Pumping out honeycomb in honey extractor

Honey can be taken from bees only when it is more than what they need for food in winter and next spring. It is believed that the family needs 30-35 kg of feed for this time. All that is beyond this belongs to the beekeeper. From a nest where bees grow brood, experienced beekeepers honey […]

Care of bees in greenhouses

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. Central Russian bees are covetous, and when inspecting the nest, a smoke is needed. Bees do not know the master and in their behavior obey instinct. […]

Veal with honey

Veal cut into cubes 3×3 cm. Marinate in vodka and honey. (Pre-cut the meat a little and roll in the seasoning.) After 3 hours, put the meat along with the marinade and put on medium fire on a frying pan fried with vegetable oil. When vodka and honey evaporate, add soy sauce and water. Fire […]

Selection of poison in apiaries

As is known, neither scientists nor practitioners have yet come to a common opinion about acceptable methods of poison selection, that is, the optimal location of the sampling devices in the hives, the frequency of poison selection during the season. The influence of the duration of the poison selection season on the status of families, […]

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 planted in the main field and fodder crop rotations, and also on the size of the apiary. Under the reserve […]

Evaluation of the quality of artificial wax

An artificial wax is a wax sheet with the bases of cells squeezed out on it. When using an artificial honeycomb attached to frames, bees quickly build honeycombs with bee cells. At the same time, the quality of the honeycomb is of great importance. An artificial wax of good quality must have sufficient strength and […]

How to fight with ascospenosis

In the summer of 1988, in one family, I found 10-15 white lumps in honeycombs, but did not attach any importance to it, considering them to be a moldy pearl. In the beginning of the summer of next year in this family again I saw the same lumps, but now I already knew that these […]

Memory for the time of bees

Each of us from our own experience knows what a sense of time. It can be relied on to a greater or lesser extent, but there is no person for whom it is completely absent. A dog or a parrot well remembers the hour of joyful events for them, if these events are regularly repeated. […]

Temperature conditions in the nest of bees

For the development of brood, the separation of wax and the construction of honeycombs, considerable warmth is required – 34-35 њ, as well as high humidity in the nest. Bees have the ability to develop and maintain in their homes the required heat and humidity. Increase in temperature is achieved by hilling of bees and […]

Smoke makes the bees obedient

There is one, perhaps, the most powerful means of pacifying bees – smoke. If you enter it into the hive, then in a moment the family comes into a strong excitement. Bees, feeling danger, greedily attack honey, get drunk, become heavier, become less irritable, and poorly owning a full-belly, almost do not sting. Smoke makes […]
