Beekeeping. An apiary, how is honey extracted?

More and more people are engaged in beekeeping today. Some put in their garden two or three beehives to provide the family with a tasty and useful product, someone gets a treasured bee-seed as a gift or inheritance and dissolves in beekeeping for life, and someone tries to make money on the production of honey.

But in any of these options next to the bees is a person not indifferent to them.

The chimney is designed to "wince" the vigilance of bees while working with hives. Her branches or herbs are laid in it, they are burned. Having heard the smell of smoke, working bees for a while lose the opportunity to transmit to other bees a signal of danger through pheromones. Also, a part of the bees are gaining honey in the goose, so that in case of a fire fly away with a small stock of honey, but because of the physiological features this stock of honey does not allow the bees to sting, because they can not bend the belly for a bite at the right angle. Beekeepers use it to avoid excess bites.

To prevent human intervention in the life of a bee family is not a tragedy for them, it is necessary to know some of its vital features.

Each bee family has its own uterus. It is considerably larger than the working bees. Her only occupation is the laying eggs in honeycombs. This is on average about one and a half thousand a day. The most reproductive is uterus up to two years. Work days of breeding begin at the beginning of March and continue until frostbite. The uterus has a recipe from several bees that are fed and cleaned behind it. Without a uterus, the swarm is not able to exist, and when it is lost, it actively begins to lay the matrix for the conclusion of a new one.

The inventory, without which no beekeepers can do without regard to the number of hives in his possession and knowledge in the field of beekeeping, can be divided into three main groups:

Appliances for work on an apiary.
Accessories for bees care.
