When starting to work with bees, first you need to get acquainted with the basic information about the breeds of bees, common in the country, their biological and economic-useful qualities. Comparing the characteristic pedigree characteristics of the bees of this apiary, they establish their pedigree affiliation.

Breeds of bees, unlike domestic animals, were formed not under the influence of human activity, but as a result of prolonged natural selection under the influence of climate and melliferous vegetation. Therefore, the term “breed” is used conditionally.
