But the fall of the apiary with two major differences: aggressive bees, which has not expired instinct actively collecting nectar; stealing, which completely follows from the first paragraph.

But it all depends on, that changes the biological rhythms, when nature begins to prepare for hibernation.

Ways to work on an apiary autumn

From 1 August 1 September is usually trying to hold beekeepers hives autumn revision.

Time in each case depends on the end of the main medosbora.

It depends on many factors and each year these terms may be different.

Collection of honey may gradually subside as, more favorable for bees, and stop abruptly.

In any case, when the bees stop bringing the day 1 kg. nectar, you can start checking hive of autumn.

This should be done in the evening, дотримуючись особливої ​​обережності – використовувати захисний костюм і маску, use the chimney.

Якщо необхідно проводити тривалий огляд в денний час – краще встановити спеціальну палатку.

So you will be easier to work with the framework, and bees will be less nervous.

Remember, hive that can be opened up into one frame, you are working directly.

Another area to be covered by special holstykom. So avoid theft, other bees will not be disturbed.

Old beekeepers say, the season of good host does not begin with flyby of spring bees, and autumn apiary inspection.

After all this time you have the opportunity to find out all the problems and fix them in time, and it should be done very quickly.

In the summer the bees practically without your intervention can correct all existing "problems" in the life of his family, the fall of the insects themselves have problems can no longer cope

Autumn audit

Найвідповідальніша робота пасічника з бджолами в осінній період – ревізія вулика.

It provides an estimate:

• availability of feed stocks, the number and quality;
• the need to increase the number of bees, which will be included in the winter;
• Sanitary and need medical treatment and insect hive;
• a plan to collect the correct slot hibernation, the formation of strong families (multiple connectivity);
• providing comfort hibernation.

From all these factors depends, how to take your apiary winter, and how many bees you come to spring.

And this, naturally, залежить успіх медоносного сезону – кількість і якість меду та інших продуктів бджільництва.

Works with bees

If the methods and means of feeding the bees sugar syrup or inverted, we are repeatedly told, it is necessary to mention the culling of bee colonies in the fall.

From that, that the number of bee colonies in winter you leave, depends on the quantity of food, you will be giving away an insect, so that they can create a full and adequate supply of feed.

We must not miss the moment culling families fall, because the later do this manipulation, more difficult to have bees.

After all, they need to get used to new surroundings, obzhytysya a beehive and form a club, it will be very difficult in a short time frame.

Culling subject to these families:

1. weak – їх зазвичай об’єднують з більш сильними або по кілька штук разом;
2. maloproduktivní – причин такого явища може бути багато, the main one is weak uterus, which can not sow a sufficient number of brood. The beekeeper determines, whether it makes sense pidsadzhuvaty new queen and she have time to increase the number of bees or better at this stage to combine this with a stronger family;
3. patients – якщо вчасно не був помічений момент захворювання бджіл і хвороба прогресує стрімкими темпами. Typically, such a family destroyed, to avoid infecting the entire apiary;
4. trutovochni. Each family, that goes for the winter, bees themselves regulate the amount drones, which should be a certain amount. Якщо ж таких особин занадто багато – родина не буде продуктивною в наступному сезоні і не слід витрачати корми на трутнів.

Increasing the number of young held at the end of the main melozboru.

For these purposes, uses liquid sugar syrup, which creates the illusion of spring trick uterus and triggers an active oviposition.

But it is necessary to consider time and weather factors in your climate zone.

For young bees have to make it obletitys, not to die in the winter.

Work on forming nests

To form a nest of bees will fall on their own, and do not need them in the hamper.

Beekeepers need only see to it, how bees gather "klubchytys' and accordingly set the frameworks.

1. For strong families, be in winter 9-12 streets, recommended method of forming sided slot. Від центру до країв встановлюють рамки з медом по наростаючій – в центрі медовопергові з найменшою кількістю корму (2.5-3 kg). Далі – повноцінні медові до 4 kg.
2. Для середніх сімей – односторонній або кутовий спосіб. On the edge of the nest is placed beyond polnomedni, а до центру – по спадаючій. Final frame should be at least 2.5 kg of honey.
3. «Борода» – спосіб для нуклеусів і слабких сімей. In the center of the frame put polnomedni, а до країв – по спадаючій в обидві сторони. Повний запас – близько 15 kg.

If properly form a nest, Bees will not lack food and not die during the winter.

But if at least one frame will be insufficient feed, bees, who are in winter hibernation, will not be able to overcome it and get to the next frame feed.

Then the family has a chance to die, even with a sufficient supply of food for the winter.

Fighting Disease

It was during the autumn feeding should give bees cure diseases, which can lead to their death during the winter or immediately after the first flyby.

Experienced beekeepers hold a series of preventive procedures, which not only save the entire population, but also to prevent the fall off of bees, which often occurs due to uncomfortable living conditions in the hive.

They can be caused by diseases.

A treatment of mites, varoatozu and other infectious diseases.

But there are also important deadlines. You can not carry out the procedure too late, when bees are already beginning to gather in the club.

At this time, the threat of death uterus. Саме час – коли розплід вже вийшов і молодняк облетів.

Then the insects will take good handling chemical or physical means.

From the infectious diseases drugs with better give fertilizing. Then the bees will provide a means of combating and prevention for the winter.

Work in the apiary

Beekeepers have to work not only with bees, but the tool, providing livelihoods apiary.

And it is going in the economy of many years. Need to tidy hives, hide free housing and Shop Extension arm.

Treat all wood surfaces from rodents and put it in a dry place until spring.

Empty frames to dry and fold so, that they are not deformed, making it easier to work with them next season.

Також проводяться підготовчі осінні роботи з утеплення вуликів – у разі відкритої зимівлі.

Або підготовки бджоляника – якщо ви віддаєте перевагу утриманню бджіл в зимовий час в приміщенні.

To open wintering need to prepare dry moss or straw have to do. Also use a dry reed or sedge.

Open hibernation mode. Hives establish protected from wind and rain site, намагаючись зробити площу зіткнення з холодним повітрям мінімальною – встановлюють їх «пліч-о-пліч».

Then you will need to insulate smaller surfaces, and the temperature will be maintained through the life of bees in the hive nearby.

To disinfect the premises for keeping bees need to whitewash lime or handle steep copper sulfate solution.

Then carefully ventilated room, allowing to dry.

Beehouse least 2 weeks before placement in these hives, need air, To avoid excessive humidity and dampness, which adversely affect families during the winter.

Great wisdom of nature

Nature is so arranged, every creature knows its place and is able to survive without human assistance in difficult conditions.
