Work Beekeeper with bees in the apiary in August.
There is a summer, and with it ends next season.
Although bees produce more nectar from flowers, fixed period medosbora has been completed.
If the hive apiary is controlling, registered a gradual decrease in daily gain.
Striped toiler also hear Fall: they cut working hours, kicked drones.
It's time to clean up the attributes of active medosbora – Shop Extension arm and second housings, and reducing opening notch.
What else should be done in August, to ensure proper maintenance of bees?
Revision
Prior to the last decade of the month beekeepers conduct routine audit. For her distinguished warm windless day.
When viewed evaluate two important parameters:
- force family;
- the amount of feed stocks.
Each beekeeper worked their performance criteria, but there are general rules.
Usually harvested about half sotoramok: leaving several of full, remove damaged and incomplete.
Works with bees in August
Surplus can grow moldy or rodents popsuvatysya.
Leave cell, are fully obsyzheni insects.
We'll have to completely remove a whimsical wintering types of honey: heathy, Rape, honeydew.

you remove, substituting them for the cells with a quality product, which was assembled in the main medosbor.
Bees in August are quite aggressive, and the work must be done carefully, avoiding sudden movements and using protective equipment.
On the usefulness family is judged by the intensity of brood – cells him leave the nest. It is this seed will have to survive in the cold season.
The more bees will spend the winter, those more successful will be a complex process. Conscientious owner interested in a prosperous wintering his players, and that he cares enough quantity of food.
How many frameworks leave family? From 5 to 10 full sotoramok, containing high-quality honey, as well as 3 frames of pollen. If stocks lower, settle the question of fertilizing.
In the center of the nest with brood cells pose, sides – Medovo--pergovі, and more – honey. Beehive carefully insulated, to establish barriers eye of rodents.
Prepare and facilities for the winter: them repaired, disinfected and dried.
Pumping and cleaning hives
Business in the apiary in August include pumping from selected mature pcheloprodukty sotoramok.
This is followed by a control survey. If there are flowering plants: pumpkin, cucumbers, burdock, motherwort, heather, kept the possibility of supporting, and sometimes a trade trick.
The process of evacuation of honey from the honeycombs requires compliance with the basic conditions:
- single bright room;
- inaccessible to bees and wasps.
Before working again examine the scope. Fully completed copies lay: they are left as feed stock or pumped later, fall.
Now things are beyond, honey filled and sealed by two thirds or more.
Procedure:
- WordHex accurately reveal, removing the wax caps. It uses different means: than, heated hot water, forks, steam, electrical devices. The easiest option – knife to cut the top, thinly and evenly, seeking minimal damage cells.
- Ready for processing frame is placed in medogonku, where the sweet product is extracted by centrifugal force. The device is set in motion by hand or by an electric motor. Amber liquid splashed on the walls of honey. Cassettes with the framework overturned several times, ensuring maximum yield of valuable liquids.
- When the tank is picked honey, fresh flavored product is poured through a sieve into a clean dry container.
- Some beekeepers recommend defend natural sweetness 2-3 day. Then remove the top splyvshi foam and wax particles, ready to pour honey into containers for storage or sale.
Quality is not mature product flows, and falls tape. Experienced beekeepers immediately ready for measuring humidity refractometer honey, best indicator – not more 18-20%.
When the staple pumped, begin to restore order. Hive frames are sorted and dried.
To avoid wax moth, room fumigated with sulfur dioxide twice, following a two-week interval.

Also with dietary supplement insects provide additional scope, which was to make processed food.
Having syrup, bees activated, begin to fly in search of nectar and pollen sources.
As growth promoters and improving defenses used needles, garlic, Pauline, yarrow – in the form of extracts or concoctions.
Uses and industrial additives: "Virusan", "Polisan", "Bee". Nutrient to finish until the bees do not stop taking syrup.
By the end of the month again check stocks, bring them to normal – street full of insects least 2 kg of honey and 0,3 kg of pollen.
Given feeding each hive has 23-30 kg nutrient stocks.
The attack bees and prevention methods
In late summer notch cut not only because of cold weather, but also because of the threat of attack – During this period it grows.
