Even a novice beekeeper always tell the uterus from the working bees.Make it absolutely easy.This main female in the hive that lives much longer than ordinary bees.It is two and sometimes three times larger and, unlike the latter has full reproductive system.On how it will be fruitful, it depends directly on the strength of the family.
In the hive, she performs one single function - to produce clutch of eggs, which later displayed the drones and working individuals.In a single year period she can put them up to 120 - 200 thousand. The uterus stretch bee is in the hive, and leaves it only in order to meet the drones.An interesting fact is that it can be a long time to keep the semen inside, using it gradually to lay more and more eggs.
it particularly productive in the first 2 years of his life.All the time she lays her eggs, her caring specially assigned entourage - worker bees.Substitution ewes usually performed in the third year, but, of course, only if they reduce their productivity.You must first inspect the hive.Young breeder lays eggs in all the cells in a row.Old or sick misses them.If it is noticed breeder must be replaced.
uterus bees can lay only two eggs - fertilized from which the workers and other individuals of the uterus, and infertile, of which subsequently come drones.Worker bees clean it and feed on pollen and jelly.Going to the cell, the queen sends to her abdomen and lays a small oblong egg.However, always makes a preliminary inspection - how well cleaned future dwelling larvae.
Sometimes it happens that the queen bee, the photo which you can see below, is killed.This is most often to blame himself a beekeeper.He can crush it when viewed from a hive, keeping the frame is not over it, drop the uterus to the ground, where it is a short period of time to die.In this case, the bees 6 - 8:00 chosen few larvae and begin to fatten their hard jelly.The cells, in which they evolve, expand and build on.
uterus bees are grown in this way is called a fistula.In most cases, the breeder does not yield swarms.However, if no bees choose one-day, four-day and three-larva therefrom will uterus poor quality.The family can suffer greatly from this.Meanwhile, if desired, from a potentially substandard hive queens can be released.To do this, remove all the queen cells, which have been sealed within four days after laying.
torque output start a new bee breeder should try not to miss.The fact that the four-queen bees will come out quickly and immediately destroy all day.Only a very strong family working individuals are not allowed her to this.In this case, the swarming happens together with a swarm of flies away and the worst of the uterus.Breeder flies out of the hive several times until you mate with drones.
This occurs only if the outside is rainy weather.With its length of more than 20 days, the uterus begins to lay eggs only empty.Drone cells differentiate from cells of worker bees is simple: they have a convex cap.Such a uterus, which is also called a drone, will need to be replaced as soon as possible.
