Beekeeping seems to many to be hard work, which necessarily leads to a couple of dozen bites. Therefore, many questions certainly arise before the newly converted happy owner of the hives. Where to place the apiary on the site? What breed of bees to breed and how to take care of it seasonally so as not to fight with bees for the right to go outside? How to get honey, check its quality and store it correctly? Where and how to survive the winter with bees? In fact, maintaining an apiary is not as difficult as it seems uninitiated. The famous beekeeper-practitioner Vadim Tikhomirov will prove this from personal experience. He will answer all the questions that arise step by step, share non-obvious secrets about organizing apiaries and caring for bee families, talk about the biology of bees and the history of beekeeping. The book will be useful not only for novice beekeepers, but also for everyone who loves honey and uses other beekeeping products.
