What should be paid attention to in the site selection and bee colony placement of rape flowers?

Rapeseed breeding site requires leeward, sunny, dry, near water, good water quality, relatively stable microclimate and large rape area. It's best to put bees in a place where Chinese cabbage and Brassica napus are mixed. Avoid putting bees in rape, wheat fields and vents. The production site requires large rape area, good honey flow, stable yield and suitable microclimate. For mustard rape fields in Qinghai, Shanxi Datong, Shaanxi Northwest, Gansu, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, it is best to choose small watersheds with high groundwater level, good soil quality and high humidity, and go to hills in waterlogging years and pay attention to flash floods.

In general, it is advisable for the beehive door to face south and east. According to the wind direction and sunshine, open the left or right beehive door to prevent cold air from blowing directly into the beehive.
