Description:
This small Beekeeping manual has been prepared with the thought put in the beekeepers who already are, and also in those who later decide to join this rewarding discipline, using two essential arguments: the need to know that we all feel and a certain methodology to do In time. The first development has been nourished by a collection of themes, the beginning of which is dedicated to the bees themselves; After a brief review of its peculiarities, the reader will delve into this exciting world by the hand of its accommodations, for which an overview is offered about the types of hives most used, its accessories, the installation of the apiary, the flora of greater interest and how many observations of a normative nature have to be taken into account to start it. Given the possibility of a beekeeping exercise, which can range from the parameters of a simple hobbyist to a professional approach, sufficient clues are offered on the reproduction of the colonies and the design of an exploitation plan; The most elementary techniques for its government are broken down, as well as those of production, properly speaking, to orient them towards the various yields: honey, pollen, royal jelly, wax and propolis, leaving behind an intense pollination work, both of the wild flora as cultivated. The most frequent diseases, the so-called traceability of products and a list of simple tips to get started in the matter, complete the knowledge section. The second is structured around the evocative impulse of the annual calendar, through which you will discover, month by month, the ins and outs of more than fifty tasks typical of the daily bustle, to serve as a guide and contribute to making Beekeeping an occupation: if amateur, healthy and enjoyable; if with economic pretensions, so as not to disappoint you.
