Process for feeding bees

Abstract

The invention relates to apiculture, namely to a process for feeding bees. The process, according to the invention, comprises feeding the bees in the spring period with a mixture of 50% sugar syrup and 1.25-3.5 mL/L of a 2% aqueous solution of hexaaminocobalt(III) chloride, in the amount of 1.0 L of the mixture per bee family, every 7 days, from April to the main honey flow.

Feeding bees in the spring with a mixture of 1:1 sugar syrup and a solution of hexaaminecobalt(III) chloride, in an amount of 1.0 L of the mixture per bee colony, every 7 days, starting in April until the main harvest, increases the strength of bee colonies by 6.67-31.33%, the number of brood hatched and honey production.
