MAKE SPLITS [1 record]

Record 1 2003-06-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Beekeeping
CONT

If [the bees] have the tendency to want to swarm, make splits (divide the hive into two or several) or pull several frames of brood which you can add to weak hives and put several frames of fresh foundation frames right into the middle of the brood area. This exercises their wax-producing glands and consumes their swarming energies.

OBS

Split: A split is taking some frames of brood and bees from the strong overwintered colony in the spring and making up a new hive.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Élevage des abeilles
CONT

Lorsqu'on dispose d'un certain nombre de reines, on peut diviser une ruche F.H. en portion de 5 à 6 cadres, chaque portion recevra une reine, sauf celle qui possède la reine régnante. La seule précaution qu'il faille prendre c'est de ne pas constituer des colonies trop faibles qui seraient alors vouées à la mort n'étant pas capables de se défendre.
