Development of biotechnological method for temporary isolation of filled honeycombs to increase the productivity of honey collection and the quality of bee hone

The honey productivity of bee colonies during the bribe from the white acacia was increased by the method of selection of unripe honey from the nest. Empty honeycombs were substituted in their place. On the fifth day of honey collection from white acacia in the families of the research group, a third one with empty combs was placed between two buildings. Between buildings 2 and 3, a bee limiter was placed, allowing worker bees to easily get into building 2, but did not allow them to come back. Sampling of honey, analysis of physical and chemical parameters was carried out according to DSTU 4497: 2005 "Natural honey. Technical conditions" (DSTU 4497: 2005, 2007). The use of a biotechnological technique for the temprary isolation of filled cells with unripe honey to increase the honey yield by an average of 26.6% and preserve the quality of the finished product has been substantiated. At the time of bribe from white acacia, freshly brought nectar contained an average of 23.57% sucrose and 38.95% water. Until the end of the first day of the experiment, under the intense influence of the receiving bees, 13.35% of the water is removed on the product, due to which a rapid increase in the concentration of sucrose occurred.At the final stage of the ninth day of maturation, the bees sealed mature honey with a water content of 16.40%, sucrose - 4.95% and 75.64% monosaccharides. Upon the return of the isolated combs with the immature product to the nest, the bees had access to the product for 3 days, and then on the 4th day they began to seal the cells. Honey in terms of water, monosugar and sucrose content did not differ from the product in the control group of bee colonies.

Key words: honeyripening, bees, sucrose, monosaccharides, whiteacacia, nectar.
