  1. Of course the school of biology known that honeybee included in the subset of the genus Apis. In turn honeybees differ in the construction of perennial nests out of wax, as well as methods of production and storage of the main product of honey bees. At this point in time there are seven species of honeybees, which have been officially recognized.
  2. it is known that in nature the bees make their nests in rock crevices or in the hollows of old trees. On apiaries of bees kept in artificial dwellings (hives), which are designed to replace them with "natural houses". The main objective of the hive is the maximum approximation of conditions of existence of the bee colony to the conditions of its existence in a natural home (natural hollows).
  3. The life of bee colonies in the apiary (bee keeping bee hives) passes in the hive throughout the year. In the hive the bees build their nest, consisting of a wax comb, and the spaces between them (the so-called streets). These cells are placed in a special frame. The structure of each hexagonal cell includes cells that are located on both sides. These cells are suspended so that they are perpendicular to the bottom of the hive. A cell in the honeycomb rebuilt parallel to the bottom of the hive with a certain slope upwards, which certainly contributes to a better retention of liquid nektara.V cells honeybees cultivated brood (male bee and the bee). Feed for brood (bee bread and honey) bee brood placed just above and on either side of him.
  4. In the hive the bees maintained the required temperature. And if the brood comb is not present, the temperature is maintained at 13 to 28-degrees. If the brood comb appeared, the temperature in the hive has stabilized to 34-35 degrees above zero. In addition to temperature, the bees also support the required level of moisture from 65 th to 88%.
