Lesson № 5

"So, children, bees nest can expand as well as you think, than you can extend the hive?" - Asked Tamara V. in the next lesson. "Establishing a second body! - Said Artyom. "Or shop!" - "Nastya said. "Or transplanted the family of bees in the hive-lager! - Said the girl, her grandfather was a beekeeper, and she had long been aware of a lot of bees. "And what is the hive-lounger? - Asked Pooh. "Just think, - said the owl, - is it not clear that the hive is, and there are many frames! Sova - smart, - cried Piglet - she knows a lot! " "You - Well done, guys, all the correct answers - Tamara V. pulled out a large wooden box without a bottom - that's what a second building, and we now put at first. We must at all times slightly ahead of the bees, but do not be late, but not then the young bees, which have nothing to do, there will be swarms mood, and he is already difficult to get rid beekeeper. Such a situation, we will discuss later, but now Let us staging the second building. " "I have a friend beekeeper, so he believes that the bees need to stay ahead a few moves. For example, he puts the second building when there is cool, not waiting for a good reproduction of bees. And to cool the nest of a large volume of the hive, it covers the first Corps newspaper, and the bees, of course, at the right time, they begin to develop the second building, and tearing the paper, are pieces of it and throw. It is interesting to see how the bee is a piece of paper, so he says - says Tamara V. - I'm with him did not agree in this case, because the newspaper - a harmful thing, the companionship - the profession is considered to be harmful, because there are lead-free part and the bees always know - what is harmful, and throw a newspaper, even if you it at the bottom of the hive positive. Best friends with the bees, know the calendar of their lives, know their capabilities, habits, watch the weather, and will always be in rhythm with them to live and work. " Tamara V. pulled out from the middle of the nest box with the brood, provided to hold the Winnie the Pooh, in place of the frame put the frame with honeycombs, beehive on top of the second building and put in it, taking the Pooh frame with a brood raised in the second case. Next to the frame with brood raised dryness with a small amount of honey and ambrosia to the two sides, still near the stern frame, and asked the children to look and see what happened. Winnie the Pooh he saw bees on the bottom part, where there was no framework of the Second Corps. "We have here two ways - said Tamara V. - young polozhkami cover frame with bees first block on two sides and top in the second building to other polozhkom. We have helped bees to learn the second case, setting the second frame with a brood of bees. Uterus also rise up, and sow the eggs dry land next to this frame, the young bees will rise up, and will feed the larvae, and then we will expand the nest by adding a box with sushyu or honeycombs. Well, the second output - the entire second block to get outside with sushyu, and no longer worry, let them grow, produce nectar, transform it into honey, and we will wait until they did not seal, and then take, and pump out the honey. We've recently created a training apiary, we do not yet enough land, because we choose the first option. Tamara V. small polozhkami frame covered with bees is the first case, then the second building, closed the lid. From the tap-hole of the second building seemed to bee-keeper. "Hello", - said they Tamara V.. "Hello", - told them children. The sun shone with a blue sky, smell of herbs and flowers, the bees flew and brought obnozhku bee, nectar, water, was in a good mood at all, and children and the bees. "And here is a beehive-lounger - showed Tamara V. Long beehive - it fits 16 frames (in the standard beehive - 12 frames), and there are beehives and 20 frames. The expansion comes on the sides, not up. And beekeepers argue that bees better: as in the hollow, on the outside - vertical expansion or horizontal. How bees can grow up in a hollow, - said grumpily Owl - except that they will chew on it, and make sawdust like a newspaper. " Everyone laughed. "Our expansion is not finished. If a strong family, then further put more housing, or store, two stores. What we have done - just the beginning." Tamara V. - squeaked Piglet - and what a "shop"? "This is a place where bees sell honey," - said the girl, the granddaughter of beekeeping. "Pchelovolshebnitsa" - called her to himself Winnie the Pooh, while everyone laughed. "Almost right joked our Masha, - laughing," said Tamara V. - shop beekeepers called polukorpus with frames, which is half the size of nest-frame. Practically, this is, indeed, honey for the beekeeper, for sale, and therefore so named. In Pooh preserved sensation of touching the lives of bees, when he was holding the box with the brood, all covered by young bees. Bees continued their work, not paying attention to Winnie the Pooh, is not angry with him, as if realizing that he helps them, that he - a member of their family, and they, in gratitude to him, bring him, Winnie the Pooh, honey. He went home, and his hands seemed to have continued to carry the box with the bees, and quite, well, then, the slightest he was not afraid.
