What is double queens colony beehive?
1.What is double queens colony?
Double queen s colony means that there are two queen bees in a colony at the same time. Normally there is one and only one queen bee in a colony. However human intervention can also cause two queen bees in a colony to lay eggs at the same time. The Queen excluder separates the two queen bees on each side of the hive. This kind of bee colony with two queen bees is the beekeepers talk about.
2.Principle of Double queens:
Normally there is one and only one queen bee in a colony. If one colony has two queens they will have their "Queen's fight" until another queen is dead. However human intervention can also cause two queen bees in a colony to lay eggs at the same time. The Queen excluder separates the two queen bees on each side of the hive. In fact if only the two queens don't meet each other they will lay eggs on each side.
3.Advantages of Double queens:
Double queens colony has two queen laying eggs. Because two queens laying eggs are more than one queen. So the fast of reproduction is the most advantage in the early stage.
In Spring seasonyou can build double queen colonies to fast recover the bees from Winter.
And also you can build double queen colonies to rear a lot of bees very fast to adapt Winter.
4.Applications of Double queens:
A.Rearing in Spring. By building Double queens colonies bees can fast recover. When honey season comes you can separate these two colonies into two singled queen colonies. One strong one Weak. The strong one is used for collecting honey. The weak one can be built for another double queen colonies.
B.Rearing in AutumnBy building the strong colonies and weak colonies to double queen colonies the rearing speed is faster than singled queens colony. When Autumn comes Separate them into two equal colonies so they can get through the Winter.
