A method for efficient annual propagation of apiscerana based on dynamic matching of colony brood capacity
By dynamically regulating the fertility index in real time and providing natural nutrition, combined with a three-pronged approach of physical, biological and nutritional control, the problems of unstable colony strength and mismatch between egg production and fertility in the reproduction of Chinese honeybees have been solved, achieving efficient year-round reproduction and extended worker bee lifespan.

AI Technical Summary
Existing Chinese honeybee breeding techniques suffer from problems such as unstable colony strength, mismatch between egg production and brood rearing capacity, reliance on substitute feed leading to shortened worker bee lifespan, and challenges in controlling swarming fever, making it difficult to achieve efficient year-round breeding.
By establishing a real-time fertility index for bee colonies, dynamically regulating the queen's egg-laying and worker bee fertility capabilities, adopting a tiered natural nutrient supply and dynamic comb management, and combining physical, biological, and nutritional control measures, dynamic regulation of bee colonies can be achieved throughout the year.
It increased the reproductive efficiency to over 90%, extended the effective breeding period to over ten months, increased the lifespan of worker bees by 25%, reduced the swarming fever rate to less than 5%, and significantly improved colony stability.
