Further care is taken during the flowering of the gooseberries. It is then possible to use stimulant feeding, activating bees for increased reproduction (giving carbohydrate foods, protein) and enlarge the nests by inserting ready-made light brown slices, suitable for red. However, adding frames must be carefully considered, because during this period the increase in the number of bees is slow, it may also decrease, and too large a nest prevents the bees from maintaining a sufficiently high temperature, conditioning the proper brood rearing.
On the grounds, in which it occurs early and profuse, but a short-term benefit, 8 is enough for development…10 frames. In areas of later use, usually longer, can be spent on development
10…12 frames. Please note, that only approx. 15 in May, bees secrete a significant amount of wax and have the ability to build combs in frames with a node on their own. After obtaining a sufficient number of frames in the nest, you need to enlarge the living space of the bees by adding the so-called. warehouse part, intended for collecting honey. On stock 1 kg of nectar requires three times the surface area of the slices than it occupies 1 kg of honey. The correct timing for adding extensions or forming honey is usually determined by observing the growth rate of bee colonies and the intensity of bee flights for nectar..
