settle the queen mother from your vicinity in the hive, it is a species that thrives on you<\/li>\n<li><strong>Experience the full life cycle:<\/strong> If you establish a queen bee in a wasp nest, you will have bees for several months.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beginners, don't despair if you don't succeed right at the start of the season:<\/strong> In Central Europe, bumblebee queens can be settled according to the weather and location (altitude) from March to early May, and subsequently, a second generation of queens from some species is also possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Second generation of bumblebees<\/strong> It is also possible to settle bumblebee queens from the second generation from May to June.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Experienced breeders, help the rarer species:<\/strong> Don't rush and don't settle the early species. These are abundant and if you want to help bumblebees by breeding them, wait for the later and rarer ones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A bumblebee nest can be bought:<\/strong> If you are a beginner and for a serious reason you dare not\/cannot establish a queen from nature (e.g. reduced mobility etc.), order a nest from an authorised and verified supplier of bumblebees from the Czech Republic (ask for proof of origin of the bumblebees).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bumblebee Rapid Response as a way to acquire bumblebees:&nbsp;<\/strong> If you fail to establish the queen bee, don't despair.

Keeping and breeding bumblebees from the wild is not so easy, and it is a business where mistakes don't pay off. Such a venture can easily end in failure. For example, one could name <strong>an outbreak of a viral infection in the livestock<\/strong>, or unmanageable <strong>parasite<\/strong> (Mites, parasitic wasps, the miniature but deadly wasp Melittobia acasta).<\/p>\n<p>In laboratory breeding, the common bumblebee species paradoxically thrives, and it is <strong>Buff-tailed bumblebee<\/strong>.

You'll recognise this, for instance, from their behaviour during sales and the things they themselves will warn you about during a purchase. For example, they might refuse to move a purchased colony to an unsuitable hive because they know the colony would die there. You can read about unsuitable hives <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/en\/sale-of-non-native-bumblebee-species\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>.
