There is no specific standard for choosing the direction of honeycomb door opening, but to choose the correct direction, we should pay attention to the following aspects. Choose an open place, without a high shelter in front, so that bees can move easily. There are some trees around this place.
The temperature that bees like is between 15 and 25 degrees. After mastering the temperature that bees like, it is necessary to do a good job of keeping warm. The sun rises and sets in the west, so direct sunlight should be avoided. So it is best for bees to nest in the north-south direction. Especially in autumn and winter, if the beehive door faces the north wind mouth, it will reduce the temperature in the beehive and even freeze the bees in the beehive, so open the beehive door in the direction of fewer bees.
When opening the hive door for bees, it depends on their strength. If the colony potential of bees is strong, it means that the temperature in the hive is high, the colony potential of bees is strong, and bees produce more bee eggs, which will produce a lot of water and moisture. At this time, the beehive door will open in this direction where there are many bees, which is conducive to drainage. If the bee colony is weak, the temperature in the hive will be correspondingly low, so we should do a good job of keeping warm and open the door of bees in this direction where there are few bees.
If it comes to autumn and winter, it is necessary to properly narrow the hive door, keep the temperature inside the hive, let the queen bee lay eggs normally, and narrowing the hive door can also reduce the invasion of northwest wind. In the process of keeping bees, we should also be careful not to be disturbed by wasps, ants, cattle, sheep and other animals at the door of the hive.
