Энциклопедия пчеловода. От первого улья до собственной пасеки

Beekeeping seems to many as a heavy labor that inevitably leads to a couple of dozen stings. Therefore, the newly converted happy owner of hives inevitably faces many questions. Where to place the apiary on the plot? What breed of bees to raise and how to take seasonal care of them so as not to fight with the bees for the right to go outside? How to get honey, check its quality and store it properly? Where and how to survive the winter with the bees?
In reality, keeping an apiary is not as difficult as it seems to the uninitiated. This will be proven by the well-known practical beekeeper Vadim Tikhomirov through personal experience. He will systematically answer all the arising questions, share non-obvious secrets of organizing the apiary and caring for bee families, talk about the biology of bees and the history of beekeeping. The book will be useful not only for beginner beekeepers but also for everyone who loves honey and uses other beekeeping products.
