Why bees don’t come out of the nest?

Honeybees are insects that feed on flowers (nectar and pollen). Honeybees collect honey is almost everyone’s knowledge. However, sometimes bees are not found in bee production, In fact, there are some conditions for bees to leave the nest, otherwise the bees may stay in the beehive and not go out. Let ’s take a look at why the bees do n’t come out!

1, there is no honey flowing from the honey source

The premise for bees to collect honey is that there are honey sources available to collect. If there is no honey source, there is no need to collect honey. Do n’t worry about the bees not leaving the nest caused by this situation, The beekeeper only needs to ensure that there is enough food in the bee colony, and when there is a source of honey, the bees will naturally go out to collect nectar and pollen.

2, the external temperature is uncomfortable

Honeybees will go out to collect nests only when the outside temperature is suitable. Low or high temperatures may cause honeybees not to go out of the nest. For example, honeybees form clusters in the hive to resist the severe cold in winter, At this time, even if there is a honey source outside, the bees do not go out to collect, and the bee colony is often in a semi-dormant state when it encounters extreme hot weather in summer.

3, The bee colony has lost the king

The queen bee is the most core and indispensable member of the bee colony. In addition to spawning, the queen can maintain the order of the bee colony. The worker bees with the queen bee can actively collect from the nest, and losing the queen may lead to the bee Not out of the nest, This phenomenon is particularly obvious in the weak group, so the bees do not want to observe whether they have lost the king.

4, the number of worker bees is too small

The low number of worker bees in the colony is an important reason why the bees do not come out of the nest. For example, some beekeepers blindly add the spleen for rapid reproduction, As a result, field bees have to stay in the hive to feed the larvae.

5, The bee colony is unstable

Bees are typical social insects and perform their duties, but sometimes the order of the bee colony may be disordered for a short period of time, and the worker bees will also be affected during the disordered period. There may not be bees out of the nest, in which case the colony can be stabilized quickly by rewarding feeding and keeping quiet.

Summary: In fact, there are many reasons that cause bees not to leave the nest. For example, if the worker bees do n’t leave the nest during the high honey level period, they may lose their king, or there may be a serious lack of nurturing ability. Yes, the beekeeper must find the abnormalities in time and handle them properly.
