How can bees spring quickly?

1. The best time
The best time for spring varies from place to place. The simple calculation is that the first local flood period is pushed forward by 60 days. This gives the colony two months to breed. In addition, the start time of spring propagation should be late rather than early, and too early spring propagation is easy to cause early death of wintering workers and "spring decline".
2. Heat preservation and cold prevention
It is necessary to strengthen the heat preservation and cold prevention of bee colonies during spring, especially the temperature in the early stage of spring is relatively low and unstable, and the swarm tendency of bee colonies is often weakened to varying degrees after wintering. At this time, if you do not do a good job of beehive insulation work is easy to freeze to death spleen. In serious cases, the workers may freeze to death, but they should not be over-insulated, and the internal temperature of the hive should not be hot or cold.
3. Check the swarm
Be sure to check the colony status carefully before the spring bloom begins. The contents of the inspection mainly include whether the bee colony has lost its king, how the size of the colony, whether there are diseases and pests, and whether the feed is sufficient. If there is an anomaly, it should be handled promptly and properly. For example, when the king is lost, it can re-intervene in the new king or merge into other royal colonies, and when the group is too weak, it can merge with other weak colonies to form a group and then spring.
4. Shake the bee tightly spleen
Before the spring bloom begins, the bee must shake the spleen to stimulate the queen bee to lay eggs. Bee shaking is generally carried out in the evening when the temperature is relatively stable, and the bees are fed a small amount of syrup or honey water first. After about 2 hours, the bees will be scattered with excitement and the temperature in the box will rise. At this time, all the bees can be shaken off in the hive, and only 1 nest spleen is selected in the hive, and all the excess nest spleen should be raised.
5. Reward feeding
During the spring breeding period, the bee colonies should be fed with reward, which can stimulate the queen bee to lay eggs and encourage the worker bees to feed the larvae, and the feed can be fed with dilute honey water or syrup. The specific operation is to feed a colony from the bottom of the tank every night, of which the first feeding can be slightly more, and then according to the number of bees and the size of the spawning circle.
6. Disease prevention and control
The most effective way to strengthen the prevention and control of pests and diseases during the spring bloom is to take advantage of the natural break of the fruit period before the spring bloom with drugs to control a nest insect (medium bee) or bee mite (bee mite), if there are diseases and pests in the spring bloom period, they should also be treated in time, once the outbreak of disease, the mild will affect the spring bloom of the swarm, and even cause the whole bee to fall ill.
