Use Beeswax To Artificially Build The Honeycomb Base Via A Pressing Tool Device !

In the Video, people is using Beeswax to Build a base Via a tool, then Bees will Build a Honeycomb themselves on that foundation !That is the artificial beekeeping technique ! In Short, Help Bees Build a house base ! Beeswax : Something to build a beehive Beeswax is the wax secreted by four pairs of wax glands in the abdomen of bees (workers). Bees secrete liquid wax from wax glands and wax scales are white, opaque and irregularly pentagonal. 1kg of beeswax contains about 4 million wax scales. Bees need 50 wax scales to build a worker house, and 120 wax scales to build a drone house. Strong colonies can produce 2kg or more of wax scales in a spring or summer season to build nests. Beeswax is solid at room temperature and has a special flavor of honey and powder. The color is light yellow, medium yellow or dark brown and white. The cross section is the crystal shape of small particles. Chewing sticky teeth, chewing white, no grease taste. The specific gravity is , and the melting point is 62-67℃. Studies have found that beeswax can dissolve in benzene, toluene, chloroform and other organic solvents, slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in water, but under certain conditions, beeswax can form emulsion with water. The main chemical composition of beeswax can be divided into four categories, namely esters, free acids, free alcohols and hydrocarbons. In addition, it also contains trace amounts of volatile oil and pigment. The composition of yellow and white beeswax is basically the same. Beeswax is also said to contain an aromatic colored substance called cerin. Honeycomb Base/Foundation : The foundation of the artifical bee nest The base of the nest is the base of the artificial bee nest house, which is the basis for the bee to build the nest spleen. It is divided into two kinds: wax nest base and plastic nest base. There are two main types of nest foundation: wax nest foundation and plastic nest foundation. Beekeepers mainly use wax nest foundation. Wax nest foundation is made of beeswax as the main raw material and pressed by the nest foundation machine, including the honeycomb foundation and the honeycomb foundation, which are used by Chinese bees and western bees respectively. The nest spleen produced by using the nest foundation is neat and strong, which is conducive to the feeding and management of the bee colony. The nest foundation used by beekeepers is purchased from specialized nest foundation manufacturers. (1) The base of the nest should be made of pure beeswax, if the content of mineral wax in the base of the nest is high, bees will not secrete wax on it to build spleen. However, all the commodity base produced in our country is not manufactured with real pure beeswax, so it must be carefully selected when buying it, which contains pure beeswax accounting for more than 70%. (2) The eyes of the nest base must be made according to the size standard of the worker hive, the width of the standard honeycomb base cell is mm, the width of the medium honeycomb base cell is mm, and the whole nest spleen must be smooth, the eyes are consistent, and there is no drone room. (3) The foundation of the nest is strong and not easy to deform.
