FORMATION OF NEW BEE BRANCHES, USE OF MOTHER BEES AND DIVIDING THE BEE FAMILY INTO TWO EQUAL PARTS

Abstract

Abstract: n the article, in beekeeping in most regions of our Republic, new
beehives are often formed at the expense of unfertilized queen bees or mature queens.
For this, strong bee families are selected, making sure that they have mature queens,
and they are divided into several sections with 2-4 frames with barrier boards. In order
not to find a mother bee from a bee family and fly into a newly formed hive, it is taken
to the beekeeper's portable box together with the frame and bees. Then 1-3 closed-
breed frames from this family are moved to a new box with bees in them. Young bees
from 1-2 frames are given to the new hive to shake and strengthen, and the
recommendation to place a nutrient frame on the edge of the hive is highlighted.
