The bees primarily consume freshly introduced pollen. But if it is not enough or the shoulders can not make it because of the bad weather, or there are no flowering pollen plants, they consume the stocks of perga, built in the nest. In the spring, bees often feel a lack of pollen. The main spring […]
Candi is prepared from centrifugal honey of the first grade or from invert sugar or powder. To prepare candy you need to take only table centrifugal honey of very good quality, in which there is no disease of foulbrood. It is better that it is honey from the area in which no diseases of the […]
In beehives, most often bees mix nectar of different plants during its processing and folding into honeycombs. Obtain honey from the nectar of a single plant (monoflern honey) only if hives with bees (40-60 families) are placed near a field with a large number (not less than 80-100 hectares) of a plant blooming simultaneously, capable […]
In modern methods of keeping bees, sugar is an integral part. This is due to the veterinary and sanitary rules for keeping families. In practice, they often seek to increase their honey production by over-permissible norms of sugar feeding, that is, they receive “lime” honey for commercial purposes. Such harmful practices result in irrational use […]
The bee sheds the update in the cell with the help of the spurs on the middle legs. Then the other bees flatten and compact the refresh. Gradually, the cell accumulates many layers of pollen collected by different bees from flowers of different plants. Dropping the updates takes only 15-20 seconds, but tampering the pollen […]
In most plants, pollen and nectar are formed in one flower. The volatile, easily dispersed pollen in the air inevitably, sometimes in large quantities, falls into the nectar and is taken away by the bee. Honey with a lot of pollen is unsuitable for wintering bees. Nutrients of pollen grains at a low temperature in […]
In order to partially fill the impotent periods, reserved areas, usually a few hectares in size, are organized. The size of the reserve site largely depends on the natural conditions, on which honey plants are planted in the main field and fodder crop rotations, and also on the size of the apiary. Under the reserve […]
In addition to the liquid phase, honey is always found in microscopic solid particles – pollen grains, which, despite cleaning in honey cind, get into honey together with nectar. Since each plant species has its size, shape and color of the pollen grains, it is possible to determine from the pollen contained in honey, from […]
Medo-perga mixture is given to bees in the absence of pollen in nature, and in the nests of bees – pergh. In a mixture consisting of 50% perga (or freshly renewed) and 50% honey, water is added to the bees at a rate of 1 kg of a 0.2 liter mixture before dispensing. At the […]
When replenishing fodder reserves for the winter, and when replacing a portion of honey with sugar, time and quantity of sugar fed, the concentration of syrup and the addition of substances that improve the hibernation of bees are of great importance. Time for feeding bees to sugar syrup. When feeding sugar syrup in early autumn, […]
