Although the queen bees in the colony do not collect honey and do not secrete beeswax to build their nests, their spawning has a direct impact on the development of bee colonies and honey production. In a group of bees, if there is an excellent queen bee, the amount of honey produced in normal years can reach 40-50 kilograms, and it can be divided into 1 to 3 boxes of new bee colonies. Therefore, to keep bees, be sure to choose an excellent queen bee.
Young queen bees in the colony, although generally can live 4 to 5 years, but after 2 years, spawning ability will gradually weaken. Therefore, it is better to choose the queen to choose young, with 1 to 2 years old.
The body length of the queen bee is long, the ovary tube is long, and there will be more spawns. In general, good queens with a body length of about 25 mm should be selected and should not be shorter than 20 mm in length.
Individuals are usually under normal circumstances, a large body weight of the queen bee, genital development, spawning and more, in the spawning period, can produce 1,000 to 2,000 eggs per day. The total weight of eggs can often exceed the weight of the queen bee itself. Generally, good queens weighing more than 300 mg should be selected.
A good queen spawning ability, not only to be able to spawn more than a thousand grains per day, but also to produce the eggs to be neat, only to produce 1 spleen after another spleen to produce. If a queen bee spawns only a few hundred grains a day, and is spawned on the spleen, there are dozens of grains produced there, dozens of grains produced there, very irregular, it will affect the development of bee colonies and honey production, should be eliminated.
