BEE COMMUNITY FORMING METHOD (OPTIONS) Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A01K49/00 A01K67/33 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to the field of agriculture, namely to beekeeping, and may be used on large apiaries of farmers and household apiaries of beekeepers-amateurs when forming a bee community. In the first version of the method of forming a bee community, the queen is set, the frames is shaken down and the community is examined. In this case, preliminarily form the brood of a new bee community without the queen and maintain it for at least three days. Then, the bee queen is prepared and transplanted without the bees of the suite into the cell for the decoy queens. Further in the daytime, all the frames are examined for the presence of queen cells, the bees are shaken off from all the frames to the bottom of the hive, and after the examination they place a cell for the placement of queens with a fetal uterus on a honeycomb or hang it between frames and honeycombs, depending on the cell design. Queen is released no earlier than 12 hours later on the frame located next to the cell, and observe the exit of the uterus and the reaction of the bees. If signs of aggression after the exit of queen from the cell there, put the frame with a honeycomb in place and collect the nest. In the presence of bees aggression, repeat the examination of all the frames of the nest and, in the presence of a queen-cell or uterus of unknown origin, destroy them and re-form the bee community. In the second variant, the method of forming a bee community is performed by the decoy queen and examination of the community. At the same time, for a planned replacement, the queen is removed from the community and the community is left without queen for at least three days, and then the operations mentioned above are performed and repeated.

EFFECT: group of the invention provides an increase in the efficiency of the industrial content of honey bees by increasing the number of adopted queens and eliminating the likelihood of repeated grafting of the queens, as well as by simplifying the process of replanting the fetal queen bee in a community of bees.
