Box used for bee mating and method for establishing bee queen-rearing colony

Abstract

The invention provides a box used for bee mating. The box comprises a box body provided with a hive entrance, a box cover, a queen excluder, a hive frame and a feeder, wherein the queen excluder, the hive frame and the feeder are arranged inside the box body, the volume of the box body is smaller than the volume of a bee box used for bee cultivation. A method for establishing a bee queen-rearing colony is suitable for the box used for bee mating with the volume smaller than that of the bee box. The method comprises the steps of dividing a bee colony into a plurality of mating colonies according to the principle that the number of bees is matched with the volume of the box used for bee mating, and placing the mating colonies into a plurality of boxes used for bee mating respectively. According to the box used for bee mating and the method for establishing the bee queen-rearing colony, the number of bees in the mating colonies can be reduced appropriately on the premise that mating and oviposition of a queen bee are guaranteed, so that the number of bees in the mating colonies adapts to the internal space of each box body, and then more mating colonies can be formed, more queen bees can be cultivated, the number of bees can be increased fast, and economic effectiveness can be improved for a bee keeper.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bee breeding, and more specifically relates to a box for bee mating. The invention also provides a method for establishing a bee breeding colony. Background technique [0002] Honey bees are social insect groups, and individual types with the same sex but different shapes, body structures, intelligence and behaviors in a bee group are called hierarchical differentiation. In honey bee biology, the class type refers to the two types of queen bee and worker bee that belong to the same female. The different levels of honeybee females are related to their main functions. The queen bee is responsible for laying eggs, and the worker bees are responsible for nursing larvae and supplying food, but they have no fertility. [0003] The queen bee is a female bee with fully developed reproductive organs developed from fertilized eggs, with diploid chromosomes, and is responsible for laying eggs in the bee colony. Bu...

But the volume of this kind of mating box is bigger, so this kind of nest box is used as the mating box of honeybee, according to the habit of honeybee, just needs more honeybee quantity to supplement the king colony, makes the honeybee quantity in each mating group It is relatively large, but under the premise that the total number of bees in the beekeeper is constant, the more the number of bees in each mating group, the smaller the number of mating groups will be formed, and the fewer queen bees will be cultivated, which is not conducive to The mass reproduction of bees affects the rapid expansion of the number of bee colonies and the output and quality of bee products, reducing the economic benefits of beekeepers
