Abstract:
Beekeeping is an industry that has the potential for
development. In Kherson region the production of honey and the regional
union of beekeepers are actively developing.
Beekeeping is a long sought tradition of the people and only in the early
19th century it became a branch of agriculture. At the present time, beekeeping
as an industry is engaged not only in the breeding of bee families and the
production of products of their own origin, but also in the use of bees for the
plant pollination of entomophilic crops. Ukraine is a country of intensive
agriculture, where almost half of crop cultivation requires cross-pollination.
Bees give us honey, wax, flower pollen, milky milk, bee-glue, bee poison,
drone larvae homogenate. Moreover, recently Apis Mellifera has been used in
medicine (bodies of dead bees).
