The friable drinker for the hive consists of a can of 0.8-1 liter, a flat wick 65-70 mm wide and 300-350 mm long, and a wick entering the wick. The slot for the input of the wick is made in the back wall of the stand, in the middle of its upper part. The length […]
Bees collect nectar and flower pollen from the flowers of plants. Nectar is distinguished by special glands of plants – nectaries. After processing with a bee, it becomes honey. Bees can collect other sweet substances. Flying from flower to flower, bees gradually fill with nectar their crabs, in which, under the influence of enzymes in […]
Dry seeding is an infectious disease, accompanied by the drying of the eggs at the time the embryo leaves it; occurs when the bees are not moistened with larval shell food, it remains dry and the embryo can not break it. Causes of the disease. Dry seeding occurs when there is insufficient care for brood […]
For the winter period, as is known, the bee family requires 8 to 15 kg of feed, depending on the climatic zone and wintering conditions. The amount of feed intake, brood heating, wax release, evaporation of water from nectar depends essentially on the ambient temperature. It follows that one of the effective ways to save […]
Fungal diseases of bees (mycoses) are among the infectious diseases, the causative agents of which are pathogenic fungi. The most dangerous are ascosphere, aspergillosis and melanosis. In dysfunctional apiaries, families develop poorly, the number of individuals in them sharply decreases, and the remaining in the nest reduces the ability to fly and honey. Ascosferosis (calcareous […]
Only strong bee colonies are biologically full and most productive in honey and wax. They are always ready to use any, even short-term bribes. Therefore, the methods of taking care of bees and their contents should be directed primarily at ensuring that all families of the apiary are strong. Among the conditions that contribute to […]
Fig. 1. General view. I offer readers a uterine cell of its own design. It consists of a transparent body 2 and a bottom 4, in which holes are made for ventilation and contact of the bees with the uterus. The upper end of the body is closed with a stopper 1. There are also […]
After the bee family grows stronger, will renew the nest, fill the honeycomb with brood, honey and perga, it directs its worries to the creation of a new family. On the ninth day after the laying of eggs, the first swarm emerges into the queen cells. Spinning for a while over the hives, insects in […]
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 […]
