Method for breeding trichogramma population by using queen colony building cycle
By establishing a queen bee colony and reproducing the queen bee in a cyclical manner, screening and controlling queen bee egg-laying, and combining frozen pollen and sugar solution feed, the problem of queen bee not being able to be reused is solved, realizing the efficient breeding of small bee colonies and the optimized utilization of resources, which is suitable for small-area crop pollination and male bumblebee breeding.

AI Technical Summary
In existing bumblebee artificial breeding techniques, the queen bee cannot be reused, resulting in a large colony size that is not suitable for pollinating small-area crops, and serious waste of resources. There is a lack of technology for reusing queen bees and raising multiple small bee colonies from one queen.
The queen bee colony cyclic breeding method is adopted. By selecting active and healthy queen bees and their egg-laying, controlling the number of worker bees, and combining frozen pollen and sugar solution feed, the queen bee can be recycled and small bee colonies can be stably cultivated, which is suitable for the pollination needs of small-area crops.
It enables the recycling of queen bees, improves the efficiency of small bee colony breeding, reduces costs, adapts to small-area crop pollination and male bumblebee breeding, and enhances the economic value and application flexibility of bumblebee breeding.
