The spring season is one of the busiest seasons for raising and breeding bees. There is so much going on that you have to be prepared for. Of course, proper management has been done during the fall and winter seasons.
There are two things that go on in spring to your bees which is brood rearing and swarming
The process where by young bees are maintained is called brood rearing. In order to maintain young bees pollen is needed. When there is not enough pollen that is stored in the hive, then brood rearing can be effected. In order to avoid this, pollen substitutes should be used.
Swarming is another big issue that may have to be managed as well. Swarming is the process by which bees begin creating new colonies from the colony of bees that are in the hive. Many times the queen bee leaves the nest along with the worker bees in the swarming season.
Being a beekeeper, this can be an important issue because if your colony successfully swarms then this will allow your colony to die. So make sure you don't allow swarming to take place. But this is difficult because the process of swarming is natural.
Two things that you can do to prevent swarming is to obtain a new queen bee that can produce eggs in your colony and never stop or another suggestion would be to clip the wings of the queen bee to ensure that they are unable to leave the colony. - 20767
