Abstract:

Honeybee mini\|mating hive  could effectively reduce the quantity of mating bees, improve the queen mating success rate, save apiary space for mating, and increase queen bee breeding population. At present, the mini\|mating hive usage rate is low in our country, and there are some adaptation problems existing in application process. The comb frame type and feedstuff type are key issues in applying honeybee mini\|mating hive. Vacant comb frame is obviously superior than other types in the swarm swarming sex and during queen bee breeding time. During honey flow season, the colony development and queen bee breeding is obviously superior than other types. Therefore, the best use of mini\|mating hive is using the vacant comb frame during large honey flow season. Syrup and a small amount of pollen were fed during no\|honey flow season. This way would encourage the mating queen to lay eggs and the larvae to hatch. After fully understanding the application method of honeybee mini\|mating hive, the popularization and application of honeybee mini\|mating hive could be speeded up.

Key words: honeybee mini\, mating hive, frame comb selectivity, feedstuff selectivity
