Lesson number 4

Winnie the Pooh and Piglet sat on a bench and tried to read a newspaper through the lists honeycombs. Tamara V. told them to follow up this point: as soon as the letters are visible, then it's time sheet honeycombs to impose on the frame with a stretched wire, and slightly crushed in places touching honeycombs and wire to wire as it is welded in a sheet of honeycombs. "Winnie, I see!" - Cried Piglet. "- I read! From the house came Tamara V., approached him, looked up, took a piece of honeycombs carefully so as not to crush, and put it on the frame. "Look, guys - she said - the top sheet of honeycombs must touch the bottom of the shoulder, and a small narrow piece of honeycombs honeycombs We've attached a sheet to frame the shoulders, and then the bees themselves sustained. If we do not, then the sheet will sag and bee will be difficult to fix exactly, but when they poured the nectar into the cells (naprysk), then he can and develop into. Tamara V. fingers lightly attached to a stretched honeycombs in several rows to the wire. She lifted the box and showed Winnie the Pooh and Piglet as honeycombs well soldered, never sags. The following lists honeycombs Piglet and Winnie the Pooh impose themselves and lightly touched in the field, where the wire, honeycombs, and to cleave to her shoulders, then lifted the box and admired the work done. The sun was shining on the decomposition of the following lists of honeycombs, heats and sterilized sheets and making them transparent. Winnie the Pooh and Piglet were interested in such work, and they have done for five frames with honeycombs, where they were joined by other boys. "Now you are interchanged, - said Tamara V. - Winnie the Pooh and Piglet will pull the wire to the frame, and we are here to continue their work." The house was another job. Template attached to the sidewall of the frame, marked in pencil, where the awl to bore a hole for the wire, then stanochek helped them stretch to the wire does not sag, and crack down in the ground end of the wire. "And in the woods in a hollow, bees who pulls the wire?" - Asked Pooh Tamara Vassilyevna. "Yes, no, of course - Tamara V. laughed, - for them and wire, and there is no framework. They attach to the ceiling cavities future drought, and begin to build it, trying to build smoothly and in compliance with the rules so that when they are filled with honey, then did not broke off, but take away from them then, without breaking, impossible. Previously, when were not invented frame and the hive, people took away their honey in fact destroying their nest. And now, we have them take away part of the framework in order to pump out the honey, but they leave for the winter. When they did a few frames, then went to the apiary to put frames with honeycombs in the hive - to expand the slot. Where was the queen in a hive, the bees quickly multiplied, drew the young bees, and they needed a job: to build drought, the queen will lay eggs and nurse young bees will feed them, but, moreover, said Tamara V., requires a more recent drought, but from the old, we then heated with the wax. Bees did not mind when they put honeycombs. Draw apart the frames of brood and inserted into frames with honeycombs. In the framework of the names of the guys were signed and year of the frame. Winnie the Pooh has not been afraid. Bees sometimes sat on his gloved hand, but they have not had an aggressive attitude, bee not gnawed, and just sat there, resting, and sometimes she would sit on the grid, and still was not terrible, but it was so close to the face. "Why is called the" nest ", the bees do not birds? - Asked Rabbit Tamara Vassilyevna. "Yeah, - said to myself, Winnie the Pooh - I, too, did not understand!" "Here, look, guys, - said Tamara V., showing nearby beehive - there are no bees and the hive is still called a hive. The bees of the uterus called the family. We can go with an empty hive to another beekeeper, agreed to buy from him family of bees and put them in our hive. For example, a family of bees was the size of vosmiulochkovoy (street - the distance between the framework within which they live bees), so, those eight frames with streets between them, where they live bees - called their nest. Bees are multiply and placed already 10 lanes, so they have a nest will consist of 10 frames of bees with narrow streets between them, but we'll still put them honeycombs couple of frames, they are its built, multiply, will take 2 more streets, and their nest is already on 12 frames. What's wrong with that word applied to the birds can be applied also to the bee? " "We are here, too, nest - muttered Owl - gathered around you." Everyone laughed.
