Comparative evaluation of some stimulants used in bee feeding
Abstract: In some years, up to 20-30% of bee colonies die during the winter, and in the spring, they develop poorly and, as a result, their productivity decreases during the honey harvest. The aim of the study was to perform comparatively evaluate some stimulants used in bee feeding to increase wint...

| Summary: | Abstract: In some years, up to 20-30% of bee colonies die during the winter, and in the spring, they develop poorly and, as a result, their productivity decreases during the honey harvest. The aim of the study was to perform comparatively evaluate some stimulants used in bee feeding to increase winter hardiness and productivity of bee colonies. The bees were fed with a mixture of sugar syrup with biostimulants when replenishing food supplies for the winter in the first ten days of September and in the spring from the end of March to the beginning of May. It has been established that feeding bee colonies when stocking up their winter feed reserves with a mixture of sugar syrup with stimulants 2 times per 3 liters increases their winter hardiness: chloramicob 2.5 ml/l - by 11.11%; 3% glucuronic acid solution and choline chloride 2.5 ml/l - 17.46%; 3% choline chloride solution 2.25 ml/l - 22.11% and 3% glucuronic acid solution 2.5 ml/l - 3.18%. It was revealed that spring feeding of bee colonies with a mixture of sugar syrup with stimulants, one liter every 7 days, starting from the end of March until the beginning of the flowering of white acacia in the absence of supporting honey collection increases colonies strength by 10.83-64.17%, brood rearing by 12.40-34.11% and honey productivity by 12.13-33.73%. |
