Balanced beekeeping.
Today, speaking about beekeeping, I decided to look at it through the eyes of a person who only at that moment had the idea to take up this interesting, useful and sometimes profitable business.
The word beekeeping sounds unambiguous, we will breed bees and as a result receive beekeeping products in the form of honey, wax, cappings, pollen, proplis, bee bread, bee dead, royal jelly, drone homogenate... did I miss anything?
In addition to this, you can breed queen bees, engage in selection, sell newly created bee families, it sounds fabulous.
But, all this has its price in terms of the fact that the beekeeper will have to sacrifice something for this and we will talk about this.
For a novice beekeeper, it is very convenient to have your own apiary near other beekeepers from whom, if necessary, you can always buy extra frames with dry bees built by bees, but such a neighborhood limits your options if, for example, you decide to raise queen bees of a certain breed yourself, especially if your neighbors have bees of a different breed.
To do this, your apiary must be located beyond the capabilities of other bees of your neighbors and exceed fifteen kilometers to the nearest apiary.
When we are talking about a dozen hives, then it may be possible to cope with having a passenger car to help, but the thought of a truck or a cargo minibus will definitely visit you over time, to transport the hives closer to the honey collection points.
The presence of electricity will not be superfluous, and the further you are from civilization, the less you should hope for this.
When it comes to protecting your apiary, especially if you decide to spend the winter in the city, it would be nice if there were reliable neighbors near your house in the village, no one has yet cancelled theft lol.
Well, and if you decide to entrust the protection of the apiary to a dog, then you will have to come and feed it.
This is just the beginning of an epic in which important points in beekeeping will be weighed that a novice beekeeper, namely me, will have to face.
Below you can see my containers with data that I collect in INLEO and always have quick access to them it is very convenient.
Material thoughts about beekeeping №1
When I visited dense forests, I did not see ideal conditions for bees there, but many beekeepers harvest beekeeping products in such places.
