不同类型巢脾与饲料对小型蜜蜂交尾箱应用的影响

Effect of Different Comb and Feeding Selection on the Application of Honeybee Mini-mating Hive

小型蜜蜂交尾箱可以有效减少种用蜂群用蜂量,提高蜂王交尾成功率,缓解交尾场地限制,增加单位面积场地种蜂王繁育数量。目前小型蜜蜂交尾箱在我国使用率较低,在应用过程中存在适应性问题。巢脾类型及饲料类型在小型蜜蜂交尾箱适应性应用中尤为关键,空置巢脾在蜂群分蜂性及种蜂王繁育时间上显著优于其他类型。流蜜期期间的蜂群群势增长及种蜂王繁育时间显著优于其他类型。因此,小型蜜蜂交尾箱的应用采用空置巢脾并在大流蜜期为最佳。而非流蜜期可以饲喂混合糖水及少量花粉,有利于交尾蜂王的产卵及幼虫孵化。明确了小型蜜蜂交尾箱的使用方法,可以加快小型蜜蜂交尾箱的推广和应用。

Honeybee mini-mating hive could effectively reduce the quantity of mating bees, improve the queen mating success rate, save apiary space for mating, and increase queen bee breeding population. At present, the mini-mating hive usage rate is low in our country, and there are some adaptation problems existing in application process. The comb frame type and feedstuff type are key issues in applying honeybee mini-mating hive. Vacant comb frame is obviously superior than other types in the swarm swarming sex and during queen bee breeding time. During honey flow season, the colony development and queen bee breeding is obviously superior than other types. Therefore, the best use of mini-mating hive is using the vacant comb frame during large honey flow season. Syrup and a small amount of pollen were fed during no-honey flow season. This way would encourage the mating queen to lay eggs and the larvae to hatch. After fully understanding the application method of honeybee mini-mating hive, the popularization and application of honeybee mini-mating hive could be speeded up.
