After the purification flight, the bees proceed to clean the nest, begin to feed the uterus intensively, and the uterus – lay eggs. If the brood was seven before the introduction of the hive into the greenhouse, now its number is significantly increased. On the 3-4th day after the introduction of the bee family into […]
When feeding bees turn sugar syrup into sugar honey. In the content of simple sugars, it is similar to honey. Bees usually have a good winter on it, but because of the extremely low content in it, the bees need to consume a stock of protein from their bodies. As a result, in spring, despite […]
To grow the brood and keep the optimum humidity and temperature in the nest, bees need water. On average, the bee family spends 50 grams of water per day, and in hot and dry days – 300-400 g. In the greenhouses with the appearance in the brood nests, the bees accumulate near leaking faucets and […]
Bees, depending on their breed, when examining the nest react differently. Southern bees are very peaceful. Nests can be examined without a facial mesh, and sometimes even without smoke.

He noticed that bee families after a number of years of increased growth and good productivity begin to lag behind other families in strength, and in honey. I explained this by the […]
In farms that have strong bee colonies, early supporting honey harvest and late main bribes, which allow obtaining more marketable honey, they practice early withdrawal of queens. Since there will be no drones in early spring, they are taken to the best breeding families in advance. At the same time, it is taken into account […]

Preference should be given to terrain with a crossed Relief, which contributes to an increase in the total area in the summer’s radius of bees and to an extension of the flowering period of the honey beans. […]
The natural, natural protein food for bees is pollen and perg. In greenhouses, bee colonies often lack protein food. In the literature there are many recipes for feeding bees to liquid and condensed honey – pergovye and sugar – protein mixtures. Thus, the Institute of Apiculture recommends adding no more than 10-12% of protein substances […]
In case of inadequate provision of bee colonies with honeycombs, the honey is pumped out as the frames are filled with honey and the zabrus (honey prints) appears in the upper part of the frames. In order not to distract the bees from work, the selection of honey frames is carried out towards evening. Seated […]
