INDICATORS OF WINTERING, FEED CONSUMPTION, THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST EGG LAYING, DEPENDING ON TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY AND CARBON DIOXIDE

Abstract

In the article, based on the conditions of the Kushoni district of Khatlon region, a strong family winters better than a weak one. For example, in a family of bees weighing 0.5 kg or 5 thousand bees, feed consumption is 86.7% higher than in a family of 1 kg or 10 thousand bees. Therefore, it is in the interests of work to keep a strong family in the apiary. Regarding wintering, he notes that cold air only affects the top of the hive and does not penetrate the center of the hive, since the temperature here is above 12 ° C, often between 25 and 30 ° C. The bees change places again and again during this time, to stay warm and eat. In the months of November and February, feed consumption in the studied bees of the first group increased from 1.4 to 1.5 kg, and in December and January, feed consumption decreased from 1.0 to 0.950 kg, which is 50.0-60.0 g less compared with the studied bees of the first group and the control. Research shows that if the amount of oxygen in the hive decreases, the amount of carbon dioxide in the nest increases, which negatively affects the survival of the bee colony. Oxygen gas, which makes up 21% in the atmosphere, reaches 18% in winter in the Kushoniyon district of Khatlon region, which is 3% less than in space.
