Queen bee breeding process

Abstract

The queen rearing process includes forming the nurse bee colony by removing the queen comb from the nest and 2-3 combs with uncapped brood, introducing the frame with transferred larvae into the nest between the frames with capped brood and feeding the nurse bees with a mixture of 50% sugar syrup and Choline Chloride aqueous solution, in an amount of 0.5 L of the mixture per bee colony, daily for 5 days, from the introduction of the frame with transferred larvae until the brood is capped.
