Advantages of beekeeping

The invaluable role of bees in pollinating plants, as well as the nutritional and medicinal value of honey, they are the stimuli to breed these insects. However, because the apiaries are professionally run, consisting of a significant number of trunks (i.e.. hives with bees), they cannot ensure effective pollination of crops, orchards and forestry in every corner of the country, there is a need to keep small apiaries.

Beekeeping versus other subsidiaries; Taking classes has many advantages:
– devoting free time to the care of bees, construction of hives and beekeeping equipment (often from waste materials) compensation may be obtained in the form of apiculture products for personal use and for sale;
– work with bees is seasonal and does not have to be performed in bad weather conditions and in winter;
– you do not need your own plot to run a beekeeping farm, because the area for setting up hives with bees can be leased;
– bees can be handled by virtually anyone, who is not allergic to bee venom, also people with limited physical fitness.

However, when deciding to set up an apiary, they need to remember, that bees do not produce honey from the feed given to them, but they process the flower nectar into honey. They collect it for their own needs in the time of the so-called benefit. The collection of nectar is conditioned by the abundance of nectar-producing plants in the flight range of bees and by weather conditions. The cost of rearing bees is quite high. Long flights and the delicacy of their body cause, that many bees die prematurely for many reasons (rains, low temperature, wind, pests, non-compliant use of insecticides). Listed here, just some factors, cause, that the "production" of honey fluctuates greatly from year to year.
