After the hive is collected, it is wrapped in nylon gauze, and then smoked for 2 to 5 minutes to drive away individual stingers hiding in the hive. After smoking, untie the gauze and remove impurities such as soil, residue and bark on the surface of the hive. There are two main methods of artificial pupation: one is to remove the membrane from the mouth wall of the pupa with a small clip and take the pupa and larvae out of the hive one by one; The other is to burn the hive mouth down for 1 ~ 3 minutes with an open flame, so that the wall membrane of the pupa mouth burns out and the pupa head is exposed, and then the pupa and larvae are separated from the room by gently patting the lid with hands, and the parts that cannot be peeled off are clamped with small clips. Take out the bee pupa and put it in a clean bamboo dustpan or basin.

Wash the vegetable pan, pour in a proper amount of water and a small amount of salt with the concentration of 2.5% ~ 3.3%, then boil the water, and blanch the peeled bee pupae and larvae in boiling water for 3 ~ 5 minutes. For example, the small pupa in the pot can be carried out several times. After blanching, remove and drain the water, and spread it thinly on the bamboo basket.
