How to transplant bees

Under resettlement, bees understand the movement of the colony from one hive to another. At the same time, the transfer of bees is carried out with the uterus. The reasons for the resettlement most often becomes deposit or damage to the hive. In addition, these actions are performed to improve the composition of the bee family, which, in turn, affects the quantity and quality of honey, which brings a colony.

General recommendations for moving bees

It is important that the new hive stand in place where the previous one was located. For resettlement, it is also necessary to take into account the weather - a warm sunny day is needed.

Well, if there is a heated room at the apiary. In this case, the new hive is recommended to warm. Pereplain bees in a warm hive much better than in the cold.

Depending on the type of hive, the resettlement may be of varying complexity. The easiest way to do this from the hives that have headlines. In this case, to relocate the family with the uterus. Bees are driven through this title.

The easiest way to resettle the bee from Dadanov types of hives is easiest. At the same time, the new hive is placed in the right place next to the resettlement.

To resettle the bees, together with their drift, follow these actions:

1. From the old hive, remove the cells and put them in the box.
2. Then they are placed in the new hive in the same way as they stood in the old one. At the same time, it is important to follow the uterus.
3. If in the old ule, there was still some amount of bees, they should be shifted on the dressing. With her, the bee should also go to the new hive.
4. If there is a need only in the resettlement of bees to another skid, the following actions are performed:

• after the nest is arranged in the new ule, the skid is getting out of the old hive;
• next, with the help of ordinary feathers, the bee sweeping into a new hive. It is important to ensure that the uterus remains a mustache.

If the hive of the stationary type and it can not be moved, then the beekeepers usually produce only replacement.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Remove dirty honeycombs with bees.
2. Put them in a portable box.
3. To arrange a clean new nest in the same ule.
4. Get honeycombs from the box and shift bees back to the hive.

What should never be done, so it is to try to relocate bees from simple hives by transferring drifts to Dadana. The fact is that if the bees are moved in this way, they can simply fly out of the hive or very much weaken. In any case, the breakage will be damaged. The fact is that the breakdown, put in the uterus in a simple ule, will be useless and will disappear. If there is a need for a similar resettlement, it is better to wait until the summer when the bee family from simple ultrasound will enter into force. Otherwise, you will not have any worker hive. Do not even relocate the family of bee from one Dadanovsky hive to another Dadan. This is especially true of the early spring and late autumn period. Even in this case, the family can become weak or in general the abyss.

Selection and resettlement bees

Portable resettlement boxes

In practice, it is often necessary to remove bee from the hive, which is covered with a drift. This is necessary for the manufacture of artificial ROOV, as well as to strengthen weak families. In this case, a basket of straw or a portable box is used, which is also sometimes called a "traverse". It is a box of thin milking, fastened with the help of nails. In the front of this box there is a hole, which is closed with a lid in the form of a frame, tightened with a wire grid. So that this cover does not fail, the lattice is attached to it using four planks. At the same time, two of them are released over the edge of the frame about 0.5 centimeters. It is these protrusions that the frame is held at the edges of the box.

So that the cover is not falling during the carrying, it is drilled by a pair of holes and insert oak pegs in them that hold the frame.

There are certain norms on the width and length of these boxes. Its size depends on the size of the Roy. So, for strong numerous Ries, you can use a box with a height of 400 millimeters. At the same time, from above, where the frame includes, there should be about 27 centimeters wide. For smaller Ries, it is better to use drawers with a height and width of 27 centimeters. Only of them are bees easily fly away during the opening of the cover when replacing. Therefore, these boxes are tightened with the assignment of one box on another the same, but without the bottom. This box is called "throat" without the bottom. The result is a box with a height of about 53 centimeters, which is quite enough for bees to fly out of it. In order for when carrying, they are not filled with both sides, it is necessary to make through holes in which pegs are inserted if necessary. When there are several bees in a box, it should be shaken so that the bees are sprinkled from the walls to the bottom. After that, the throat should be removed and quickly close the box with a lid.

Some beekeepers make themselves several additional portable boxes with a length of 310-330 millimeters and so width that would allow to enter the hive. Such drawers have a hole and a lid with a grid. After removing the lid, such a box can be placed inside the hive, both down and up the hole. For example, they can be used for the ROOEV race instead of a distillation box. If the swarm is needed in the hive, the drawer lid opens and turns the hole down and is embedded in the hive. These boxes can be used to achieve other purposes. For example, they are used when after removing from the hives it is necessary to take the bees remaining in it.

For this you need:

1. Wait while the bees will gather in a bunch of ceiling of the hive.
2. When this happens, you need to insert inside the portable box and with a pen, several bees are sweeping into the box.
3. After that, we close it with a lid.
4. If you manage to catch the uterus, then the movement of the family is even easier.
5. The uterus is placed in a cell suspended inside the drawer.
6. After that, it is necessary to post all the bees from the head of the hive.
7. Then the portable box is installed in the head on two padded holes with hole down and finally, the hive is locked.
8. Overnight, bees must come together in a bunch of uterus. In the morning, the portable box can be removed and covered with a lid. This method allows you to pick up all bees. If you need to transfer bees to another area, the portable box is recommended to insert up the hole in the lower part of the desired hive.

Some beekeepers have drawers with a height of about 31 centimeters, 67 centimeters long and 20 centimeter width. This box is not used for carrying bees, so it does not have covers. It is used mainly for hanging cells, when removing them from the hives during the assembly of honey or disassembling the nest. It is important that this box is wider than the width of the hive. The bottom is recommended to be done very dense, hot wax should be flooded in the corners. It is necessary that through the gaps did not flow honey. From both sides to carry the box, leather ears should be fascinated. It is such a box that it is recommended to use for hanging hots with bees.

Transplanting Bee Spring

Closer to the spring, the bee in the place of wintering begin to actively develop. Because of this, it becomes closely at the same place. Therefore, beekeepers have to transplant their early spring. The cause of transplanting bees in another hive is also the fact that a lot of waste of life, dead bees accumulates in the hives. It is still possible to form dampness and mold, which also prevents further life of bees.

The transplant should be done when there is good weather on the street, sunny, windless and ambient temperature is not lower than +10 degrees Celsius.

Transfer Technology:

1. The transplant of bees in the hive is usually starting with removal of hives from the stand. It is put on his place a new hive, which must be pre-cleared, disinfected and, if necessary, repaired. The new house is placed by Möho-Pergic Honeycomb.
2. Then the old hive opens, one frame is taken and examined. If the hundred is old and dirty, then the bees should be shaken into a new hive. The frame should be removed into a special box. The remaining bees are transplanted in the same way.
3. All clean honeyframes need to be transferred to a new hive, next to them should be put a frame with a breakdown of bees. In the spring it is especially recommended to use hives with a removable bottom. In this case, you can replace the old bottom to the new, without replacing the rest of the hive.
4. It is important to reduce the bee nest. Otherwise, the transplanting bees will be meaningless. In the abbreviated nest, it is necessary to clean the free territory. In order to be more convenient to remove the next site, the frames shifted.
5. The new hive is also placed frames with an undeveloped marketrol. Old frames with mold and other pathologies should be placed in the wax. To perform the transplanting process, the bees in the new hive spring is enough to pay only 10-15 minutes.

Selection and renain of bees in summer and in the period of Ryoki

Of the simple hives, it rarely arises the need to perform the selection of bees during the Ryoki period, since it is necessary to make a molding, then whole wagons are driven out of these hives. If the need for the selection of bees from a simple beehive appeared, then this is done using the selection of bees from under the jack with the help of bees in the basket. To do this, it is convenient to use the scoop. It is best to do it early in the morning or in the evening. The bees are usually dropped from below, because it is there that they accumulate in more quantities. It should be done very carefully in order not to unwind bees.

As for Dadanov, the bees are selected during the Ruika period much more often, it is mainly done if necessary to make a chain.

There are several ways to select:

1. Through the swelling of the Roy, sitting on the gate when opening the hive.
2. With the help of the head, the bee up to the store, and the subsequent fragmentation of them from there using a scoop.
3. With the help of fragmentation of bees from under the drift, hanging tight below.
4. Using the extraction of cells and the subsequent shading or sweeping of bees sitting on them.

If there is a need for a renovation of bees in the summer, then portable boxes are usually used, which were previously described, or straw baskets. Immediately it is worth saying that it is more convenient to use boxes. The deeper the container, the faster it will be possible to collect the swarm. This is due to the fact that from such boxes it takes much less bees when opening the lid or during shaking. If you decide to use the basket, it should have a maximum of 450 millimeters. If a box is used, then it can be added to it over the second to reduce the care of the bees.

Squeezing is easier if there is a fruit uterus in it. The fact is that when the uterus is planted in a cell, and the cell is placed on the bottom of the portable box, then its bees will quickly gather around it. At the untreated young uterus collected in the bee box do not pay almost no attention. Therefore, this is an important point. In general, without using the uterus, it is very difficult to pour bees in a box or basket.

If there is a need to assemble a family without a fifty uterus, then the bees in the box will not hold on to the box. They will crawl throughout the basket or drawer. Therefore, it is necessary to do everything very quickly. At the same time, each time you should shake the box in order for the collected bees to be attacked. In addition, it is necessary to let into a capacity of a little smoke into the container, and you also need to acquaint the cell, and then close the quick box.

If placed in one vessel bees from different inquiry, they can start fighting. In this case, you need to shake the vessel well and put a little smoke there. It should calm bees. Bees collected to the fruit uterus will never fight.

In any case, when the bees are already collected in the box, it should:

1. Shake hard so that all bees accumulate at the bottom. Do it extremely gently.
2. After that, you need to remove the throat.
3. Quickly and very tightly cover the drawer with a lattice lid.
4. Insert pegs into the holes so that the lid does not accidentally open.
5. After that, the box is ready for carrying.

When the bees, the bees from cells or shutters must be monitored to ensure that the feather is used to be maintained wet. Otherwise, it will be angry bees.

Bees who are sitting in front of a tray top of the hive, do not need to touch. In order to collect them, follows:

1. Severand in front of the hollow a special bandage.
2. Belt a little bees with water.
3. Bees will become wet, and they can be collected in the box to the rest of the inhabitants of the hive.
4. After that, you need to put the box in the sun or near the warm stove so that the bees are dried.

Important comments when collecting or replacing bees

1. Box or basket must be chosen correctly in terms of the ratio with the family, which is planned to be collected. If you take too little box and collect a lot of bees in it, they can suffocate from the heat. If you need to ply with a large size, then you need to take a laptop bigger box. Such a box except the grid lid on the sides must be holes. When using a basket, it needs to be tied very rarely bandage. Otherwise, the bees can also suffocate. In general, it is very important to ensure that the rapid bees are not in the sun. Best box to put in a cool dark place. Box or basket with collected bees need to lay a mesh side. Otherwise, the bees will not be enough air.
2. If it is not planned to immediately transplant the bees in the hive hive, then you must definitely put honey inside the drawer or basket so that they do not die with hunger. Otherwise, some bees may not even live until the morning.
3. If you need to hold the bee under the grill or a bandage longer than until the morning, then after giving them honey, you need to put a box in a dark room or enveloped. Otherwise, seeing the light, they will strive for him, which is why they will grow strongly.
