changing the spleen, put the honey spleen into the partition near the position of the bee colony, and then gently move the excess empty spleen to the outside of the baffle near the bee colony, and let the bees return to the bee colony from the spleen.

If there is no irrigation Buwei honey spleen spleen reserve honey, honey may be heated to melt or mature parts sugar to 1 part water 2 heating a syrup, artificial irrigation spleen when 35 ℃ -40 ℃ to cool. When instilling the spleen, it should be poured into an oval shape according to the area where the bee colony occupies the spleen. After filling the honey spleen, do not immediately put it into the hive, temporarily put the honey spleen into the container, and when the honey spleen is no longer dripping down the honey, Put the honey spleen into the hive. When feeding, the extra empty spleen in the nest should be taken to the outside of the partition or withdrawn. On the basis of the dense number of bees, the amount of honey to be fed should be determined according to the group potential and the degree of lack of honey. The group is weak and less fed, and one can't feed too much.

A good system to sugar refining Buwei sugar refining sugar refining feeders filled the sugar refining integrally formed in the feeder. This kind of sugar refining feeder should be made by itself. It is shaped like a wooden frame feeder, slightly thicker than the nest spleen. On both sides, there is a horizontal gap of 1 cm wide from top to bottom every 2 cm, as a bee road. . The sugar refining between the gaps should be covered with soft paper dipped in wax to prevent moisture absorption. The waxy paper is not covered near the bee colony so that the bees can feed. The overwinter bee colony along the bee roads on both sides of the sugar refining feeder, after eating through the sugar, it goes deep into the bee path of the feeder and moves with the consumption of sugar. In addition, instead of using such a self-made feeder, the sugar refining can be wrapped in the stencil of the yarn or the gaze, and placed on the frame beam on the upper part of the bee to feed.

When feeding the bee colony during the winter, the wintering bee colony should temporarily raise the temperature of the wintering room to about 4 °C; the outdoor wintering bee colony should choose the weather with the highest temperature in the daytime above 2 °C, which is beneficial to the bee colony.
