Do bees find nests in advance before dividing bees?

Bees don't look for nests, they build their own nests.

The preparatory work before bee sorting includes: building an unmanned machine room, cultivating drones, building a queen bee platform, laying eggs on the platform and cultivating the queen bee. After the hive appeared in the hive, the worker bees forced the queen bee to lay eggs in the hive, and began to reduce the feeding of the queen bee, so that the queen bee's abdomen contracted and the queen bee laid eggs gradually decreased.

Before and after the queen bee platform was sealed, the worker bees stopped providing royal jelly to the queen bee, and the queen bee's abdomen further contracted to meet the needs of flying when the queen bee split. Worker bees reduce their attendance and stop making spleen. Many worker bees gather in the empty space in the nest and the upper corner of the nest spleen. If a large number of worker bees gather in front of the nest and hang beards, bee separation will occur in the near future.

Bee sorting conditions:

First of all, the pollen and honey sources outside are particularly rich and the temperature is suitable. At this time, bees will divide, so pay attention to checking bees. Because there is enough feed for bees outside, there is enough pollen and honey for bees to collect after grouping. If the honey source is sufficient, the bee's spleen is good, and the spleen is good, the bee will divide the bees.

The bee colony is strong, the queen bee information released by the old queen bee is insufficient, the hive space is small, or the bee colony has too much honey, etc., which will make the bee colony hot.

However, it is not a good thing to divide bee fever into big honey flow periods. Bees don't collect honey when they share the fever during the big honey flow period. During the big honey flow period, honey gathering should be the main task, so Bian Xiao thinks it is best not to divide bees. To eliminate bee fever, bees can be divided manually when it is not the main honey flow period.

Just remember, when there is enough powder and honey outside and the temperature is suitable, check the bees every 5 to 7 days to avoid bees escaping and causing unnecessary losses.
