The invention discloses an artificial queen rearing and exchanging method for traditional feeding of
apis cerana, which comprises the following steps: step 1, selecting a bee colony which has a colony potential of more than 9000 worker bees, has a flat
honeycomb lower edge and has a certain swarming emotion, and breeding the bee colony; 2, a new queen
cell is cultivated, an S-shaped lower
honeycomb with the width of 5 cm is
cut off from the middle of the queen breeding
honeycomb to the lower edge, part of small larvae or eggs are exposed, and the inner service bees in the colony are heightened to form the queen
cell; 3, new queen cells are selected, 3-5 high-quality queen cells are reserved 4-5 days after the second step, and other queen cells are removed; 4,
trapping the original queen bees, collecting the bees in the
nest box by adopting a bee collecting cage after the step 2 is carried out for 6 days, driving the bees in the bee collecting cage into the
nest box,
trapping the queen bees through a
queen bee isolating sheet at a
nest entrance, and
trapping the queen bees into a
queen bee trapping cage. 5, high-quality queen cells are ensured, one queen
cell with the
diameter larger than 9.5 mm and the length about 4 cm on the queen breeding honeycomb is reserved, and other redundant queen cells are removed; and 6, confirming that the cultivated
queen bee exits from the queen cell, and if the top of the queen cell is bitten open and the opening part is circular, indicating that the new queen bee is successfully cultivated. 7, queen exchange succeeds, the queen exchange succeeds after the new queen in the step 6 successfully goes out of the house and is copulated, and at the moment, the original queen is taken out for additional treatment.
