1. Seed filling Bees
If the cage is ready, breeders live bees fill it with seeds that are free from pests and diseases. Per cage, ungul bee species imported, Apis mellifera, can produce about 45 kg of honey per year. Local honey bee, Apis indica, 7 kg per year.Seed selection can be done by purchasing a new colony of worker bees contains approximately 8000-12000 tail, or 4-6 frames per colony nest. The new seeds can also be obtained by breaking the strong colony nest, or catch the runaway colony.Seedlings bees moved into a new home in the evening to make it easier. The trick, close the box and a new raised honeycomb enclosure, so that left only penelurannya box. Long cage is opened. Combs attached wooden nest sliced ​​one by one and tied with raffia rope pad frames, nesting boxes and placed in a new home maintenance. All comb nest in the old stables have removed all. Let no one was left behind. If left his queen, all bees do not want to occupy a new home.If completed, the insulation on top of the frames mounted slowly by allowing the bees to go down. If all the bees are already in the nesting box, it means that the work was in order. Furthermore just attach honeycomb box with the frames and insulation on it.After closing the roof is installed, the cage has bee prepared is placed in a safe place.

Not be harvested which have not been covered. Honey in cells that have not been closed still contains a lot of water. Honey as it is easily damaged due to fermentation.Keep in a beehive there are always eggs and larvae that colonies of bees in cages do not run away to leave the nest. Feed supplies should be kept quite, so no possibility to move bee colonies
