What is bee bread and how is it formed?

To prepare the beetroot, you need to select 200-300 g of this product from each family of bees. Perga is recommended to choose from the honeycombs that are rejected.
Bees collect pollen even in the absence of honey collection. Thanks to the acquired instincts, these insects stack pollen grains in a honeycomb near the open brood and under it. It is this feature that will allow beekeepers to receive from 10 to 20 kg of product from each main bee family. It is easiest to harvest bee bread in multihull hives.
The algorithm for obtaining the product is as follows:
- When the winter generation of bees is replaced by the spring one, the bodies with an open brood and also with empty honeycombs are laid on the bottom of each hive.
- Separate grilles are placed on top. This is necessary so that the uterus does not occupy the cells by inoculation.
- After filling the lower case with a feather, it is replaced with an empty one.
A wax-sealed case with bee pollen can be stored for several years, and their useful properties will not be lost. The main thing is to prevent freezing of the finished product, since at low temperatures the vitamins contained in the perga die.
