Preservation of the honeybee population as a pollinator of entomophilous plants under climatic and anthropogenic impacts

The anthropogenic impact on the flight activity of bees in the conditions of the Lipetsk region was studied. The effect of pesticides on bee colonies was assessed. The characteristics of the effect of pesticides of different hazard classes on the viability and productivity of bee colonies are given. An analysis of the impact of beekeepers on bees is made. Recommendations for improving the condition of the apiary through the influence of beekeepers are outlined. The best methods of treatment and feeding of bees for better development and strength building are summarized. A comparison was made of queens of natural and artificial mating. The difference between queens of artificial insemination and queens of natural mating in their behavior, egg production, honey productivity, survival rate and malice was assessed. The necessity of using the method of instrumental insemination of queen bees in the apiary to preserve the breed and improve the economic and useful characteristics of bees is substantiated. Conclusions are drawn based on the results obtained.
