Knowing friends will know that beekeepers often use beeswax to lure bees, so what are the benefits of using beeswax to lure bees?
1. Beeswax can attract detective bees
In the spring, when the outside powder is sufficient, the bee colony will develop rapidly and the situation of dividing bees will appear. If beekeepers want to successfully trap wild bee colonies for artificial breeding, they can put a lot of trapping tools into the wild, such as old beehives, wooden barrels, plastic barrels and other tools. To increase the success of bee-trapping tools, various trapping tools can be burned or brushed with beeswax, which can attract the arrival of detective bees.
2. Beeswax will not attract ants
In March of the spring, the outside world is a good time for flowers to bloom. The bee colony in the wild is well developed and strong due to the sufficient honey powder, and the phenomenon of bee fever will naturally occur. For beekeepers to succeed in attracting bees, it is necessary to grasp the peak period of bee-dividing and put trapping tools into the wild. These trapping tools are best to brush or burn beeswax with the smell of honey powder. Because the trapping tool is better for burning beeswax than using honey syrup to lure and detect bees, at least beeswax will not attract a large number of ants like honey water to interfere with the bee trapping effect.
3. Beeswax makes the bee colony find a place
In the middle of spring, the outside world is full of honey powder, and it is also the time when the wild bee colony develops the strongest. If the beekeeper wants to increase the number of bees or find the colony of the bee colony, he can use beeswax with the fragrance of honey to burn or brush in various trapping tools. In this way, it is easy to find the scented bees in the wild through the fragrance of beeswax to the trapping tool location. Once the investigating bees lead the large troops over, the beekeeper can wait for the bees to collect.
4. Beeswax can improve the rate of attracting bees
Beeswax is the substance used to build the spleen in the middle bee colony. Because beeswax is the raw material for building the spleen of the nest, it will have the smell of honey powder or bee colony. If the beekeeper wants to make use of sufficient external powder, the bee colony enters the peak period of bee division to improve the success rate of trapping bee colony, then the bee wax brush can be used to lure bee tools, so that the smell of beeswax is emitted in the trap tool to attract the wild Detective bees came to investigate, to improve the success rate of attracting bees, and bring beekeepers a big harvest.
In summary, the advantage of beeswax for bee-trapping is that it can strengthen the attraction of investigating bees, and it will not be easy to attract ants to interfere with the detection of bees to find the location of the trapping tool, thereby improving the beekeeper's ability to trap wild bees in the wild. The success rate has increased the number of bee colonies brought to beekeepers.
