Barberry honey

Barberry honey is golden yellow, fragrant and delicate. Its bees are vigorously processed from the nectar of the flowers of the berry barberry common (shrub height 3 m), which grows in the western, middle and southern parts of Russia and is widely cultivated as a valuable hemostatic. At the end of the last century IV […]

Shelf in the cellar

As a rule, in the cellars and cellars the shelves are made of boards. Therefore, sometimes you hear: “I did not finish, the rotten shelf, and all cans with canning” went “to the ground …” I propose to make shelves of reinforced concrete. This is not difficult at all. First of all, you need to […]

Bees in the open air

Bees hibernate in the apiary, in their usual places. Whenever there are stable colds, the beekeepers open the tapes for the entire lumen. The value of the tap does not affect the temperature in the hive. As with a small, and with a large tap, it almost does not differ from the outside. However, with […]

Skin Care in Winter

When we oppose everything unnatural in all areas of life, against formalism in art, why should one take care of the beauty of the face, resorting to artificial images and various cosmetic means? Or do we need to raise such a standard to the level of some principle and force everyone to obey it? I […]

Selection of a place for an apiary and accommodation of hives

From the correct choice of location for the establishment of a reserve apiary, its welfare and productivity depend. 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. […]

African bees

The bees that live in Africa are relatively small compared to ours. There are so many honey and pollenots here that bee colonies are provided with food throughout the year and they do not need to make large reserves. At the same time, they feed a huge number of larvae, which create the prerequisites for […]

Accelerated reproduction of bee colonies

A significant number of lovers, to buy one or two bee colonies, want to increase them quickly. There are two ways of accelerated reproduction: the first – the use of swarm queen cells, the second, effective, but more complex, – the artificial withdrawal of queens and the formation of layers. For the accelerated breeding, the […]

Dwarf bee

A dwarf bee also builds one – a single honeycomb somewhat larger than half a palm on a branch of a rare bush, right under the open sky. The top part of the honeycomb covers the branch on which it hangs, and at this point it is somewhat enlarged, forming a small horizontal surface on […]

Clamps for multi-hull beehives

I belong to the supporters of keeping bees in multi-hive beehives. I think that wintering is better in them, families are growing much faster. Thanks to light and comfortable housings, labor productivity increases, bees are less worried, honey collection is increasing. The disadvantage of the multi-body, in my opinion, is its poor quality and imperfection […]

Dancing Pollen Collectors

Along with honey as a second indispensable food, the bee family collects pollen. Pollen gatherers also inform each other about a found abundant source of a bribe, and they do it in the same way as nectar gatherers. They use circular dances at close and wagging dances with a remote source of bribe to convey […]
