The first concerns the beekeeper

Нових бджіл купують зазвичай в кінці весни – початку літа. Earlier buying better.

Insects have time for the season rebuild new cells, increase the number, provide good feed itself, worked on medosbora.

In the winter they go as a complete family. Prior to good trick they have to feed, but this is not difficult.

Become the owner of the bees can be different:

1. Privately amateur beekeepers buy cuttings or swarm of fruitful womb.
2. Buy Bee packages in nurseries.

Buying Bee packages, you can count on chystoporodnist bees and lack of disease, confirm with veterinary certificate and quality certificate.

quality bdzholomateriala, purchased from hands, beginner beekeepers will be difficult to determine.

It requires experience with bees, so it is best practice to help invite.

It is necessary to organize and advance to arrange place in the apiary, make it easier to care for bees.

At first it can be arranged in the private sector, which is very convenient.

Головна умова – наявність поблизу honey plant, fodder for population.

Start with recommended 3 – 5 hives, then gradually increasing their numbers their bees.

Ще одна деталь – тип конструкції бджолиного будинку. It is, that hives beds suitable for novice beekeepers more, Care for the bees are easier to implement.

There is another view: any type of hives has obvious advantages, is the only features to work with him.

So, the main criterion for selection is a personal preference, and added experience.

Once the bees are placed in hives, it's time to care for the beekeeper apiary.

It's enough to make a quick review of the nest the day after purchase and within a week, make sure, the family settled in a new place safely.

If the queen lays eggs, everything goes well.

In the hive must add frame. If bees are purchased early, when there is no good trick, the weather is wet, cold, нельотна – вони повинні бути з кормом.

The presence stocks beekeeper should take care in advance.

With warm weather and presence of blossoming melliferous put empty frame.

Family is the most honey. To increase the possibility to procure more feed, insects should not be allowed to build their own cells.

For this hive placed frames of Wax. They combine with already existing sections rebuilt, having new between.

Наявність в розпорядженні бджіл порожніх рамок до моменту головного взятку – це все, they need.

Without having to beekeepers often not necessary to look into the hive, these insects disturb.

If the bees are flying for nectar actively, біля вічка немає хворих і мертвих особин – колонія розвивається нормально.

If necessary, install or replace all of the framework should be carried out quickly, not to chill nest with brood.

For novice beekeepers to remember, that care for the bees should carefully, because you may experience trouble.

Manipulation in the hive and the beekeeper inexperience can sometimes result in the loss or death of cancer. It is very bad, but should not be lost.

Bees without cancer can not do, begin to worry, merge, do not fly for nectar.

This family is doomed, but it is possible to plant them new womb, merge with another family or they withdraw uterus, але це займе місяць – легче купити.

If you do it quickly, Colony continues its development.

What to do in August

Останній місяць літа – час, beekeeper when there are new worries. Day still hot, but the nights are cold, bees fly out to work later.

Shed much honey plants, that ends the main tricks. We can say, insects that feed the main season production came to an end.

Caring for the bees in August is as follows:

1. Earlier this month should see the hives. Foremost here is the nest, in which the brood. The remaining sections accounted for honey frames. Strong strong family in favorable conditions (good weather, abundant brought) the summer could significantly increase the number of colonies, which increased the need for their presence in feed stocks. If the feed frames in the hive will be enough, honey working individuals will make the center, taking frames, designed by sowing. The last few brood will, in the winter off the old bees, is unacceptable. If nested frames filled with honey, they must remove, replacing empty. Uterus postpone eggs there, the family will be young again change.
2. In the hive may be virgin and extra bees or honey frames. At this time a well-developed family should be placed on 12 повних рамках типу “дадан” або займати 2 корпусу “рута”. The rest of the frame can be removed. In Multiple hives and remove extra body and shops. If it detects a shortage of food in the cell, Bees should begin to feed.
3. The first half of the month to monitor the work of the uterus. Bad weather conditions and a sharp reduction medosbora it can trigger egg toss. Раннє ж припинення червління – це мала кількість молодих зимових бджіл. It should provide a stimulating feeding sugar syrup or inverted. well, If the queen continues laying the middle of August, when the bees need to feed in the winter.
4. Годування бджіл на зиму сиропом – звичайна практика в бджільництві. Мета її – швидке поповнення сім’єю відсутніх кормових запасів. Delay this measure should not, So, as insects have time to remake it, put in a cell, seal and distribute the nest convenient. All this takes time, there's more, that bees can only operate at zero temperature.

Work in the apiary autumn

Осінь – період активної підготовки комах до зимівлі. In September, ending the feeding of bees.

Now the entire stock is in their hive. At the same time there is the latest generation of young bees, frame with brood are empty.

There honey bees begin to move, placing its top slot. Beekeeper task now is, to inspect the hive and make adjustments if necessary.

That's what the care of the bees fall:

1. With the nest removed several medium frame, malomedni framework and fold, where wintering bees can not be. For a strong family leave 8 -10 framework, shifting them from the edges of the hive. Average colony left only 6. This is called reduction nest. This method helps the bees to survive the cold comfort. In the winter are only young individuals and uterus. Number of bees in the hive small. The extra frame bees do not take, they remain unclaimed in the autumn. Use winter bees they also can not, as the only club moves up (towards winter bees can not move). Besides, keep the microclimate in reduced nest of bees is much easier.
2. Manual assembly of the nest is made is not always. If honey bees collected enough, placed it convenient, на рамках корму багато – не потрібно втручатися. Only when a limited supply of food distributed by hand frame, using any of the methods known in beekeeping (unilateral and bilateral collection, beard, etc.).
3. IN different types of hives winter bees are not the same. In two eyes loungers framework put in front notch, extreme clean. If bees hive four eyes are placed on either side, the other part separating diaphragm. In the hive always riser slot formed in the center. Food stocks in Multiple hives placed above the club shop or in the second case.
4. By the autumn of trouble beekeeper applies mandatory treatment of bees against varoatozu. Even if the visual presence of the mite could not be confirmed, you still need to treat. The disease is present in all apiaries, zaklischenni same family bad winter. The most effective to process, while in the nest will remain only young winter bees.
5. In winter necessarily insulated hives. Part of this work make themselves bees, closing the gap in construction propolis. The remaining insulation must conduct beekeeper. Do it around the perimeter of the nest. The walls and top of the frame put quality natural insulation. The top item under cover set at least, To prevent overheating nest.
6. With the onset of cold weather resistant bees are less active, make final cleansing circled and form a winter club. They do not fly out of the hive. Now you can ask for permanent hibernation. Do this carefully, So, less bother to insects. At the fall of the apiary end. That's all, about, how to care for bees in the first season

Бджільництво – не точна наука, and art. Identical time frame for the same work simply does not exist.

The difference lies in the climatic characteristics of the region, where the apiary, duration medosbora, type of management.

Nature, too, can make a calendar beekeeper their adjustments. To be successful breeding of bees, need to constantly look closely insect, learn them, understand, they live.

Then beekeeping will bring joy.
