Feeding bee colonies with different types of nutrition and concentrations according to different circumstances.

Bees depends on your diet in his effort whereupon the worker bees to collect nectar and pollen from flowers vital to make their bread and honey bees which feed its brood and worker bees and male.

      You as well as worker bees secrete royal food to
feed the modern brood royal jelly In times of inexhaustible food source in the fields or at least community food stocks resort beekeeper to feed sects intravenously sugary as a substitute for nectar and alternatives to pollen as an alternative to it, in order to prevent sects from destruction as a result of hunger or cold to encourage the queen to lay eggs.

Nutrition dates: -

  Advised to feed the community before it performs its reserves of honey and bee bread in no time .. However, there are specific times when nutrition becomes very necessary, namely: -
In the spring and before the beginning of season activity to accelerate the breeding of new brood.
During periods of depletion of sources of nectar and specifying a time period (between the flowers and harvest another crop).
If you have encountered the presence of inappropriate activity bees external circumstances.

Nutrition types: -

There are four types of feed and feed regularly but each and their need and importance will be he knew every one of them by reading the rest of participation.

  1. Nutrition tablets honey.
  2. Nutrition by Candy paste.
  3. Nutrition intravenously different sugary.
  4. Nutrition protein (pollen or substitutes).


Prepare the sugar solution method: -

  1. Is to bring the right amount of sugar, water, and water is heated slightly.
  2. Samar is added to the hot water and stir until completely dissolved and did not see anything from him in the solution.
  3. Reduce heat under the sugar solution and continue to move the process even show him the smell of burning sugar but light.
  4. After that display my this smell of extinguished fire beneath it, and is cooled in a closed room.
  5. After that the solution temperature become diabetic at room temperature shall be given to bee colonies.

The distribution of the sugar solution method: -

The distribution of the sugar solution to bee colonies before sunset to prevent the phenomenon of theft between bee colonies , and each pot is placed in the appropriate position with her Note leave enough space for the passage of bees bottom if put on the tires.
All denominations are fed dissolved in one day.
 Governs the cells lock well.
Vessels where the solution lay in diabetes early the next morning and wash with hot water so as not to permeate the sugar solution and raise the rot.

The importance of pollen in nutrition: -

Will be in the immediate inclusion of the subject in detail about the importance of pollen for beekeepers and the consumer, whether commercial or personal use.

Nutrition in different chapters: -

A) winter: consume community about 50-60 pounds of honey in the winter, and the strength of the community depends on the amount of leaves where the food during this chapter to protect the bees from the cold and the provision of the efforts the entry of an effort to generate the energy needed to raise the sect temperature to suit their living, and it is feeding in this chapter as follows: -
  1. Honey tablets: It offers the best of food for bees and leaves every five discs cell honey.
  2. (Candy): It is the result of saturation of honey with sugar soft with continuous heating and stirring until dough does not stick to be allowed to cool - can also be a solution of workmanship scrap Center 66% castor sugar from sugar cane or beets.
  3. Diabetes Center solution 1: 2 volume on condition of delays for its November and take place in the fast-feeding vessels.

B) Spring: You must provide a large amount of food in early spring and that the worker bees for breeding offending in time to bloom.
Are nutrition intravenously sugary diabetes diluted with a focus on payments and close small quantities and are feeding in a manner rapid nutrition.

C) summer: the weak are fed and intentions of bees or the communities in which they split and provide solutions sugary denominations diluted 1: 1 or diabetes very dilute solution (one sugar - Two water) by the slow feeding method.

D) fall: if the communities by the amount of enough of honey for the passage of the next winter safely, sufficient to feed the bees as in the summer, either if the amount small, nourish communities as in the winter in one of the feeder roads (1 or 3) or the second provided that denominations placed in a shady place well because of the high temperature of the sun in this chapter that lead to melt the dough (Candy) above the bees or completely dry.

Note:
     Provides each community quantity occasion of pollen stored at the beekeeper from last season or in one of the alternatives pollen preferably be natural and easy to digest for bees, and offers this kind of nutrition is always as long as the bee colonies need (the amount of pollen in the hive are few nor it could last), but if the quantity was not enough progress.
