How do you think beehives keep ants and cockroaches away?

Fill some boxes with water around the beehive, and then the ants will definitely not be able to climb up. If conditions permit, put some orange-colored cockroach repellent next to it, so that the ants will not come near.

To prevent ants from beehives, beekeepers usually put up the beehives on a stand, which can prevent 90% of ants. But never use Baichongling, which will poison the bees. Also, do not use it on empty beehives. Brother Xian, the medicine has a long-lasting effect. Once I used it to prevent termites on an empty beehive. Half a year later, I used it to raise bees. All the bees died overnight, not a single beehive was left. The best solution is to find the ant nest and then use the medicine.

Raise the beehive a little bit, and spread a layer of wood ash or lime powder on the bottom of the box to prevent ants and cockroaches from entering. You can also sprinkle a circle of insect powder, which many insects are afraid of.

The specific method is to use bricks or wooden boards to raise the four corners of the beehive by more than 20 cm from the ground, and at the same time apply tung oil, asphalt and other things that ants don't like on the padding at the four corners, otherwise ants will crawl into the beehive from these places. Do not put the beehive directly on the ground, otherwise the ants will use practical actions to tell you what it means to be pervasive.

There are ants in the apiary. If we kill the ants, it won't hurt the bees?

1. When ants appear in the bee farm, the most important thing is to block the ants' passages and prevent a large number of ants from entering the beehive. The best way is to use fresh lemons for prevention and treatment. You can cut a fresh lemon in half, squeeze out the lemon juice and sprinkle it on the places where ants are most active. After squeezing, apply the lemon peel with pulp near the beehive. After doing this, the ants will no longer enter the beehive.

2. Using water to isolate is also a good way to treat ants. When placing a beehive, you can dig a small trench about one meter outside the beehive, about 20 centimeters deep, and then put a layer of plastic paper on it, and then pour clean water on it. Ants cannot swim, and they will naturally stop moving forward after seeing the water. In this way, there will be no more ants in the beehive.

Beekeeping Note

1. Site selection: There should be sufficient main nectar sources and auxiliary nectar and pollen sources within a radius of 2.5 kilometers around the site, and the main and auxiliary nectar and pollen sources should be appropriately matched;

2. The site should be selected on a south-facing mountain slope with plenty of sunshine, backed by high mountains as a screen, natural shade from above, south wind in summer and north wind blocked in winter. The soil should be fertile, nectar plants should grow vigorously, the flowering period should be long, water should be sufficient, and transportation should be convenient.

3. Purchase of bee colonies: The best time to purchase in the north is April to May. This is the breeding period for bee colonies, the selection is relatively stable, and the external environment is good, making it easier to successfully raise bee colonies.
