AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the prior art, Italian bees are susceptible to bee mites, and chemical drugs are not effective in preventing and controlling bee products, which affects the quality of bee products. Bees develop drug resistance to drugs, resulting in a decline in bee colony health and yield.

Method used

The double king group beehive is used for mixed feeding of Chinese and Italian bees, and the adjustable king partition plate and bee colony smell reduction solution are used to gradually mix the smell of Chinese and Italian bees, promote pheromone exchange and reduce drug use.

Benefits of technology

Improve the mite resistance of Italian bee colonies, reduce the risk of Chinese bees infecting nests, improve bee health, enhance the temperature regulation ability of bee colonies, reduce chemical residues, and achieve long-term production results of the two kings in the same group.

Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of bee breeding, and particularly relates to a method for mixed feeding of Italian bees and Chinese bees. The method for mixed feeding of Italian bees and Chinese bees comprises the following steps: S1: Raise the Italian bee colony at one side position of a double-queen colony beehive; S2: After 2 to 3 days, transfer the Chinese bees into the beehive and raise them at the other side position, and an adjustable queen excluder is installed in the middle of the beehive to separate the two bee colonies; S3: Open both nest entrances, and both bee colonies can freely enter and exit their respective nest entrances, recognize the hive, and collect; S4: After raising for a period of time, adjust the aperture of the queen excluder to 0.2 cm and spray a bee colony odor reduction liquid; S5: After 3 to 5 days, adjust the aperture of the queen excluder to 0.38 cm; S6: After a period of time, remove the escape prevention piece on the nest entrance of the Chinese bee colony to make it more free for the Chinese bees to enter and exit; S7: Add a super in the season with sufficient honey and pollen sources. The present invention provides a method for mixed feeding of Italian bees and Chinese bees, which can not only improve the mite resistance of the Italian bee colony, but also reduce the risk of the Chinese bee colony being infected with wax moths.
