Can you tell me a few hundred pounds?

Some people can take hundreds of pounds of honey in a box of bees, while others can only take a few pounds of honey. The bee family thinks this phenomenon is normal. We can look at this problem from the aspects of bee species, honey source, honey collection methods and feeding methods, and find out the reasons. It is not difficult to know the answer.

Bee species We mainly consider China bees and Italian bees here, because China bees and Italian bees are the main domestic bees.

First: China bees.

The annual honey production of bees in China is not to say that it can't reach several hundred kilograms, but it can be achieved completely. Mainly depends on the group potential and honey source of our breeding. Just as we breed in Anshun, Guizhou, and use strong bees to collect honey, live bees can still collect hundreds of kilograms of honey, but it is relatively small. Look at the weather, it is normal to weigh more than 50 kilograms a year, which is mature honey.

Because the population potential of Chinese bees is generally small, the bee family thinks that the honey yield of Chinese bees is indispensable under the same population potential. Generally, the colony potential of Italian bees is more than twice or even three or four times that of China bees, so it is natural to take more honey.

Second: Italian bees

Because Italian bees take the way of chasing flowers and collecting honey, they often take turns to collect honey, so the annual honey yield of Italian bees 100 kilograms is a small data, which can be achieved by ordinary bees, so it is not necessary to make a fuss about a box of bees producing honey 100 kilograms. If Italian bees collect mature honey, it is no problem to collect 100 kilograms of honey by chasing flowers.

Generally, Italian bees use double queen bees to breed in boxes, and the population potential is several times that of China bees. It is an indisputable fact that Italian bees collect honey better than China bees except honey. After all, there are so many bees

The bee tribe thinks this is a main reason. If the honey source is sufficient, we adopt live frame culture to get honey reasonably. As long as it doesn't rain for a long time, it is ok to take 100 kg of honey from Chinese bees.

There are more ways to get honey, like the way Italian bees get honey, not to mention a hundred kilograms, but a few hundred kilograms. It is said on the Internet that Italian bees collect honey every three to five days. In fact, this point has been highly valued. According to the understanding of the bee tribe, almost all Italian bees take turns to collect honey at present. If it takes three to five days to collect honey, it doesn't have to wait three to five days to collect honey, but the time is too late, because there are many hundreds of boxes of bees in an Italian bee farm. As a result, it took more than one day to collect the honey from the last box of bees in front of the bees, otherwise the beekeeper would like to collect the honey for one day, because the merchants don't mind, but sometimes it will be delayed, so it is impossible to take turns to collect the honey once or twice a day, and some honey takes about a week.

Breeding methods From the breeding methods, we can divide it into Chinese bee breeding and Italian bee breeding. From the perspective of honey source, there is not much difference in the yield of China honey and Italian honey, but the difference in yield is soil culture and live frame culture.
