Entrainment is the process of attracting bees into a beehive in order to begin feeding and collecting honey. Here are some detailed tips and methods for attracting bees into the hive:
Site selection: Choose a suitable location to set up the hive, usually in a sunny place away from noise and chemical pollution so that bees can easily find the hive.
Attracting bees: Under suitable season and weather conditions, bee attractants or artificial bees can be attracted, such as using royal pigment, honey, or using special scents that attract bees.
Natural bee nests: If there are already wild bee nests in the surrounding environment, you can try to place the beehive not far from the bees' natural nests, which will make it easier to attract bees.
Utilize existing bees: Look for bee colonies that have already established a hive, and introduce bees that already have a queen and a certain size into the new hive.
Place a hive attractor: A hive attractor is a device filled with honey flavor or honey aroma that is placed next to the hive to help attract wild bees into the hive.
Observe bee flight paths: Observe the flight paths of wild bees in your surroundings, especially the paths they take to find flowers and pollen, and choose to place your hives near these areas to make it easier to attract wild bees.
Use professional tools: Experienced keepers can try using targeted bee traps, such as lasers or sound devices, to assist in luring bees into the hive.
Arrange according to the season: Bees prefer to enter new hives in spring and early summer, so bee attracting operations at this time can achieve better results.
It takes a certain amount of time and patience to attract bees into the hive. You need to pay attention to safety when operating to avoid being stung by bees. It is best to have an experienced beekeeper guide or perform the operation to ensure successful introduction of bees into the new hive.
