Population of a colony of bees is highly dependent on the quality and potential of queen bees. It really depends on the nature of the strain, maintenance, and the way of cultivation.At principally raising queen bees can be divided into two categories, namely natural and artificial secar.
a. Naturally
Natural beekeeping bee colonies utilize instinct itself to form a candidate for queen bee queen bee old is old age. Naturally, the turn of the queen bee takes place once every 3-5 years. The change was happening because the old queen bee can no longer carry out his duties.Near the turn, honey bee colonies will form the 4-7 cell potential queen bee larvae. Called swarm queen cells when making cell without being subjected to any of the humans. This cell is located in the brushing of the nest, facing down obtrusive. Cell potential queen bee is the best result. If located in the middle of the nest strokes, and stand to the side because the manufacturing is done in haste by a colony of bees, it's called a super cell sedure queen cell.If one candidate has hatched larvae, hatched another candidate who would be killed by bees perkeja.In beekeeping the queen, the attempt must be prevented. Two days before the queen bee larvae hatch (taking into account the life cycle of queen bees), the cells were taken queen bee larvae, and only one cell is left as a candidate for the real queen bee.Other cells are placed in a queen cage, then larvae maintained well into adulthood. Having grown up and grown into a virgin queen bee, she still left hidu in captivity. Can then be incorporated into the bee colonies no queen bee.Introductions to other bees in the colony lasted a day and night. The next day, the queen bee is released from confinement. The next marriage will take place in the air. After returning to the nest, the new queen bees who are married will serve to establish colonies spawn greater.
b. In Artificial
Artificially raising queen bees performed using tools or materials that greatly accelerates the formation of candidates for the queen bee. There are two ways to do, namely the system and the system is found Miller found Doolittle.
How to MillerIn this way, the bee colony has many members are broken down into several smaller colonies. There is only one queen bee colonies that have, other colonies did not have a queen bee. Solving it must be followed by solving strokes nests containing larvae 1-2 days, especially in the colonies that did not have a queen bee. Intuitively, that does not have a bee colony will form a queen bee queen candidates, namely by maintaining the privileges 4-7 bee larvae. The next process as a natural way.There are several things that must be considered in this way. Box Eraman Eraman nest containing four frames and two honeycomb frame. A Eraman frame that already contains a half (without wire) is placed next to the frame Eraman and in the middle of the box Eraman. In a period of seven days will seem bee queen cells.
How to Doolittle
This method uses artificial bowl made of beeswax is melted, then molded in accordance with the size of the larvae of native bee honey cells. Bowl made for the cell potential queen bee larva was placed facing down on a spot basis with a given gawangan nest in the middle. Then the age-bee larvae 1-2 days put in the bowl. Each bowl filled with a larva. Bowl of bees were put in Mudskipper no honeybee queen bee.The larvae will instinctively istemawa fed by the worker bees. The bowl also it closed.Two days ahead of his maturity, leaving a single cell in the hive. The rest take all. Hereinafter the same way in a natural way.How to create and prepare bowls following the queen bee. Print wax mold of the cylindrical timber. 7.7 cm length of the mold with a diameter of 0.8 cm.The mold  dibahasi water, then dipped 1 cm deep into the already melted wax. Lift and let it freeze. Then dip again. Remove and let cool again. And so on up to 4-5 times. the finished bowl mounted on a frame without a wire barrier with a distance of 1 cm antarmangkok. royal jelly bowl filled with a mixture of a little water. Each bowl is filled with bee larva was 12 hours.Grubs age of 12 hours can be made by placing an empty nest box frame Eraman. Leave for four days. Then take. There has been a full 12 hours old larva.Doolittle is a way similar to the way Alley. The difference, in the way Alley, grafting is done when the eggs do not hatch into larvae.
