Replacement of the uterus in the hive – This is a necessary measure, which enhances bees and increasing brood.
A replacement 1 every 2 years, at Multiple hive – 1 once a year.
Why being replaced uterus?
The second or custom to the third year of life loses its fertility Mother bees.
Some sources we can find information on, uterus lives quietly and lays eggs within 3-4 years.
Nowhere said, that in young individuals 95% experiencing winter, Mother bees in after 2 years is safely wintering in 60% cases, Beer and older mother 3 years 70% cases dies.
also after 2 years of uterine individual can face the fact, it lays drone eggs in large quantities.
Family with older uterus, paradoxically, gives to 20% less honey and weakens.
A quiet change uterus
Also cause rapid replacement of any cancer (even the youngest) can become hooked brood, which appears in the absence of overflight or short term.
Humpback brood may appear immediately or within a month.
The third and final reason for replacing the individual parent families is evil.
Bee Mom sends her insect genetics, and if she irascible character, the whole family will be the.
There are cases, when families are so evil, that suit them and scary.
In summary, conclude: after wintering need to be concerned about replacing a uterus in early spring, so that they can prepare the family to medosbora, and in May-June breeding mares with good genetics and power, observing the behavior of each bdzholosim'yi.

How is the replacement of queen bees: way samosminy
Quiet replacement is, after aging former queen bees create a new
A few decades ago was seen on apiaries, that old females and least able to replace their own family.
Samosmina made in such cases:
- smell: old mother bee is distinguished by its smell, who hear the bees;
- weakness, reducing the intensity of fertility.
A quiet change uterus lies in insect blood – it self and nothing more.
There are several ways to replace quiet, Let's consider the most effective.
Method one: family division
This method is chosen 6 framework of land and family, which is divided into 2 roughly equal parts.
Does not matter, as part gets uterus, importantly, To each part was sat down one day.
The part, which was left without a uterus, lay its larvae available, as they remain the queen.
Through 16 days bowls come new parent specimen. waiting on 3 to 7 days, until the family gets used to it and will come into force, and 2 of families unite.
IN 99% new queen bee kills old.
Method two: artificial uterus old injury
The second way is, that old beekeeper own crippling uterus, but does not kill it.
Further, everything is just: bees feel, their queen damaged, unable to reproduce and kill it, and then 16 days derive new womb.
Other methods of planting new parent individuals in the hive
In addition to the quiet replacement, which can pass fail, There is a way to create artificial uterus.
Through replanting cell and cap
In order to understand themselves "orphans" without mom to bees need no more 2 hours, but fidelity can wait 12.
In order to implement this method should proceed as follows:
- Take cell, find the old queen and put her "under lock and key".
- It is necessary to wait about 2 hours, cell leaked to smell old parent individuals, and then to replace: remove old uterus, A young plant. No matter how hard it may sound, but some apiaries old queen rubbed cell, so it probably leaked it smell.
- After all these manipulations cage mounted on the upper frame, in the center of the nest.
- Again wait 1-2 hours and check, or a new motherboard specimen feed bees. If so, then the cell opened and everything is in order.
You can also seal the cell Wax: bees, taking her, prohryzut themselves for it out.
Replanting because the cap does not differ from the method of the cell, only bees making its way through her cell.
The trouble is, if the new individual will not have them for the soul, the whole family will watch with interest for her painful death from starvation.
Method shaking bees
This method bees shaken to the eye or right in the hive, they come in confusion and forget uterus.
According to experienced beekeepers, method is meaningless: shaking the bees does not lead to their confused state, most of all angry, and substituted specimen Family calculate the smell.
Aromatization family and uterus
One of the most effective method: bees and their future mother sprayed water with mint drops or drops pure in the hive.
You can also use water pidtsukrovanu, sweet uterus because insects do not kill, and in the process get used to it licking.
Pidsadzhuvannya individual bees to parent
Usually, This method uses an empty hive and mint drops.
How to change the uterus
In the evening a house sprayed drops, and in the morning form vidvodok young insects, placing it near strong family.
Later in the afternoon to parent layers pidselyuyut individuals in cage.
After the first flyby of the uterus and the onset of fertility united family, removing old uterus.
This method is very similar to the quiet replacement, because when combining old uterus can not remove: bees themselves will find it and destroy the hive.
In any case, Family finds strong uterus, bees do not bother, and the family is strengthened.
Uterine sprinkled with flour and landing on the eye
By bezmatochnoyi parent family a seat specimen, previously covered her cap.
After a night, conducted with family, person cap removed, showered her plain flour.
You can also sprinkle flour on neighboring frames. This method has been posted on the forum beekeeping and the author guarantees, that in 100% Bee cases take a new mom.
Landing on the eye – it's quite a strange way, born in forums. Uterus just put on the eye and sent to the side entrance of the hive.
A week in the hive there are testicles, bees and easily recognize this mother.
How to understand, that the bees did not accept the womb?
Signs of hostility to the new uterus are as follows:
- When planting in the cell bees attacked her, trying to push the cage sting.
- The family does not feed new womb, kills in the quiet old replacement.
Parent individual runs: what to do in this case,?
Happens so, that planted a new family and nervous young queen at a reasonable opportunity escapes.
In this case it is recommended to anoint wings individual liquid honey: it fails to take off, bees and cleaned it yourself.
Another recommended on 3-4 hours uterus put in a room with temperatures above 6 ° C, so that it becomes inactive.
But insect and may die, Therefore, the method is not considered safe. If the uterus is still flown, then click on the hive 15-20 minutes, perhaps, it will return.
Take care, that the hive is not penetrated brazen thief.
