Abstract:
The paper presents the results of the study on the use of natural bioregulator in bee feed. It was found out that the optimal dose of use of the natural bioregulator MF-SIP-26 (ApiStev) in bee feed is 3.0 ml solution 3% / l of inverted corn syrup when replenishing winter reserves and in the spring in the absence of maintenance honey collection. Feeding a family of bees with a mixture of inverted corn syrup with a concentration of 1.5: 1 and a natural bioregulator in the amount of 2.0 L in autumn ensures the increase of immunity and winter hardiness by 8.33%, and feeding a family of bees in the spring with 1: 1 syrup and in the amount of 1.0 L of mixture over every 7 .... 9 days, from April until the main collection, increases the strength growth of bee families by 25.38%, the number of broods by 32.73%, the spawning of queens by 32.74%, and the production of honey by 33.57% more than in control group II.
