Will the bee colony run when the queen bee is dead?

The main role of the queen bee in the colony is to lay eggs. In fact, the bee colony must also rely on the queen to supplement new bees, otherwise the outcome of the bee colony will basically be inevitable. In the bee production, the accidental death of the queen bee is common. Some things, let ’s take a look at whether the bee colony will run if the queen is dead!

1, make the king’s platform

When the queen bee is dead, the colony may rush to create a king table to breed a new king. The principle is that the worker bee larva can develop into a queen if it has been eating royal jelly. The condition is that there must be small larvae of the right age worker bees in the colony and the colony must be strong enough. The process is that the worker bees urgently transform some of the small larvae of the worker bee to the king’s platform. After the new king emerges from the house and mates with the drone, the colony continues Development, that is to say, when the queen bee dies and can rush to make the queen, the swarm will not run.

2, Worker bees spawn

When the queen is dead, some worker bees in the colony may start to lay eggs. The principle is that worker bees are actually female bees with a certain reproductive ability.However, even if the eggs produced by the worker bees can successfully hatch, they can only develop into drones, and the drone does not have any substantial help in saving the lost king group. Therefore, when the queen is dead and cannot rush to make the king, some worker bees will lay eggs and eventually die.

3, manual remedy

1. The most direct way for the queen bee to die is to intervene in the new queen bee, but the premature or late time of the king will affect the success rate. The king of the premature worker is apt to repel the interventional queen when the king is too early. Wang is also more troublesome.
2. If the queen bee is dead, you can intervene in a mature queen platform for the bee colony. As long as the queen colony is out of the house, the bee colony can be continued. The advantage is that the queen colony is easier to accept the queen platform than the king. Relatively long.
3. If the queen bee is dead, you can transfer some egg spleen from other bee colonies. The principle is to let the bee colony rush to make the king’s platform to cultivate a new queen bee colony. Can transfer some lids to the spleen.
