Top-dressing honey bees is widely used in the spring-autumn season. At this time, from the nests are removed extra, subject to the culling of the frame. They are printed out and in the evening they are put in nests for middle and strong families. Frames with honey for feeding bees into the nest are placed […]
The transition of beekeeping and beekeeping complexes to intensive technology for the care of bees provides, in particular, the use of multi-hull beehives, multiple transport of apiaries for pollination and honey collection. At the same time, the mechanization of loading and unloading works becomes an integral part of the complex mechanization of the apiary. However, […]
Most insects carry the winter in a frozen state and do not consume feed. The bees consume honey throughout the winter, due to which heat is released and they live in a relatively active state. With the onset of cold weather, bees gather in a dense club, well adapted to the economical use of heat. […]
Of all the variety of feeders proposed and described in the literature for bees, we will focus only on those that meet the requirements to the greatest extent. A wooden feeder placed above the frame is very comfortable, widely distributed on apiaries. It is made of plywood and boards 0.5-1 cm thick, looks like a […]
Beehive: a – side view, b – top view. 1 – housing; 2 – ceiling; 3 – roof; 4 – frames; 5 – leaflet; c – barred holes; 7 – exhaust openings; 8 – vertical duct. Ventilation of hives in winter is not an easy task. The bee club should not receive outside cold air, […]
The most important means of communication between bees is special movements on the honeycombs, so-called “dances”. Indeed, in these movements, as in a real dance, there is a rhythm, some definite figures, pretty clear turns, runs, circles. Only they are performed without music. The old Russian observant beekeepers called this behavior of insects a dance. […]
Familiarization with the organization of pollination by bees of cucumbers in greenhouses is best done in the form of an excursion to a large greenhouse farm. The most convenient time for visiting a farm in the northern part of the non-chernozem zone, for example, will be the end of May or the beginning of June. […]
Honey has extremely great advantages over other food products: having good taste qualities, it is also a valuable curative and preventive agent. Bee honey is a wonderful gift of nature, in the creation of which bees and flowers participate. Modern scientific research has shown that ancient doctors and philosophers gave such a high assessment to […]

We conducted a study of 24 samples of honey, which was kept at the Department of Veterinary and Sanitary Expertise of the Agricultural Academy for 7-8 years. The product was stored in glass jars, closed (unsealed) with paper and tied with a thread. During the study, color, taste, odor, invert sugar, fermentation and humidity were […]
