Increase in apiary - natural process for experienced beekeepers. They also admit that it is rather simple to expand apiary. The only thing that needs to be considered at increase, is what bee families you want to populate it. It is the best of all to expand bee grounds at the expense of representatives of strong families, but not mediocre.
Instruction
1. Quicker to increase apiary, to separate all bee houses in the spring into three main groups. One will be necessary to you for reproduction, and others will be necessary for further rasplod and the subsequent medosbor. That is it turns out that for one new family, two old answer.
2. For each new family it is possible to take separate frame where they will lay eggs. Put it to certain place in free beehive, warm it and it is abundant feed up bees forage. When, as a result of rasplod, about 6 full frames are occupied, it is necessary to start sharing of other families, those which are intended in the help. It is necessary that bees have begun to crowd and even more actively to postpone matochnik.
3. In 5-7 days the procedure of sharing is repeated. The number of bees increases considerably, and it means that the number of wet nurses grows up too. And matochnik turn out more. As soon as in matochnik larvae appear, uterus replace the main bee in other beehive with new framework for further reproduction. There add rasplod from substitute families again and again wait for 6-7 days. After that the family is divided into three parts again and settled on different beehives. Thus, in different bee houses equally it appears capable bees.
4. When matochnik begin to leave uterus, in 7-10 days they already lay eggs. Thus, there is continuous process of reproduction of posterity: both uterus, and bees wet nurses. Experts assure: at such way of the accelerated reproduction of bees, the apiary can be increased easily twice in 2-3 months.
5. That the next year the gain of your apiary occurred much quicker, try that on wintering only the strongest bees left. Well wintered, such family in the middle of the spring will be able already to occupy about 10 frames. So that chances to receive posterity quicker at you it will be much bigger. These strong families have the necessary potential which experienced beekeepers willingly use. Therefore these families more willingly and often crowd, so, and increase your apiary.
