Beginners Guide to Beekeeping.
Beekeeping is one of the most successful economic projects, and the proceeds from it are the highest undisputed; the price of the wood cell is about 50 Egyptian pounds, and the price of the bee parcel is about 50 pounds, that is, the cost of the bees is 100 pounds. 15 pounds, this means that the value of honey 300 pounds. This is a fact that this community may last for tens of years, ie, its original price is loaded for decades. Not only that, but this cell we started with can be divided in one year from two to three times. This is not all, but we can get royal food and vaccine pills that represent an extra return. The bee population consists of:
1 - Queen One, the only fertile female in the cell, and the only function is egg laying, and has a machine to use it only to kill the competing queens.
2 - There are thousands of female workers in the cell. They are sterile females who do all the tasks of caring for eggs to hatch, feed larvae, build wax tablets, collect and store food, defend and clean the cell, and feed the queen with royal food.
3 - There is also a cell number of males, and these males appear in the cell when the availability of food and weather conditions appropriate .. The only function is to vaccinate virgins (modern queens), and can not do any other work, and does not have a machine to bite. It is worth mentioning that the workers kill all males at the end of the nectar season, so that cells are completely male in winter. * The creation of the wooden cell: The cells are made of wood to withstand the weather conditions, and is painted from the outside only in gray, and the cell consists of the following parts:
1 - cell holder: has four legs, and installed the flight board. 2. Base: preferably thick (1.5 cm), with edges of both sides.
3 - Fund of education: the bottom box; where the brood is raised, and 10 frames.
4 - Interior cover: of thin wood box area, with a vent for ventilation.
5 - honey box: is allocated to honey, may be added to the cell more than a honey box, and separate the inner cover containing the barrier honey box queens from the Education Fund (Queens is a wire allows the passage of workers and does not allow the passage of the Queen).
6 - Outer cover: Made of wood, and install a layer of zinc to protect the cell from the rain.
7 - The wooden door: a rectangular piece of wood, with a large opening for the summer, and a narrow opening of the winter.
8 - wooden frames: 20 protruding with a solid wire and wax base. * How do you create a sculpture? Beekeeping can be done in the backyard or on rooftops, and some amateurs will be raising bees in one of the rooms of the house in glass cells with a hole leading out. A hobbyist can take care of 25 communities in his spare time. Location of the dissolved: It must be close to the orchards and fields, and be in an area easy to transport, isolated from the public road; so as not to hurt pedestrians, and be away from the barns foul smell, and away from the areas where there are frequent wasp dates, and disturbing areas such as rail . Number of denominations: preferably starting with a small number, then increase the division number in the following years, and improve the start of ten communities; Preparation of the place: Prefer to work on the wall around the dissolved brick or woven or shrubs of fences .. Trees are planted falling leaves such as berries, providing shade in the summer and the sun in the winter, or the work of cubes of the Baghdadi wood roof, and climb on the loaf or grapes or covered with mats. A room is needed to sort the honey and another to store the tools. The empty cells are placed so that the distance between each cell and another is about one meter and its openings are to the south side so that the sun can be received in the morning. Beehives: Bees are purchased from a reliable source (such as agricultural colleges). The bee parcel (five quartets with a bee and a hen and a queen) is sold for about 50 pounds and transported in a sealed travel box. Each box - still closed - is placed on top of the cell The wood will be inhabited, and two days later the honeycomb frames purchased will be placed in the wooden cell. * Bee care (beekeeping) It is necessary to protect the beekeeper from bee sting, especially if the bees are fierce. Some species are quiet, you do not need any special clothing, but beginners - especially - wear a thick cloth coat, a face mask and two gloves. A smoker is also required to calm the bees by placing a roll of flaming wood.
It also requires a lever or knife to move the frames, and a thin brush to remove the bees from above the wax disks. Honeysuckle operations
1- Fixing foundation wax in wooden frames: The base wax is purchased, which is beeswax, which is melted and turned into foil such as paper, and the hexagonal eyes are printed on both sides. The galvanized steel wire is tightened with the fixing of it in the frames - as in the shape - and then the base wax is inserted behind the odds with the tight behavior (we may use the fixing wheel to wire the wire into the wax), and then insert the base wax tip into the bottom of the top Wax is fused in Hungary ..
These frames are equipped in winter and add to the strong cells; where the bees to plant this wax or build the six eyes above it after the eyes printed on it.
2 - Cell examination: Bees are examined every week in the spring and summer, while this rate is lower in the fall, and can be examined once a month in winter .. The purpose of the examination is to ensure the existence of the Queen and the demolition of royal houses that if left to produce virgins lead As well as for the purposes of the examination, the addition of more frames with wax base or the result of sorting if the cell is strong or add incubation frames from another cell to strengthen the weak cells ... Etc.
Examination time:
The examination is done from 9 am to 3 pm, so that the bees have a fierce intercourse in the field; which facilitates examination, and should avoid the examination during
