Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the breeding of Chinese honeybees, and more particularly to a breeding apparatus and method for Chinese honeybee drones. Background Technology

[0002] A bee colony consists of three types of bees: the queen, worker bees, and drones. It exhibits a high degree of sociality and specialization. Worker bees perform all tasks except reproduction, the queen is solely responsible for laying eggs, and drones are only responsible for mating with virgin queens. The colony can control the proportion of these three types of bees at different times. Drones are not present year-round; they are only produced in large numbers during the breeding season. If there is ample nectar and pollen, a small number of drones that have not mated can survive in the colony. However, under harsh conditions, such as late autumn and winter, drones are often driven to death by worker bees, especially in the case of the Chinese honeybee. Although drones are seasonal members, the survival, reproduction, and development of the bee colony are inseparable from them. The timing and number of drones breeding within a colony are not determined by the beekeeper's wishes but are determined by the colony's own reproductive status, climate, nectar sources, and other factors. Over hundreds of millions of years of evolution, bee colonies have stabilized the environmental conditions for drone breeding, including season, colony strength, external temperature, food reserves, and nectar and pollen secretion from external plants. Increasing the number of drones for nursing will cause the colony to adjust the number of drones according to its nursing capacity. Even if a large number of drones emerge from their cells, they will be driven out of the hive to maintain the balance of the three types of bees in the colony.

[0003] However, in the breeding of Chinese honeybees, the cultivation of drones is of great significance. Compared with Western honeybees, Chinese honeybee drones produce less sperm, and the number of naturally occurring drones in the colony is insufficient to meet the needs of artificial insemination. Furthermore, Chinese honeybee drones are small, sensitive, easily driven out of the hive, difficult to collect sperm from, and have high sperm viscosity. Although there have been breakthroughs in artificial insemination technology, the lack of large-scale methods for cultivating breeding drones has resulted in a very slow process of selecting superior varieties of Chinese honeybees in my country, and no new artificially bred varieties of Chinese honeybees have yet been developed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a breeding device and method for large-scale and continuous breeding of Chinese honeybee drones.

[0005] The first objective of this invention is to provide a breeding device for Chinese honeybee drones, the technical solution of which is as follows:

[0006] A breeding device for Chinese honeybees drones includes a top-open hive and a lid for sealing the top of the hive. A vertical central post is located in the center of the hive. Slots A are axially arranged on all four sides of the central post. Vertical slots B are respectively located on the inner center of the four side panels of the hive. Removable baffles are arranged between opposite slots A and B, dividing the hive into four areas: A, B, C, and D. Each of the four areas has a hive entrance with different opening directions. Grooves for placing frame ears are provided at the top of each of the four areas. An adjuster is provided on each baffle, allowing the baffle to be in a closed state, a ventilated state, or a state where only worker bees can pass through.

[0007] The A, B, C, and D zones can accommodate at least three standard honeycomb frames. The barrier plate has strip-shaped perforations for worker bees to pass through. An adjustment plate is also slidably mounted on the barrier plate, with enclosed and gridded areas. The dimensions of the enclosed and gridded areas are the same as the dimensions of the strip-shaped perforations, and the grid holes in the gridded areas are smaller than the size of the worker bees.

[0008] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for breeding Chinese honeybee drones, using the breeding apparatus described above and following these steps:

[0009] Step 1: The bee colony lays drone combs and trains the bees to recognize the hive entrance by flying around.

[0010] Remove the four baffles and place a bee colony with 7 or more frames into the hive. Open the hive entrances in areas A, B, C, and D, close the hive lid, and allow the bees to recognize the hive. At the same time, place a drone frame in any area and use a frame-type egg limiter to restrict the queen bee from laying eggs on the drone frame. After 4 to 5 days, remove the frame-type egg limiter. This area is the first round of queen bee laying drone and worker bee eggs.

[0011] Step 2: Sectionalized Beekeeping

[0012] 22 days after the first step, the four barrier plates are inserted into the slots respectively to separate areas A, B, C and D.

[0013] In step one, the drones in the first round of queen bee laying drone and worker bee egg area are about to emerge from their cells, and this area becomes the first round of drone adult bee retention area. The two areas adjacent to the drone adult bee retention area are nursery areas, and the barrier between the nursery area and the drone adult bee retention area is sealed. The other area diagonally opposite the drone adult bee retention area is the second round of queen bee laying drone and worker bee egg area, and the barrier between the second round of queen bee laying drone and worker bee egg area and the nursery area is in a state where only worker bees can pass through.

[0014] In the second round of queen bee laying drone and worker bee egg area, place one drone comb, and leave the queen and one honey and pollen comb; leave worker bee egg and brood comb and honey and pollen comb in the nursery area; in the first round of adult drones, retain the drone brood comb, honey and pollen comb and worker bees on the comb that are about to emerge from the cells in step one, and move in a new queen cell (about 5 queen cells).

[0015] Step 3: Drones rotate to feed the bees

[0016] On the 8th day after the partitioning in step two, the queen bee is moved from the queen bee laying drone and worker bee egg area in step two to one of the nursery areas and a drone comb is placed there. This nursery area becomes the queen bee laying drone and worker bee egg area for the third round.

[0017] On the 2nd × 8th day after the partitioning in step two, the queen bee is moved from the area where she laid drone and worker eggs in the third round to another nursery area and a new drone comb is laid. This nursery area becomes the area where the queen bee lays drone and worker eggs in the fourth round.

[0018] On the 3rd × 8th day after the partitioning in step two, all drones in the first round of drone-adult bee retention area in step two have been extracted. The queen bee is moved from the fourth round of queen bee drone and worker bee egg-laying area to the first round of drone-adult bee retention area, and a drone comb is laid. This first round of drone-adult bee retention area becomes the fifth round of queen bee drone and worker bee egg-laying area. The partition between the fifth round of queen bee drone and worker bee egg-laying area and its adjacent non-drone-adult bee retention area is adjusted to allow worker bees to pass through. Drones in the second round of queen bee drone and worker bee egg-laying area will emerge from their cells 23 days after the queen bee has laid drone eggs. On the 24th day after the queen bee has laid drone eggs, the partition between the second round of queen bee drone and worker bee egg-laying area and its two adjacent areas is adjusted to a sealed state, and a new queen cell is moved into it. The bee path is adjusted to form the second round of drone-adult bee retention area, and drones are extracted for sperm collection.

[0019] Following this pattern, every 8 days after step two, the areas where the queen lays drone and worker bee eggs are rotated, with the rotation area being the area where adult drones have finished extracting the eggs. On the 3rd x 8th day after step two, the drone and adult bee retention area is rotated for the first time, and thereafter every 8 days, the drone and adult bee retention area is rotated, with the rotation area being the area where drones are about to emerge. It is ensured that the drone and adult bee retention area is sealed off from adjacent areas, while the other three areas are only accessible to worker bees.

[0020] Step four: During the overwintering period, two opposing barriers are removed, dividing the hive into two areas. The bee colony is then concentrated in one of these areas for overwintering until the following spring when breeding begins, at which point steps two and three are repeated.

[0021] In the aforementioned drone-adult bee conservation area, queen cells are removed every 6 days, and new queen cells are introduced every 10 days to replace the old ones. Drones in the drone-adult bee conservation area can be extracted for sperm collection 1-24 days after emergence, with the best sperm collection occurring from drones that have emerged 16-18 days prior. If sperm collection is required after 8 days, egg-laying rotation in that area can be suspended until all drones have been extracted; the suspension period is not counted in the rotation time.

[0022] Preferably, when there is a lack of external nectar and pollen, and a lack of nectar and pollen on the comb, nectar and pollen feed is provided every other day in the drone and queen bee retention area and the queen area in the hive.

[0023] Preferably, insulation boards are also provided in areas A, B, C, and D. Starting from the second day in step two, the empty combs in the four areas are adjusted according to the number of bees in areas A, B, C, and D, and excess empty combs are removed to ensure that the number of bees and combs in the four areas is proportional.

[0024] Because of the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0025] 1. The above methods can be used to efficiently breed Chinese honeybee drones without changing the habits of the honeybees, without detaining the queen, and without affecting the colony strength and reproduction rate.

[0026] 2. The Chinese honeybee drone breeding device of the present invention has a simple structure, is suitable for the breeding of Chinese honeybees in my country, and is compatible with the internationally used Langstroth standard box. The supporting Chinese honeybee drone breeding technology is consistent with the existing breeding and management technology, without adding too much extra labor cost.

[0027] 3. The method for breeding Chinese honeybee drones of the present invention can quickly breed (a batch every 8 days) a large number of high-quality Chinese honeybee drones. Furthermore, the method of breeding drones is not affected by factors such as season, colony strength, temperature, feed reserves, and external plant nectar secretion and pollen release, and they will not be driven out of the hive by worker bees.

[0032] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of the method for breeding Chinese honeybee drones in Example 1. Detailed Implementation

[0033] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. Rather, the embodiments of this application include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0034] Example 1: As Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment first provides a breeding device for Chinese honeybee drones, including a top-open hive box 1 and a box cover 2 for sealing the top of the hive box. A vertical central post 3 is provided in the center of the hive box, and the cross-section of the central post can be square or circular. Slots A are provided axially on all four sides of the central post, each slot A opposite to one of the four side plates of the hive box. Vertical slots B are respectively provided on the inner center of the four side plates of the hive box. A removable barrier plate 4 is provided between the opposing slots A and B, dividing the hive box into four areas: area A 5, area B 6, area C 7, and area D 8. In this embodiment, hive entrances 9 are provided facing areas A, B, C, and D, and the opening directions of the four hive entrances are different. In one embodiment of this invention, a horizontal slot C is provided on the bottom plate inside the nest box. The horizontal slot C connects the bottom of slots A and B, allowing the barrier plate to be inserted into slots A and B and then further inserted into slot A for fixation. Additionally, grooves for placing the ear flaps of the nest frame are provided at the top of areas A, B, C, and D.

[0035] As an alternative, in this embodiment, the hive is built according to the Langstroth standard hive, with external dimensions of 100 cm (length), 26 cm (height), and 40 cm (width may be greater) (width can be greater than 40 cm), and it can accommodate standard honeycomb in areas A, B, C, and D (at least 3 standard honeycomb can fit). If other beehives are used, the above dimensions will need to be changed, but it is sufficient to ensure that areas A, B, C, and D can accommodate honeycomb from other beehives.

[0036] In addition, the barrier plate in this embodiment is provided with an adjuster, which can adjust the barrier plate to a sealed state, a breathable state, and a state that allows worker bees to pass through. Specifically, the barrier plate is provided with a strip-shaped hole area 10 that allows only worker bees to pass through but not the queen bee (the spacing between the strip-shaped holes is 3.8-4mm). An adjusting plate 11 is also slidably provided on the barrier plate. The adjusting plate is provided with a closed area 12 and a grid area 13. The size of the closed area and the grid area is the same as that of the strip-shaped hole area. The grid holes in the grid area are smaller than the size of the worker bee. In this embodiment, the grid hole diameter is less than 3.5mm. In this embodiment, the upper and lower edges of the barrier plate are provided with sliding grooves. The adjusting plate can slide in the sliding grooves, and the adjusting plate is provided with outwardly protruding protrusions, which can be held by the operator for adjustment.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, based on the above-mentioned breeding device, this embodiment also provides a method for breeding male Chinese honeybees, which is carried out according to the following steps:

[0038] Step 1: The bee colony lays drone combs and trains the bees to recognize the hive entrance by flying around.

[0039] When using it for the first time, remove the four barrier boards (if the breeding device is installed on-site, the barrier boards are not installed). Place a bee colony with more than 7 frames into the hive box, open the hive entrances in areas A, B, C, and D, and close the box lid to allow the bees to recognize the hive.

[0040] Meanwhile, in any zone, a drone comb is placed and a frame-type production limiter is used to restrict the queen bee from laying eggs on the drone comb for 4-5 days. After that, the frame-type production limiter is removed. In this embodiment, the drone comb is placed in zone C, which becomes the first round of queen bee laying drone and worker bee eggs.

[0041] Step 2: Sectionalized Beekeeping

[0042] Twenty-two days after the first step, the four barrier plates are inserted into the slots to separate areas A, B, C, and D. The barrier plates between areas C and D, and between areas C and B, are adjusted to be sealed, ensuring that area C is not connected to other areas and preventing queen bee pheromones from entering area C. The barrier plates between areas A and D, and between areas A and B, are adjusted to allow only worker bees to pass through.

[0043] In this way, the capped drone brood combs (drone eggs and pupae are 23 days old), honey and pollen combs, and worker bees on the combs that are about to emerge from the cells in step one are retained in area C. A new queen cell (about 5 queen cells) is added, the bee path is adjusted, and the first round of drone adult bee retention area is formed.

[0044] In area A, leave the queen bee, and place one drone comb and one honey / pollen comb. Adjust the bee path to form the second round of queen bee laying drone and worker bee egg area.

[0045] In areas B and D, worker bee eggs and larvae combs and honey / pollen combs are left, and the bee paths are adjusted to form a nursery area.

[0046] The day after the partitioning is completed, adjust the empty combs in the four areas (A, B, C, and D) according to the number of bees. This can remove multiple empty combs and adjust the four areas to a bee-comb ratio.

[0047] Step 3: Drones rotate to feed the bees

[0048] Eight days after step two, the queen bee is moved from the area where she laid drone and worker eggs in the second round of step two to one of the nursery areas, and a drone comb is placed there. This nursery area then becomes the area where the queen bee lays drone and worker eggs in the third round. In this embodiment, the queen bee is moved from area A to area B, and a drone comb is placed in area B so that the queen bee lays drone eggs there. Therefore, area B is the area where the queen bee lays drone and worker eggs in the third round. At this time, the drones in area C, the drone-adult retention area of ​​the first round, have emerged for 8 days and are ready for sperm collection. If the drones in area C, the drone-adult retention area of ​​the first round, have been completely collected, the barriers between areas C and D, and between areas C and B, can be adjusted to a breathable state.

[0049] Sixteen days after step two, the queen bee is moved from the area where she laid drone and worker eggs in the third round to another nursery area, where a drone comb is placed. This nursery area becomes the area where the queen bee lays drone and worker eggs in the fourth round. In this embodiment, the queen bee is moved from area B to area D, and a drone comb is placed in area D so that the queen bee lays drone eggs in area D. Therefore, area D is the area where the queen bee lays drone and worker eggs in the fourth round. At this time, the drones in area C of the first round drone adult bee retention area have emerged for 16 days and can continue to be used for sperm collection. If the drones in area C of the first round drone adult bee retention area have been used up, the barriers between areas C and D, and between areas C and B, can be adjusted to a breathable state.

[0050] Twenty-four days after step two, the drones from the first round of drone-adult retention area C have been hatching for 24 days and have completed sperm collection, while the drone combs in the original area A are about to hatch. Therefore, the barriers between areas A and B, and between areas A and D, are adjusted to a sealed state to prevent queen pheromones from entering area A. Area A becomes the second round of drone-adult retention area, and a new queen cell rack (about 5 queen cells) is moved into area A. The queen is moved from area D to area C, and a drone comb is placed in area C so that the queen can lay drone eggs in area C. The barriers between areas C and D, and between areas C and B, are adjusted to allow worker bees to pass through. Area C becomes the fifth round of queen-adult drone and worker bee egg laying area.

[0051] Thus, the first round of drone sperm collection was completed within 24 days, and the process was repeated in the same order. This embodiment provides the following order for the second to fourth rounds of drone sperm collection:

[0052] The second round of drone sperm collection rotation:

[0053] From day 24 to 32 after step two, the drones in area A have emerged from their cells, and sperm can be collected during these 8 days. During these 8 days, the queen bee has also finished laying drone eggs in area C. Starting on day 32 after sperm collection and egg laying, the queen bee in area C is moved to area A, and a new drone comb is placed in area A. The barrier between area A and area D is adjusted to allow only worker bees to pass through. Area A becomes the sixth round of drone and worker bee egg-laying area. Meanwhile (day 32), the drones in area B are about to emerge (having laid eggs for 24 days). The barrier between area B and area C, and between area B and area A, is adjusted to a sealed state. Area B becomes the third round of drone and adult bee retention area, and a new queen cell rack (approximately 5 queen cells) is moved into area B.

[0054] The third round of drone sperm collection rotation:

[0055] From day 32 to 40 after step two, the drones in area B have emerged from their cells. During these 8 days, sperm can be collected, and the queen bee has finished laying drone eggs in area A. On day 40 after sperm collection and egg laying, the queen bee in area A is moved to area B, and a new drone comb is placed in area B. The barrier between areas B and C, and between areas B and A, is adjusted to allow only worker bees to pass through. Area B becomes the area for the seventh round of drone and worker bee egg laying. At this time (day 40), the drones in area D are about to emerge (having laid eggs for 24 days). The barrier between area D and area A, and between area D and area C, is adjusted to a sealed state. Area D becomes the area for the fourth round of drone and adult bee retention, and a new queen cell rack (approximately 5 queen cells) is moved into area D.

[0056] Fourth round of drone sperm collection rotation 8:

[0057] From day 32 to 48 after step two, the drones in area D have emerged and can be used for sperm collection during these 8 days. During these 8 days, the queen bee has also finished laying drone eggs in area B. On day 48 after sperm collection and egg laying, the queen bee in area B is moved to area D, and a new drone comb is placed in area D. The barrier between area D and area A is adjusted to allow only worker bees to pass through. Area D becomes the eighth round of queen bee drone and worker bee egg-laying area. At this time, the drones in area C are about to emerge (having laid eggs for 24 days). The barrier between area C and area D, and between area C and area B, is adjusted to a sealed state. Area C then becomes the fifth round of drone and adult bee retention area, and a new queen cell rack (approximately 5 queen cells) is moved into area C.

[0058] The fifth round of drone sperm collection rotation:

[0059] From day 48 to 56 after step two, the drones in area C have emerged and can be used for sperm collection during these 8 days. During these 8 days, the queen bee has also finished laying drone eggs in area D. Starting on day 56 after sperm collection and egg laying, the queen bee in area D is moved to area C, and a new drone comb is placed in area C. The barriers between areas C and B, and between areas C and D, are adjusted to allow worker bees to pass through. Area D becomes the ninth round of queen bee drone and worker bee egg-laying area. At this time, the drones in area A are about to emerge (having laid eggs for 24 days). The barriers between areas A and D, and between areas A and B, are adjusted to a sealed state. Area A then becomes the fifth round of drone and adult bee retention area, and a new queen cell rack (approximately 5 queen cells) is moved into area A.

[0060] ...

[0061] According to the above sequence, after the second round of drone sperm collection, drone sperm can be collected from one area (the drone-adult bee preservation area) every 8 days. The sperm collection time is exactly within the 8th day after the drones emerge from their cells. After the sperm collection is completed, the queen bee is moved to the same area to continue laying drone eggs. The sperm collection can begin 24 to 32 days after the queen bee lays drone eggs in the egg-laying area (i.e., within 8 days after the drones emerge from their cells). This means that the queen bee's egg-laying and nurturing time in the other three areas is exactly 4 × 8 days, or 32 days. Furthermore, after step two, the queen bee will rotate to a different area every 8 days to lay drones. That is, the area where the queen lays drone and worker bee eggs, and the drone / adult bee retention area, will both be rotated every 8 days. Worker bee combs will be placed in these areas simultaneously as needed to lay worker bee eggs. When two areas are respectively the queen laying drone and worker bee egg area and the drone / adult bee retention area, the other two areas automatically become nursery areas. Worker bee brood combs can be laid in these nursery areas, and each area must have honey and pollen combs. In this embodiment, the drone / adult bee retention area must be kept closed to prevent queen bee pheromones from entering. A new queen cell must be moved into the drone / adult bee retention area each time, replacing the previous queen cell every 8-10 days. Furthermore, the area where the queen lays drone and worker bee eggs and the nursery areas must be accessible to worker bees.

[0062] Since the drone / adult bee reserve area is rotated every 8 days in this embodiment, a new queen cell frame is placed in the new drone / adult bee reserve area each time it is rotated. If the rotation is more than once every 10 days, the queen cells in the drone / adult bee reserve area need to be replaced every 10 days, and the queen cells on the comb need to be removed every 6 days.

[0063] Furthermore, as another implementation of this embodiment, drones in the drone-adult bee conservation area can be extracted for sperm collection 1 to 24 days after emergence, with drones emerging 16 to 18 days being the best for sperm collection; if extraction exceeds 8 days, egg-laying rotation in this area can be suspended until all drones have been extracted, and the suspension time is not counted in the rotation time. During this period, queen cells in the drone-adult bee conservation area are removed every 6 days, and new queen cells are introduced every 10 days to replace the old ones.

[0064] Step four: During the overwintering period, two opposing barriers are removed, dividing the hive into two areas. The bee colony is then concentrated in one of these areas for overwintering, and steps two and three are repeated after the spring breeding season of the following year.

[0065] In this embodiment, insulation boards are also provided in areas A, B, C, and D, and the powder compact is positioned close to the insulation boards. The insulation boards are existing technology and were purchased externally; their specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0066] In this embodiment, on the second day after partitioning in step two, the empty combs in the four areas (A, B, C, and D) are adjusted according to the number of bees, removing excess empty combs to ensure a balanced distribution of bees and combs across the four areas. The term "balanced distribution of bees and combs" is a technical term referring to the ideal state where worker bees can evenly fill the combs, with approximately one bee occupying three cells. This is known to those skilled in the art. If external nectar and pollen are scarce, and the combs themselves lack nectar and pollen, nectar and pollen are supplemented every other day in the drone / adult bee retention area and the queen bee area within the hive.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail can be made to it without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.

And the following steps are carried out: Step one, male bee sperm production of a bee colony and nest door recognition flight training Four blocking plates are pulled out, a bee colony with a population of more than 7 sperms is put into the nest box, the nest doors of the A area, the B area, the C area and the D area are opened, the box cover is covered, the bees perform nest recognition flight, a male bee sperm is placed in any one area, a frame type production limiting device is used to limit the queen bee to lay eggs on the male bee sperm, the area is the first round of queen bee male bee production and worker bee egg area, and the frame type production limiting device is removed after 4-5 days; Step two, bee colony partition feeding After 22 days from the first step, the four blocking plates are inserted into the slots, so that the A area, the B area, the C area and the D area are separated; In step one, the first round of queen bee male bee production and worker bee egg area becomes a first round of male bee emergence retention area, two areas adjacent to the male bee emergence retention area are nursing areas, the blocking plate between the male bee emergence retention area and the nursing area is in a sealed state, and another area opposite to the male bee emergence retention area is a second round of queen bee male bee production and worker bee egg area, the blocking plate between the second round of queen bee male bee production and worker bee egg area and the nursing area is in a state of allowing only worker bees to pass through; A male bee sperm is placed in the second round of queen bee male bee production and worker bee egg area, a queen bee and a honey powder sperm are reserved, a worker bee egg worm sperm and a honey powder sperm are reserved in the nursing area, and a male bee sperm, a honey powder sperm and a worker bee on the sperm are reserved in the male bee emergence retention area, and a queen stand is newly moved in; Step three, male bee rotation nursing On the 1*8th day after step two, the queen bee is moved from the second round of queen bee male bee production and worker bee egg area in step two to one of the nursing areas and a male bee sperm is placed in the nursing area, and the nursing area becomes a third round of queen bee male bee production and worker bee egg area, On the 2x8th day after the second step, the queen bees are moved from the third round of queen bee drone producer and worker egg area to another feeding area and the next drone spleen, and the feeding area becomes the fourth round of queen bee drone producer and worker egg area, On the 3x8th day after the second step, the drones in the drone production area in the second step are all taken out, the queen bees are moved from the fourth round of queen bee drone producer and worker egg area to the first round of drone production area and the next drone spleen, the drone production area becomes the fifth round of queen bee drone producer and worker egg area, and the partition between the fifth round of queen bee drone producer and worker egg area and the adjacent non-drones production area is adjusted to a state only allowing worker bees to pass through; the drones in the second round of queen bee drone producer and worker egg area will successively leave the hive 23 days after the queen bee drone egg production is completed, the partition between the second round of queen bee drone producer and worker egg area and its adjacent two areas is adjusted to a sealed state 24 days after the queen bee drone egg production is completed, and new queen tables are moved in, the bee path is adjusted to form the second round of drone production area and the drones are taken out for sperm collection; By analogy, the queen bee drone producer and worker egg area is rotated every 8 days after the second step, the rotated area is the area where the drone production is completed; the drone production area is rotated for the first time 24 days after the second step, and the drone production area is rotated every 8 days thereafter, the rotated area is the area where the drones are about to leave the hive; and the drone production area and the adjacent area are in a sealed state, and the remaining three areas are in a state only allowing worker bees to pass through.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein: The queen table in the drone production area is removed every 6 days, and a new queen table is moved in every 10 days to replace the previous queen table.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the Apis cerana male bees are produced by the method comprising: In the third step, the drones in the drone production area leave the hive for 1-24 days and can be taken out for sperm collection; if the drones are taken out for more than 8 days, the rotation of this area can be suspended until the drones are taken out, and the suspension time is not included in the rotation time.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the Apis cerana male bees are produced by the method comprising: When there is a lack of external honey powder and honey powder on the nest spleen, honey powder feed is supplemented in the drone production area and the queen area in the nest box every 1 day.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein: The A area, the B area, the C area and the D area are also provided with heat preservation plates.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein: On the 2nd day after the second step, according to the number of bees in the A area, the B area, the C area and the D area, the empty spleens in the four areas are adjusted, and the excess empty spleens are removed to make the bee spleens in the four areas proportional.

7. The method for breeding Chinese honeybee drones as described in claim 1, characterized in that: It also includes a fourth step: during the wintering period, the two opposite partitions are removed, so that the nest box is divided into two areas, and the bee colony is concentrated in one area for wintering until the spring breeding the following year continues the second and third steps. It also includes a fourth step: during the wintering period, the two opposite partitions are removed, so that the nest box is divided into two areas, and the bee colony is concentrated in one area for wintering until the spring breeding the following year continues the second and third steps.
