Lesson number 1 BREEDING BEES

Best Gift - in my - honey! " - Said to myself, Winnie the Pooh - but if you no one makes a gift, you must yourself take care of myself and start driving the bees! " He porasprashival around about where we trained bees to drive, and then went to the district stations for young naturalists. It turned out, he came very timely: on Wednesdays, from 16 hours per week the guys discuss the work plan for the apiary, and then sent to a training apiary and realize their plans into action. "If they allow the bees" - thought Pooh. "You, Michael, very properly dressed, - said to him, Tamara V. - you have a shirt with long sleeves and pants. Here you have a white robe, put on, and the apiary wear, so take it, a beekeeper's hat with net, and gloves. " "And now, children, write in notebooks today's date and the topic:" Propagation of bees, and draw someone sees as a beehive. " "Propagation of bees - it is good, and when many bees, the honey and a lot" - thought Pooh. And Winnie the Pooh began to draw. He drew a high tree, well it leaves, and something like a starling. Around birdhouse painted buzzing bees. "Your picture, Misha is very beautiful, but today we not talking about the wild bee living in the woods, and of those about whom we care, so that's a square with a round hole, we'll call hive. Tamara V. drawn from Winnie the Pooh in a notebook hive. "The word" swarm "All the guys have probably heard. It flies from the hive when lots of bees and their queen, their mother. Roy can sit here on this tree, which drew Misha, and some time to wait. What is he waiting for? Quartermaster - that is, bees spies, who are seeking a future home for a swarm, and then arrive and report. Roy, all the bees and the queen, they listen, and then make a decision, removed from the tree, and fly into that best apartment for them, they have chosen. We have a method of breeding bees is not suitable, because they can fly us to an unknown destination. We will choose another method: offshoot. Here is the beehive, which we drew, we like it otodvinem half a hive (or in another way: half a summer of field bees, which will return him to the field), and next, half-summer, put another hive until empty, and then divide nearly half of the hive into two frames: frame with eggs the future of bees, brood frames with printed (almost adult kids bee), feed frame with honey and ambrosia (bee bread). In one of the hives will be the uterus, it usually sits on a frame with eggs, and we will try to find her, but if we do not see - not a problem, a week later, when take a look at the hive, then, where we find the queen cells, which deduce bee queens, obviously, the queen in another hive. That's still our goal today, and now go to the apiary. Winnie the Pooh, as he walked, he asked himself, and not afraid whether he, and looked out across that no, not scary. "I have absolutely no open seats on the body (as Tamara V. said), and even if the bees set his face to me, perhaps, they are nowhere to be done. And then, Tamara V. says we'll talk with bees, kindly tell them that we want to do, and why it will be useful for the bees (and for us too, I think). " - So thought Pooh, putting on a beekeeper's hat. Children before the lesson ate bee royal jelly, which they distributed Tamara V., "and now we have to bees at all his" - she said, eating his portion of milk. At the apiary bees buzzing pleasantly, there was not an angry one, a frame with eggs they saw, but the uterus had not been spotted, perhaps she is hiding from them. Beehive put back, put another half-summer, half of the framework to move, covered polozhkami, roofs. They stood, looked at how bees work. They brought the bees on his hind legs in baskets obnozhku bee - flower pollen, which is in the hive then turn into ambrosia - bee bread, which the bee-nurse their babies will be fed bees. "And we, too," - thought Pooh to learn from Tamar Vasilyevna that ambrosia for the children of men the best bread and the children who eat ambrosia, or bee obnozhku, grow well, learn well and do not get sick. "You were interested, Misha?" - Asked Tamara V.. "Yes, - said Winnie the Pooh - I'll be going to learn to drive the bees!"
