Pchelopaketa, bee package
For the organization of new apiaries and for increase in number of families on an apiary with great success it is possible to use package bees. The package is the especially arranged plywood box in which send bees with a uterus, with the 100-th and rasplody. In one package-4 of a frame:
- Frame with rasplody
- Frame with rasplody
- Frame with a forage
- Frame with the 100-th
The foundation to package beekeeping was laid by the American beekeeper A.I. Ruth who began to send bees in packages. Began to send bezsotovy families in the special, especially arranged plywood boxes later. In our country the package beekeeping got especially wide circulation. Advantage of packages is that they can be dispatched on long distances. In northern areas with a rich medosbor it is more favorable to take away in the fall all honey, bees to light, and to get pchelopaketa from the South in the spring.
Early approach of spring in the south allows to increase bees since March and to remove a uterus in April when in the north of a bee still are in zimovnik. At the beginning of May from strong families select part of bees and together with the impregnated young uterus send on the North.
Conclusion of 1 kg of young bees in the south will be always cheaper than 1 kg of the bees brought in the north to the same term. Therefore packages - the cheapest way of acquisition of bees. Short and rather easy wintering of bees in the south most favors to early building of bees. Therefore such specialization of the southern beekeeping allows to use more stoutly natural resources of both the southern, and northern grounds.
Transfer and food of bees to ways
For transfer of bees the plywood boxes which do not have a grid and any special air vents are used. For full safety of bees in way the ventilation happening through plywood and cracks of a package suffices. In a continuous plywood package light disturbs bees less and does not cause in them aspiration to take off. Therefore in a deaf package of a bee are in a quiet state and better transfer transportation.
Framework or semi-framework with the 100-th, the filled honey are applied to food of bees in way. Honey in a frame has to be obligatory printing in number of about 2 kg.
Duration of stay of bees in way
Bees normally transfer transfer lasting up to 10-12 days, and for such time the package of bees can be delivered to any place. An opportunity to send bees by planes facilitates and accelerates their delivery. Bees with a uterus get on the North almost by the beginning of a season, and, in the presence of sufficient force and a bribe, they soon turn into the full-fledged families capable it is good to use a medosbor.
