Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of honey bee breeding, and more particularly to the field of egg-laying capacity of honey bee colonies. Background Art

[0002] Chinese honey bee ( Apis cerana cerana Chinese bees (hereinafter referred to as "Chinese bees") are a unique bee germplasm resource in my country. They are resistant to low temperatures, resistant to wasps, and good at using sporadic honey and pollen sources. The honey they produce has a strong floral fragrance and delicate taste, and is deeply loved by consumers. However, due to its low egg-laying ability and good swarming, it is difficult to cultivate and maintain a strong colony with conventional breeding. Therefore, most Chinese bee breeders only raise Chinese bees as a sideline. In order to increase the reproduction rate of the bee colony, it is necessary to improve the egg-laying ability of the bee colony. The main factors affecting the egg-laying ability of the bee colony include bee species, queen quality, queen mating quality, queen age, weather, and nectar source. When a series of factors are difficult to improve, improving the queen index (the number of queens per unit worker bee) is currently the most effective way to improve the egg-laying ability of the bee colony. In other words, if all the eggs laid by the queen bee in a bee colony can be normally fed, then as the number of eggs laid by the queen bee per unit time increases, the reproduction rate of the bee colony will accelerate, the colony will become stronger, and the collecting bees will be cultivated faster, ultimately improving the productivity and disease resistance of the bee colony.

[0003] Under the condition of a certain egg-laying capacity of the queen bee, the more queen bees there are in the bee colony, the greater the number of eggs laid per unit time. However, in the natural state, bees are highly social insects, and more than two healthy queen bees cannot exist in the same hive for a long time. They survive and develop as a group consisting of a queen bee, tens of thousands of worker bees, and thousands of drones that only appear during the breeding season. The queen bee is the only female bee in the bee colony with fully developed reproductive organs. Its main function is to lay eggs and maintain the order of the bee colony. The queen bee can directly affect the reproduction and production of the bee colony by laying eggs and secreting pheromones. The queen bee will never tolerate the existence of other healthy queen bees in the bee colony. If it meets other queen bees, they will kill each other until only one queen bee is left. Therefore, in addition to the alternation of mother and daughter in the bee colony, there is only one healthy queen bee in a bee colony. In addition, the queen bee pheromone in the bee colony is continuously emitted by the queen bee, and the smell is basically stable. The worker bees also determine the state of the queen bee through this smell, and then work in an orderly manner. However, if the queen bee in the original colony is directly replaced, the Chinese bees will immediately surround and kill the queen bee. Therefore, when changing the queen in production, the queen bee must be locked up for several hours using a queen attractor and can only be released after the worker bees accept it.

[0004] If you want to raise two queen bees in production, you can only use a gate or a vertical queen excluder (also called a queen excluder) to separate the beehive into two areas where the queen bees cannot communicate with each other but the worker bees can communicate with each other. Apis melliferaThe double-queen colony rearing technology of Western bees (abbreviated as Western bees) is very mature, and the use of double-queen colony rearing in the same box in production can achieve higher economic benefits.

[0005] In the production of Chinese honey bees, there are also examples of directly referring to the double-king group rearing technology of Western honey bees to form double-king group rearing. A queen excluder is set in the middle of the standard beehive, which divides the beehive into two breeding areas, with one queen bee in each breeding area, and worker bees can move freely through the queen excluder. When the bee colony develops to a certain group strength, the super is stacked on the standard beehive, and the standard beehive and the super are separated by a flat queen excluder. However, when using this technology to rear Chinese honey bees with double queen groups, there is often a phenomenon of inconsistent group strength on both sides of the bee colony, and the bee colony is biased to the side of the strong king. It is easy to lose a weaker king if the bee is biased for a long time, and finally only the strong king is left to lay eggs, and the purpose of double queen reproduction cannot be achieved for a long time. Therefore, Chinese honey bees cannot be used for a long time in production by directly referring to the Western honey bee technology for double queen group rearing. The main reasons for this result include the following three points. First, the biological learning of Chinese honey bees is different from that of Western honey bees, and the components of the most important queen pheromone, the queen mandibular gland pheromone (QMP), are also different. The QMP of the Western honey bee contains five components, namely trans-9-oxo-2-decenoic acid (9-ODA), trans-9-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (-9-HDA), cis-9-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (+9-HDA), methyl parahydroxybenzoate (HOB) and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylethanol (HVA), while the QMP of the Chinese honey bee only contains 9-ODA, +9-HDA, -9-HDA and HOB. 4 components, does not contain HVA; second, the interactions and social behaviors between queens and queens, and between worker bees and queens in a double-queen colony of Chinese honeybees are more complicated. Worker bees of Chinese honeybees are very sensitive to queen pheromones. When they spend a long time on one side and suddenly go to the other side, they will sense the inconsistency of queen pheromones and may attack the queen on the other side, resulting in the failure of forming a double-queen colony; third, the beehives used for raising double-queen colonies are basically the Lang's standard beehives used by Western honeybees. This beehive has been very successful in raising Western honeybees to form double-queen colonies, but the egg-laying ability of Chinese honeybees is much lower than that of Western honeybees. It is not in line with the biological learning ability of Chinese honeybees to use it directly in the formation of double-queen colonies of Chinese honeybees.

[0006] Patent No. CN201410626805.7 discloses "a method for raising double queens in Chinese honey bees". In May or June before natural swarming occurs, a strong bee colony is selected from a series of bee colonies for queen breeding, and one day-old larvae are selected from each of the remaining beehives and placed in the queen breeding box for cultivation for 9 days. The old queen bee and 3 to 6 worker bees in the remaining beehives are attached to the side combs of the beehive. After the queen cells mature, they are lured into the original beehives respectively, and the emergence and mating of the new queen bee are observed. If the emergence and mating are normal and there is no fighting, the double queen breeding is successful. The above patent can realize the breeding of a queen bee over one year old and a newly cultivated queen bee in the same box, which is actually utilizing the biological learning ability of mother and daughter in the same nest in nature. The shortcoming of this patent is that a queen bee over one year old and a new queen bee are required to realize breeding in the same box, which not only limits the technical level of this breeding method, but also the ability of the old queen bee over one year old to lay eggs and secrete queen pheromones has declined, and it is an eliminated queen in production. The double queen colony formed by this method does not have the normal queen bee egg-laying ability, and the old queen bee will also die of old age due to reaching physiological age, and the coexistence of the double queen colony will not last long.

[0007] Application No. CN201810617289.X discloses "a double queen breeding method suitable for Chinese honey bees", breeding preparation, first breeding, second breeding, third breeding, fourth breeding, fifth breeding and sixth breeding. The hive is divided into the first queen area and the second queen area by a queen excluder equipped with a whole frame of empty honeycombs for the first breeding and the second breeding. When the third breeding is carried out, the queen excluder of the hive is replaced with a queen excluder equipped with a whole frame of empty honeycombs, and the replaced queen excluder is transferred into the super, so that not only the hive is divided into the first queen area and the second queen area, but also the super is divided into the first raising area and the second raising area by the queen excluder. Since a flat queen excluder is installed on the hive, a double king breeding method is finally formed in which worker bees can freely go to the super, but the queen cannot go to the super. However, the above patent does not introduce whether the bee outlet switch on the side of the queen excluder of the honeycomb is turned on. If it is not turned on, the two queen excluders of the honeycomb equipped with a whole frame of empty honeycombs separate the hive box and the super into two areas where the queen bees and the worker bees cannot communicate with each other. The worker bees in each area can move up and down through the flat queen excluder, which only utilizes the function of mutual insulation. The idle worker bees cannot work together, which is the same as the breeding method of using two beehives with supers close together, or the hive box with super and the super separated into two areas by a middle partition, and the purpose of breeding two queens in the same group is not achieved. If it is open, the queen excluder with a whole frame of empty honeycombs only serves the function of a vertical queen excluder, dividing the beehive into two areas where queen bees cannot pass through each other but worker bees can communicate with each other for breeding. This is the same as the method of using vertical queen excluders to form two queens in the same box with reference to the Western honeybee double queen colony breeding technology. When the bee colony develops to a certain colony strength, it is easy to tend to the side of the strong queen bee. If the bees tend to tend to the side for a long time, it is easy to lose the other queen bee with poor egg-laying, and the purpose of double queen breeding cannot be achieved for a long time.

Cover the left queen bee breeding area with the left inner cover plate, cover the right queen bee breeding area with the right inner cover plate, cover the top of the nest box with a gauze cover, a cover cloth and a large cover, so that the left queen bee can lay eggs normally in the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee can lay eggs normally in the right queen bee breeding area; Step 3: Organize the relay box Add empty nest foundation frames or empty honeycombs to the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area respectively to allow the bee colony to lay eggs, until the colony strength in the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area both develop to 4 honeycombs and there are worker bees at the inner left nest entrance and the inner right nest entrance, then open the nest box and lift the sealed honeycomb without a queen in the left queen bee breeding area with the honeycombs to the left worker bee swimming area, lift the sealed honeycomb without a queen in the right queen bee breeding area with the honeycombs to the right worker bee swimming area, and then add an empty nest foundation frame or an empty honeycomb to the original position respectively; cover the left queen bee breeding area with the inner left cover plate, cover the right queen bee breeding area with the inner right cover plate, cover the upper part of the nest box with a gauze cover, stack the super on the gauze cover, cover the super with a covering cloth and a large cover, so that the queen pheromones in the left breeding area and the right breeding area are fully mixed in the super; Step 4: Double King Spawning and Reproduction After 10 days, open the big cover, the covering cloth, the super, the gauze cover, the inner left cover plate and the inner right cover plate in sequence, lift the 2 queen-less sealed cover frames in the left queen bee breeding area with the bees and the frames to the left side of the super box and the upper and lower opposite position of the left worker bee refreshing swimming area, lift the 2 queen-less sealed cover frames in the right queen bee breeding area with the bees and the frames to the right side of the super box and the upper and lower opposite position of the right worker bee refreshing swimming area, add 1 empty nest foundation frame or 1 empty frame to each of the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area, and then replace the steps 1 and 2. 3. The empty combs that have left the room in the left worker bee refreshing area are brought back to the left queen bee breeding area, and the empty combs that have left the room in the right worker bee refreshing area are brought back to the right queen bee breeding area, so that the left queen bee and the right queen bee are allowed to lay eggs and reproduce, and the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area are covered with the inner left cover plate and the right inner cover plate respectively, and the super box is stacked on the nest box, and the super box is covered with a gauze cover, a covering cloth and a large cover; after 1 day, the 4 bee combs in the super box are adjusted to move closer to the middle and leave a standard bee path, and the super box nest door is opened; Step 5: Double-king cycle spawning and reproduction After 19 days, the honeycombs in the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area have finished laying eggs, and the capped honeycombs in the super box have all been laid out; 3 queenless capped honeycombs in the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area are lifted to the middle of the super box and the bee path is adjusted, 2 of the 4 empty honeycombs in the super box are lowered to the left queen bee breeding area and 2 to the right queen bee breeding area, and 1 empty nest frame or 1 empty honeycomb is added to each of the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area, and the super boxes are stacked according to the method in step 4; Every month, swap the 3 queenless capped combs in the left and right queen breeding areas with the empty combs in the super; one week after the swap, check whether there are queen cells in the super, and remove them if there are.

[0013] Step 6: Wintering treatment When the average daytime temperature drops to 10°C, remove the super, take out the movable left partition and the movable right partition in the hive box, lift the honeycombs in the super into the hive box, remove the excess old honeycombs and honeyless honeycombs, adjust the honeycomb bee paths in the left breeding area and the right breeding area in the hive box to 13-15mm, cover with gauze, cover cloth and large cover in turn for wintering; after wintering, install the movable left partition and the movable right partition in step 2 and repeat to step 5 when breeding in the spring of the second year.

[0014] Step 7: Change the King In the step 5, the queen bee in the left queen breeding area / right queen breeding area is removed, the movable left partition / movable right partition is taken out, two honeycombs with bees and honeycombs are lifted from the super to the left breeding area / right breeding area, and queen cells are hung on the honeycombs in the left breeding area / right breeding area, the inner left cover plate / inner right cover plate is covered on the left breeding area / right breeding area to seal it, the four honeycombs in the super are adjusted to be aligned with the four honeycombs in the right queen breeding area / left queen breeding area, the super nest door is closed, and a queen excluder is installed on the outer right nest door / outer left nest door, and the queen excluder is removed after the virgin queen in the left breeding area / right breeding area mates and lays eggs; Take out the movable right partition / movable left partition in the right breeding area / left breeding area, lift two honeycombs with bees and honeycombs from the super to the right breeding area / left breeding area, shake the bees into the right breeding area / left breeding area and then take out the remaining two honeycombs in the super; take out the inner left cover / inner right cover, cover the nest box with a gauze cover, then stack the super on the gauze cover, cover the super with a covering cloth and a large cover, and allow the left queen bee pheromone and the right queen bee pheromone to mix in the super; After 1 day, the movable left partition is installed in the left breeding area, the movable right partition is installed in the right breeding area, the honeycombs and bee paths are adjusted so that there are 4 honeycombs and a left queen bee in the left queen bee breeding area, 2 honeycombs in the left worker bee refreshing area, 4 honeycombs and a right queen bee in the right queen bee breeding area, and 2 honeycombs in the right worker bee refreshing area, the left queen bee breeding area is covered with an inner left cover plate, the right queen bee breeding area is covered with an inner right cover plate, and then the honeycombs are cleaned and the honeycombs are cleaned. The box is covered with a gauze cover, a covering cloth and a large cover in sequence; the left queen bee and the right queen bee lay eggs and reproduce normally. One day later, the large cover, the covering cloth, the super, the gauze cover, the inner left cover plate and the inner right cover plate are opened in sequence, and the two honeycombs in the left worker bee refreshing swimming area are lifted with the bees and the spleen to the upper and lower opposite positions on the left side of the super, and the two honeycombs in the right worker bee refreshing swimming area are lifted with the bees and the spleen to the upper and lower opposite positions on the right side of the super. After another day, the 4 honeycombs in the super are adjusted to move closer to the middle and leave a standard bee path, and the super nest door is opened; then repeat step 5.

[0015] Wherein, in step 2, the mated queen bee from other Chinese honey bee colonies is directly introduced into the right breeding area / left breeding area, and there is no need to install a queen excluder at the outer left nest door / outer right nest door of the left breeding area / right breeding area. In step 5, during the period of high honey flow, 80% of the capped honey in the honeycombs in the super is directly taken, and the empty honeycombs from which the honey has been taken are put back into the super to wait for the next exchange.

[0016] Preferably, step 7, changing the queen, may be performed by removing the queen bee in the left breeding area / right breeding area in step 5, and locking the queen bee that has completed mating in other Chinese honey bee colonies in a queen cage that worker bees cannot enter and placing the queen bee in the left breeding area / right breeding area from which the original queen bee has been removed; releasing the new queen bee from the queen cage after half a day, and then directly repeating the step of swapping the honeycombs in the hive box and the super box every month in step 5.

[0017] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages: The device and method of the present invention can realize the year-round rearing of two queens in the same box of Chinese honey bees; it solves the problem that the double queen colony is prone to mutual interference and loss of the queen; the cultivated bee colony is strong, has strong resistance to adversity, and is not easy to get sick. In addition, since the present invention can realize the year-round rearing of two queens in the same box, the nest temperature is higher than that of a single queen. If the winter temperature is not below 0°C for a long time, the bee colony does not need additional insulation, and the nest temperature is stable; the spring breeding bee colony lays more eggs, and the bee colony grows rapidly.

[0018] In the present invention, the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area are relatively independent and centralized. Among them, the left breeding area and the right breeding area are separated from each other by physical means (fixed middle partition), but they are concentrated in the same nest box. In addition, the left queen bee pheromone in the left queen bee breeding area enters the super box through the inner left nest door and the left worker bee refreshing area, and the right queen bee pheromone in the right queen bee breeding area enters the super box through the right nest door and the right worker bee refreshing area. The left queen bee pheromone and the right queen bee pheromone are fully mixed in the super box, ensuring that the worker bees in the left breeding area and the worker bees in the right breeding area will not interfere with each other, which is both independent and centralized. In addition, the spleen is replaced once a month or so, which keeps warm and moisturizes, which is in line with the biological characteristics of Chinese bees that like moisture and quietness; after the upper and lower spleens are replaced, there are many empty nests, and the path that the queen bee needs to crawl when laying eggs is shortened, which reduces the time for the queen bee to find empty nests.

[0019] The device and method of the present invention saves the floor space for placing beehives, and one beehive is equivalent to two colonies.

[0020] The method of the present invention can store more queens in case of need. When there are two queens in one bee colony, one queen can be directly taken away when there is no queen in other colonies, without causing loss of queen and egg-laying by worker bees.

The outer left nest door is located in the left worker bee refreshing swimming area, and the outer right nest door is located in the right worker bee refreshing swimming area.

[0026] In this embodiment, the movable left partition and the movable right partition are the same as the fixed middle partition, and are provided with protrusions at both ends of the top that can be inserted into the L-shaped groove, so that the movable left partition and the movable right partition can be removably installed in the nest box. The "movable" left partition and the "movable" right partition mean that the installation position is not fixed. The movable left partition can move left and right in the left breeding area to adjust the space of the left queen bee breeding area, and the movable right partition can move left and right in the right breeding area to adjust the space of the right queen bee breeding area.

[0027] Moreover, an inner left cover plate 6 is arranged on the top of the left queen bee breeding area, and an inner right cover plate 7 is arranged on the top of the right queen bee breeding area. The widths of the left inner cover plate and the right inner cover plate are adjustable, so that the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area that change due to the left and right movements of the movable left partition plate and the movable right partition plate can be matched.

Figure 1 The L-shaped groove of the relay box, the gauze cover and the covering cloth are not shown.

[0030] Embodiment 2: This embodiment provides a method for improving the egg-laying capacity of a Chinese honey bee colony, using the device of embodiment 1, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Cultivate Chinese bees in boxes A Chinese bee colony is transferred to the nest box, wherein the fixed middle partition, the movable left partition, the movable right partition, the inner left cover plate and the inner right cover plate are not installed in the nest box, and the super box is not stacked on the nest box; the order of the honeycombs and the bee paths of the Chinese bee colony are adjusted so that the egg and worm spleen of the Chinese bee colony is located in the middle of the nest box, the sealed cover spleen is placed on both sides of the egg and worm spleen, and the honey spleen is placed on both sides of the sealed cover spleen, and then the inner cover plate, the gauze cover, the covering cloth and the large cover of the nest box are sequentially covered, and the outer left nest door and the outer right nest door of the nest box are opened, so that the worker bees of the Chinese bee colony can normally enter and exit the outer left nest door and the outer right nest door to collect; The inner cover of the hive in this step can be another cover, or the inner left cover and the inner right cover can be directly used. It is only necessary to cover the honeycomb part of the bee colony. The purpose of covering the inner cover of the hive is to prevent the bee colony from building redundant honeycombs when taking in too much honey, which will connect the gauze covers together and make management inconvenient.

[0031] Step 2: Form a double king group When the original Chinese honey bee colony develops to more than 4 honeycombs in step 1, open the nest box, install the fixed middle partition in the nest box to form a left breeding area and a right breeding area, leave half of the honeycombs of the original Chinese honey bee colony in the left breeding area, and the other half of the honeycombs in the right breeding area, and leave the queen bee of the original Chinese honey bee colony in the left breeding area or the right breeding area (this breeding area is called the old queen area); half a day later, hang the king cells artificially cultivated in the original Chinese honey bee colony, the king cells naturally produced in the original Chinese honey bee colony or the mature king cells of other Chinese honey bee colonies in the right breeding area or the left breeding area (this breeding area is called the new queen area); In this embodiment, the left breeding area is taken as the old queen colony, and the right breeding area is taken as the new queen colony for illustration, that is, the queen of the original Chinese bee colony stays in the left breeding area, and the queen cell is hung in the right breeding area; a queen excluder is installed on the outer left nest door of the left breeding area, and the queen excluder of the outer left nest door is removed after the new queen in the right breeding area successfully mates and lays eggs; The movable left partition is installed in the left breeding area to form the left queen bee breeding area and the left worker bee refreshing swimming area, and the movable right partition is installed in the right breeding area to form the right queen bee breeding area and the right worker bee refreshing swimming area, all the honeycombs in the left breeding area are located in the left queen bee breeding area and the side honeycombs are one single bee path away from the movable left partition, and all the honeycombs in the right breeding area are located in the right queen bee breeding area and the side honeycombs are one single bee path away from the movable right partition; Cover the left queen bee breeding area with the left inner cover plate, cover the right queen bee breeding area with the right inner cover plate, cover the top of the nest box with a gauze cover, a cover cloth and a large cover, so that the left queen bee can lay eggs normally in the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee can lay eggs normally in the right queen bee breeding area; In this embodiment, a single bee path is 6-8mm, and the standard double bee path in the middle is 8-12mm.

[0032] In addition, as another implementation method of this embodiment, the queen bee from other Chinese bee colonies that have completed mating can be directly introduced into the right breeding area, and there is no need to install a queen excluder at the outer left nest door of the left breeding area. The queen bee from other Chinese bee colonies that have completed mating can be locked up in the right breeding area for half a day with a queen cage and then released, and then the movable left partition and the movable right partition can be directly installed.

[0033] Step 3: Organize the relay box Add empty nest foundation frames or empty honeycombs to the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area respectively to allow the bee colony to lay eggs, until the colony strength in the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area has developed to 4 honeycombs and more worker bees appear at the inner left nest entrance and the inner right nest entrance, then open the nest box and lift the sealed honeycomb without a queen in the left queen bee breeding area with the honeycombs to the left worker bee swimming area, lift the sealed honeycomb without a queen in the right queen bee breeding area with the honeycombs to the right worker bee swimming area, and then add an empty nest foundation frame or an empty honeycomb to the original position respectively; cover the left queen bee breeding area with the inner left cover plate, cover the right queen bee breeding area with the inner right cover plate, cover the upper part of the nest box with a gauze cover, stack the super on the gauze cover, cover the super with a covering cloth and a large cover, so that the queen pheromones in the left breeding area and the right breeding area are fully mixed in the super; In this step, if the colony strength in the right queen bee breeding area has not yet been reached, the left queen bee breeding area can be operated first, or the brood combs in the left queen bee breeding area can be swapped with the empty combs in the right queen bee breeding area, and then the operations can be performed simultaneously after the colony strength on both sides reaches 4 combs.

[0034] Step 4: Double King Spawning and Reproduction After another 10 days, the newly added combs have basically laid all their eggs. Open the big cover, covering cloth, super, gauze cover, inner left cover plate and inner right cover plate in turn, lift the 2 queen-less sealed combs in the left queen breeding area with their bees and combs to the left side of the super box, opposite to the left worker bee refreshing swimming area, lift the 2 queen-less sealed combs in the right queen breeding area with their bees and combs to the right side of the super box, opposite to the right worker bee refreshing swimming area, and add 1 empty nest foundation frame or 1 empty nest foundation frame to the left queen breeding area and the right queen breeding area respectively. The left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area are covered with the inner left cover plate and the inner right cover plate, respectively, and the super box is stacked on the nest box, and the super box is covered with a gauze cover, a covering cloth and a large cover; after 1 day, the 4 bee combs in the super box are adjusted to move closer to the middle and leave a standard bee path, and the super box nest door is opened; Step 5: Double-king cycle spawning and reproduction After another 19 days, the honeycombs in the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area have completed egg-laying, and the capped honeycombs in the super box have all been laid out; 3 queenless capped honeycombs in the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area are lifted to the middle of the super box and the bee path is adjusted, 2 of the 4 empty honeycombs in the super box are lowered to the left queen bee breeding area and 2 to the right queen bee breeding area, and 1 empty nest foundation frame or 1 empty honeycomb is respectively supplemented to the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area; the super boxes are stacked according to the method in step 4, that is, the inner left cover plate and the inner right cover plate are first covered on the left queen bee breeding area and the right queen bee breeding area, the super boxes are stacked on the nest boxes, and the super boxes are covered with a gauze cover, a cover cloth and a large cover in sequence.

[0035] Every month, swap the 3 queenless capped honeycombs in the left queen breeding area and the right queen breeding area with the empty honeycombs in the super, that is, swap 3 of the 6 empty honeycombs in the super with the 3 queenless capped honeycombs in the left queen breeding area, and swap the other 3 empty honeycombs with the 3 queenless capped honeycombs in the right queen breeding area; one week after the swap, check whether there are queen cells in the super, and remove them if there are any. During the period of heavy honey flow, take the honey directly from 80% of the capped honeycombs in the super, and put the empty honeycombs back into the super to wait for the next swap.

[0036] Step 6: Wintering treatment When the average daytime temperature drops to 10°C, remove the super, take out the movable left partition and the movable right partition in the hive box, lift the honeycombs in the super into the hive box, remove the excess old honeycombs and honeyless honeycombs, adjust the honeycomb bee paths in the left breeding area and the right breeding area in the hive box to 13-15mm, cover with gauze, cover cloth and large cover in turn for wintering; after wintering, install the movable left partition and the movable right partition in step 2 and repeat to step 5 when breeding in the spring of the second year.

[0037] If the local temperature is not continuously below 0°C, the nest box can be overwintered without being wrapped in insulation; if the local temperature is below 0°C for a long time, the nest box can be simply wrapped in outer packaging for overwintering.

[0038] Step 7: Change the King In the step 5, the queen bee in the left queen breeding area / right queen breeding area is removed, the movable left partition / movable right partition is taken out, two honeycombs with bees and honeycombs are lifted from the super to the left breeding area / right breeding area, and queen cells are hung on the honeycombs in the left breeding area / right breeding area, the inner left cover plate / inner right cover plate is covered on the left breeding area / right breeding area to seal it, the four honeycombs in the super are adjusted to be aligned with the four honeycombs in the right queen breeding area / left queen breeding area, the super nest door is closed, and a queen excluder is installed on the outer right nest door / outer left nest door, and the queen excluder is removed after the virgin queen in the left breeding area / right breeding area mates and lays eggs; Take out the movable right partition / movable left partition in the right breeding area / left breeding area, lift two honeycombs with bees and honeycombs from the super to the right breeding area / left breeding area, shake the bees into the right breeding area / left breeding area and then take out the remaining two honeycombs in the super; take out the inner left cover / inner right cover, cover the nest box with a gauze cover, then stack the super on the gauze cover, cover the super with a covering cloth and a large cover, and allow the left queen bee pheromone and the right queen bee pheromone to mix in the super; After 1 day, the movable left partition is installed in the left breeding area, the movable right partition is installed in the right breeding area, the honeycombs and bee paths are adjusted so that there are 4 honeycombs and a left queen bee in the left queen bee breeding area, 2 honeycombs in the left worker bee refreshing area, 4 honeycombs and a right queen bee in the right queen bee breeding area, and 2 honeycombs in the right worker bee refreshing area, the left queen bee breeding area is covered with an inner left cover plate, the right queen bee breeding area is covered with an inner right cover plate, and then the honeycombs are cleaned and the honeycombs are cleaned. The box is covered with a gauze cover, a covering cloth and a large cover in sequence; the left queen bee and the right queen bee lay eggs and reproduce normally. One day later, the large cover, the covering cloth, the super, the gauze cover, the inner left cover plate and the inner right cover plate are opened in sequence, and the two honeycombs in the left worker bee refreshing swimming area are lifted with the bees and the spleen to the upper and lower opposite positions on the left side of the super, and the two honeycombs in the right worker bee refreshing swimming area are lifted with the bees and the spleen to the upper and lower opposite positions on the right side of the super. After another day, the 4 honeycombs in the super are adjusted to move closer to the middle and leave a standard bee path, and the super nest door is opened; then repeat step 5.

[0039] Among them, when the queen needs to be replaced in both the left breeding area and the right breeding area, if the queen is replaced by hanging the queen cell in step 7, the queen cannot be replaced in the left breeding area and the right breeding area at the same time, and the queen can only be replaced on one side before the other side.

[0040] As another implementation method in this embodiment, step 7 is: use a queen bee that has completed mating in other Chinese bee colonies to replace the queen, remove the queen bee in the left breeding area or the right breeding area, and put the replaced queen in a queen cage that worker bees cannot enter into the left breeding area or the right breeding area, and release the new queen from the queen cage after half a day.

[0041] If you use a queen bee from another Chinese honey bee colony that has already mated, you can change the queen in both the left and right breeding areas at the same time, and this method does not require adjusting the honeycombs. After changing the queen, just repeat the steps in step 5 to swap the honeycombs in the nest box and the super box every month.

[0042] The device and method in this embodiment can realize the year-round double-king breeding of Chinese honeybees in the same box; solve the problem of double-king colonies easily interfering with each other and losing the queen; the cultivated bee colonies are strong in group strength, strong in stress resistance, and not easy to get sick. In addition, since the present invention can realize the year-round double-king breeding in the same box, the nest temperature is higher than that of a single queen, the bee colony does not need additional insulation in winter, and the nest temperature is stable; the spring breeding colony lays more eggs, and the bee colony grows rapidly. In addition, the feeding area is relatively independent and concentrated; wherein the left breeding area and the right breeding area are separated from each other by physical partitions, but are concentrated in the same nest box. In addition, the left queen pheromone in the left queen breeding area enters the super box through the inner left nest door and the left worker bee refreshing area, and the right queen pheromone in the right queen breeding area enters the super box through the right nest door and the right worker bee refreshing area. The left queen pheromone and the right queen pheromone are fully mixed in the super box to ensure that the worker bees in the left breeding area and the worker bees in the right breeding area will not interfere with each other, which is both independent and concentrated. In addition, the honeycomb is replaced once every month or so, which keeps the honeycomb warm and moisturized, which is in line with the biological characteristics of Chinese honeybees that like warmth and quietness; after the upper and lower honeycombs are replaced, there are many empty nests, and the path that the queen bee needs to crawl when laying eggs is shortened, which reduces the time the queen bee needs to find empty nests. Moreover, the device and method in this embodiment save the floor space for placing beehives, and one box is equivalent to two colonies. This method can also store more queens in case of need. If there are two queens in a bee colony, one can be directly taken away when there is no queen in other colonies, without causing the loss of the queen and the laying of eggs by worker bees.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes may be made to it in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
