Learn about the hidden dangers of bee biting the nest door and how to deal with it
Introduction. In the life of beekeepers, it is common to encounter some bee biting nests. Such actions are not common, but there is a reason for them, and there are countermeasures. On this basis, the author will elaborate on several common causes of the honeycomb door phenomenon and how to deal with them, in order to provide a useful reference for the majority of beekeepers.
The hive is overheating. The high temperature in the hive is also one of the main factors that cause the bee colony to "gnaw on the nest". While the indoor temperature rises, the air circulation and volatilization are accelerated by biting the nest to achieve the purpose of reducing the air temperature and humidity. If you want to prevent and control it, you must do a good job of shading the honeycomb and try to shorten the direct sunlight on the honeycomb. During this process, the airflow in the honeycomb should be properly ventilated to maintain a suitable temperature and humidity environment. In addition, the spacing between the bee channels should be increased to facilitate the ventilation and heat dissipation of the bee body.
Poor cellular ventilation.
Poor air circulation in the location of the beehive is also a factor in the "gnawing nest" of the bee colony. At this point, consider moving the hive to a more favorable location for air circulation to facilitate movement and breathing. On this basis, the opening degree of the hive should be appropriately reduced, and the air volume of the inlet and outlet should be increased, so as to improve the overall ventilation effect of the hive.
The socket hole is too thick. Some self-made hives are very rudimentary and have not been carefully treated and polished, which makes the gate of the hive too simple, which affects the entry and exit of bees, thus causing the phenomenon of biting the hive. To avoid such a thing, we need to pay attention to every small place and ensure that the door of the hive is smooth. In addition, the deadbolt of the hive should be checked frequently, and the damaged parts should be repaired or replaced to ensure the integrity of the hive.
Nest door timber problem.
The quality of the wood at the entrance to the beehive has a great effect on the biting door of the colony. If the wood at the entrance of the hive is of poor quality, and there are conditions such as corruption and insect infestation, you can defend and prevent it by gnawing on the door of the hive. To this end, it is necessary to carry out periodic observation of the nest gate and increase the intensity of inspections to prevent and control the work. If there is any damage, it should be disposed of and repaired immediately to maintain the health and stability of the hive.
The mystery of the biting nest. 
Sometimes, we will find instances that appear to be biting an exit, but not the entrance. There is usually a small group of bees guarding the entrance of the nest, which looks like they are biting at the door of the nest, but in fact they are guarding against outside disturbances. We can see it as a self-defensive nature, and there is no need to intervene too much, just pay attention to its actions and ensure its health and safety in the hive.
The conclusion is that bee biting is a symptom that causes the bee colony to be susceptible, so it is necessary to pay attention to observation in bee management and solve the problem as soon as possible. According to the nest phenomenon caused by different factors, the health and reproduction of the bee colony can be ensured by adjusting the hive temperature, strengthening ventilation and improving the quality of the nest. Bees are a careful and patient profession. When encountering the phenomenon of biting the nest door, it is necessary to analyze it with a correct mindset and find appropriate countermeasures. On this basis, we should increase the research on bee professional technology to improve our bee breeding technology.
