How to manage Chinese bees in summer?

High temperature in summer, lack of honey source and serious wasp harm are the main reasons why bees in southern China are difficult to spend the summer. In order to make bees spend the summer safely and prepare for autumn reproduction, we must do a good job in the management of bees that spend the summer.

The new king in late spring and early summer of that year should have been adopted in summer. Xinwang has strong oviposition ability, short oviposition stopping period in summer and quick oviposition recovery. Oversummer bees should maintain strong population potential and adequate feed. The group has strong potential and strong resistance to unfavorable external environment. Only by storing enough honey can bees be stable. Each nest spleen needs a honey ring and 1 ~ 2 pollen spleens. If the amount of honey stored is insufficient, it should be replenished quickly, and reward feeding should not be carried out, so as not to stimulate the queen bee to lay eggs and the worker bees to leave the nest for collection, which will cause the colony to decline and affect the autumn reproduction.

Prevention of enemy damage: in summer, pull out the old spleen and redundant nest spleen, concentrate the bee colony, and keep the bee spleen in proportion to prevent the damage of nest insects. For wasps, it is also possible to use a round hole nest door or a curved path nest door for artificial killing to prevent wasps from invading the hive. In summer, the climate is hot and there are many enemies, so bees should keep quiet and open their hives as little as possible. Usually, check the bees quickly every 7 ~ 10 days, and pay attention to shade the bees. Sprinkle water around them often to cool down, and pay attention to feed the bees with water. Bees will use water evaporation to cool down.
