CHARACTERISTICS OF BEE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH PERIODS

Abstract

Abstract: In the article, the bee family does not simply increase in live weight
during the growth period, but during this period, two different, contradictory, opposite
processes occur in their life. That is, if the number of births in a bee family is less than
the number of deaths, bees from such families will decrease day by day without
development, and if the number of births in a bee family is equal to the number of
deaths, such bee families will not grow. stands on the plain, if the number of births in
a bee family is greater than the number of deaths, such families are always growing
and developing. In beekeeping, this third period is the most favorable, because during
this period, many new colonies and package bees can be formed from the bee family.
