How winter bee colonies manage
After entering the winter, the outside temperature is no longer suitable for the bees to fly out of the box. If the temperature continues to fall, bee colonies will clump. The lower the temperature is, the more closely the groups will clump and the bees will begin to overwinter. Bees are a kind of "half-dormancy" insects. In the winter, the body needs to supplement the energy and the groups rub against each other to keep warm. The overwintering management and arrangement arrangement of the bee colony by the breeder is directly related to whether the bee colony can safely pass winter. There are generally two ways in which bees spend their winters in the north: wintering in the open air and wintering in the room. First, wintering in the open air 1. Adjust the swarm. To leave the bee colony with overwintering fodder, store the nests with honey and bee foods in different categories for emergency use, and withdraw the rest of the buns. 2. Packing beehives. In general, the local temperature of 0°C or less and when the earth is frozen, the beehive can begin to be packed. The bee colony should be placed in the middle of the beehive, and the gaps on both sides should be filled with insulation and covered with a thermal insulation pad. The cover of the beehive is no longer in use. Take it out and store it. According to the strength of the bee colony, the outside of the beehive is wrapped with plastic film and grasshoppers. It should be noted that the front of the beehive generally does not need to be wrapped, and it is not necessary to block the vents. 3. Prevent rat damage. The wintering of bees requires a stable environment to prevent animals from trampling and vibrating the beehives so that the bees do not spread over the winter. The bees consume a large amount of feed or fly out of the beehive and die outside, causing loss of the bee colony and failure of overwintering. In particular, to prevent the sneak attacks and infestations of rats and jaundice, a rat fence should be provided at the ventilation opening of the beehive. If the beehive has a flaw, it must be promptly repaired to prevent rats from entering. 4. Snow cover hives. Snowy weather should promptly clean the snow falling on the beehives to prevent the heavy snow from covering all the beehives, and blocking the ventilation holes to affect the gas exchange in the beehives, causing the bees to suffocate and die. It is also necessary to prevent the water from flowing into the beehive after the ice melts and causing the bees to suffer loss. If the package is soaked after melting snow, it should be replaced in time to ensure that the package is dry and warm. In addition, you should always check the beehive vents to remove the dead bees and waxes in time to ensure that the vent holes are clear. Second, indoor winter In areas where the honeybees live in winter, the local weather is generally bad. The safety of bees during the wintering period is threatened by the outside weather. For example, there are many bees and there is a shortage of overwintering sites, so it is a good idea to take the indoor winter. Indoor wintering bees are generally quiet and less irritated by external stimuli. The time is controlled when the outside air temperature has fallen below -10°C. The burglary bees are generally not filled with insulation. The indoor temperature is controlled at about 0°C and the humidity is controlled at about 60%. When the indoor temperature is too low, the feed honey in the beehive can easily crystallize, resulting in the inability of the bees to eat, and the high humidity can cause moldy nests within the beehive, resulting in the occurrence of bee diseases.
