How to manage bee colonies in winter
1. Do a good job of keeping warm and keeping cold. The temperature difference between day and night in winter is relatively large. During the day, the temperature is high and the bees are scattered around the box. At night, the bee colonies shrink into groups. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the warmth of bee colonies at night. When the cold wave comes, the nest door should also be properly reduced.
2. Overwinter scientifically feed wintering fodder using mature honey or pure white sugar that does not love crystallisation. Honey containing rust and contaminated with harmful substances cannot be used as winter feed. If honey is used as feed, because the honey produced in the fall contains glucose crystallization nucleus or crystallized, it is necessary to add 50 kg of mature honey to 3 to 4 kg of water before feeding, and gradually put it in a pot to 70 °C for half the duration. Remove it after an hour to fully dissolve the glucose crystallization nucleus; use sugar syrup as feed, that is, add 50 grams of sugar and 28 to 33 kilograms of water, put the water into a pan and warm it up to 100°C, and then add sugar to it. Dissolve and take out the cooling when 100°C is reached again. Feed the overwintering materials in a short period of time and feed them in a short period of time. Do not extend the feeding time to prevent the queen bees from spawning, causing the nest temperature to be too high and the bees to loosen, affecting the safety. Wintering.
3. Immediately after taking the spleen immediately before the beginning of the winter frost, the honey source is still relatively abundant during this period, and the temperature is relatively high and stable. It is appropriate to take the spleen to collect honey. When the nest is stored at more than 80%, spleen can be taken, but 2 to 3 honey spleen should be left in each box to prevent abrupt changes in temperature and spleen deficiency. After the snowfall, shaking honey must be done with less care and attention. If there is no good weather for 3 days, do not take spleen.
