Work beekeeper only at first glance seems relatively "is not a dusty": Clothed protective suit and walk yourself verify hives.
In fact, should know and be able to very much.
. Framework
should be a lot: first, the bees swarm and they must be captured and
transplanted into new hives (fortunately, swarming period has ended),
and secondly, the framework should be replaced as they fill with honey.
So that part is done in reserve.
. In the frame is stretched thin wire, which is fixed combs.
Each frame is fastened a plate.
Fixed
using a special device. This video is on the handle, which is kept in
boiling water. Honeycombs placed under the wire, the hot spot goes to
the wire and sticks honeycombs by melting it.
Some hives are rebuilt another floor. There are inserted into a new framework.
Not
all frames can be taken away. It is normal for a third of the hundred
or more sealed, honey is ready. Therefore, some frames at once returned
to the hives on the "revision"
And these bees have little scope. They have built comb outside.
Sometimes
you can see how hundreds of young bees emerge. Force them only enough
to progryzt "cap" cell. A few days to feed other bees, then it comes out
completely, to gain strength.
What
is cut is called "zabrus. We can say that it is a mixture of honey, wax
and bee enzymes. Very valuable stuff. Valued at ten times more
expensive than honey. They say that is very helpful for colds in the
winter.
Rotate the frame must be correct. At first slowly, then in full force. The framework for this Rotates 180 degrees.
