Renounce sugar

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

Varieties of flower honey

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)

Reduction of labor costs for feeding bees

Many beekeepers of large industrial farms, realizing the inevitability and high efficiency of fertilizing, are seeking ways to reduce labor on distribution of food to bees. In bee-breeding farms, it is necessary to feed the

The feeders of the on-site site

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

Sugar fodder

With a lack of honey in the hives, as well as to replace the poor quality honey (with a mixture of pade, rapidly crystallizing), bees are fed with sugar. In forest areas, where bees almost

Conservation of bees by fodder

The presence of large stocks of feed in the nest developed a complex reflex in bees, aimed at reliably preserving them from the adverse effects of temperature and humidity of the surrounding air and protecting

How to place stern frames in hives for the winter

It was already noted that for a bee family in the autumn-winter-spring period, 25-30 kg of feed (honey, sugar) should be prepared. However, in hives for winter, not all food should be left, but only

Accounting for the condition and timing of the honey

The state of honey collection in nature is taken into account by daily weighing the hive with bees (control family) standing on the scales. For weighing, take a hive with a strong bee family, which

Providing bees with water

Bees eat liquid food, and the water available in honey completely satisfies their need, until they perform no work (in autumn, in winter). However, during the growing of larvae, the need for water increases. If

Honey’s digestibility by bees

Bees are small insects, and therefore it is not possible to determine from them the digestibility of feed by the method commonly used in animal husbandry. In addition, the bee honey taken can not be
