Did you know? A sandwich with honey, consumed in the morning after a holiday, can help relieve the uncomfortable sensations of a hangover, as it removes alcohol from the body.

Specially sown honey plants

Experienced beekeepers, in order to get a good bribe of a sweet product, practice sowing honey plants on their own. So you can pick up those plants that will grow well in the selected area. And in this way, you can significantly increase the amount of collected honey.

The best honey plants for bees and popular for self-cultivation are:

• Yellow and white sweet clover. This plant blooms in May and continues to bloom until late summer. If you provide landings proper carethen the bush can grow up to 2 m in height. The shade of flowers depends directly on the type of plant. Sweet clover is suitable for almost any type. It easily tolerates heat, grows well from seeds. Honey from this plant is considered the most valuable, so it is not for nothing that many beekeepers actively grow it.
  In order to grow yellow or white Melilot on your own, you should definitely hold the seeds, this will help the sprouts to break through faster. Planting is recommended in early spring or before they come. It is important to guess the sowing time so that the sprouts have time to break through before the onset of cold weather. The productivity of a honey plant can reach 270 kg of honey per hectare.
  
• ... For bees, you can start cultivating both pink and white clovers. Flowers at first glance may seem inconspicuous, but they are very much loved. The plant grows remarkably in an area where people walk a lot. He is not afraid of either rain or temperature drops. The only thing that will be very harmful to clover is the shade. It is important to provide him with good access to the sun's rays. Clover honey has white color, strong aroma, and is also very rich in nutrients. Up to 100 kg of honey can be harvested from one hectare of land sown with clover. Sowing of this plant should be done in August. To grow pink clover per one hundred square meters of land, you will need 5 kg of seeds, for white - 3 kg of planting material. Seeds should not be planted deeper than 1 cm into the ground after planting and must be watered abundantly. The first shoots usually appear in just two weeks. The flowering period will take all summer, so it is very profitable for the beekeeper to grow clover.
  
• ... This plant is native to Asia. It begins to bloom in July and continues until the end of autumn. The flowers are pink or lilac. To grow it on the site, you can use seeds or simply divide the bush. Seeds cannot be buried too deep, the maximum depth should be about 0.5 cm, otherwise they simply will not germinate. Landing should be done in light

Dreaming is a herb that can be recognized by its unusual colorslike umbrellas. And as a species, it belongs just to the Umbrella family. There is grass in everyday life very often and is an excellent honey plant!

Honey productivity

To dream is perennial. It is used not only as a honey plant, but also as a medicine, feed, and even added to salads. The grass grows horizontally, its stem is even, straight, and branches upward. At the top is an umbrella-like inflorescence. Sleep is very honey-producing. Honey from it turns out light, greenish, very tasty and high quality.

The honey productivity of grass per hectare is 160 kg. This plant is especially important for the Western regions of Siberia, because its abilities as a honey plant are very impressive. From 1 hectare of this herb, you can get up to 200 kg of honey. According to its characteristics, it is often placed on a par with Ivan-tea. And if it grows in good conditionsthen as a result brings a lot of pollen and sweet nectar.

The timing and duration of flowering

All bloom to dream summer periodfrom June to August. Bees visit the grass especially well when the sun is already warming well, at about 12 noon. But it can bloom only in bright areas, as in the shade the plant only grows densely.

Spread

You can meet grass in forests and fields. It can grow in thickets of bushes, like a weed around parks, gardens, on roadsides. The grass has covered large areas. It is especially common in the Caucasus, Kazakhstan and Russia. It can also be found in all corners of Europe and in the northern part of Asia.

Increasingly, the owners of suburban areas and summer cottages devote their free time to breeding their own apiaries. The reason for the surge in the development of beekeeping is a wide range of valuable qualities of products produced by bees, as well as an increased interest in the production of environmentally friendly honey.

Honey grasses for bees are the main gathering place for nectar. In the areas sown by them, insects collect record yields.

Has a very useful propertiesand this applies not only to honey. For the treatment of various diseases used:

• propolis;
• wax;
• royal jelly;
• pollen and other beekeeping products.

The name of honey is closely related to the plant on which hardworking insects collect nectar (buckwheat, acacia, mint and others). If bees collected it from several honey plants, the resulting product is called floral or mixed.

Arrangement of suburban areas: sowing flowering plants near apiaries, their characteristics

Some plant species are of particular interest to beekeepers. They are most productive at the time of flowering, and pollen is endowed with the most valuable properties that affect the quality of the finished product. When choosing honey herbs for bees, you need to consider important factors:

• the time of the beginning of flowering;
• flowering period;
• valuable qualities of the plant;
• the amount of collected honey per hectare of sowing;
• peculiarities of growing crops or not).

Land plots near apiaries can be sown with melliferous crops, which at the time of flowering have the most valuable qualities. The list of the most popular herbs includes:

• buckwheat;
• yarrow;
• peppermint;
• oregano;
• clover;
• melissa;
• sunflower and many others.

Let us consider in more detail the features of some plant crops.

Buckwheat

Sowing buckwheat is included in the list of the most valuable that are used by beekeepers to collect the highest quality honey. Her flowering period begins one month after sowing. Its duration is 28-35 days. The culture has taken root in almost all regions of the country, including those located in cold climatic zones. Buckwheat is the most valuable plant for beekeepers.

Honey grasses are especially attractive to bees, as they have a powerful smell that spreads far beyond the crops, thereby serving as a kind of reference point. Depending on weather conditions, the collection of nectar may be disrupted. Under normal circumstances, yields range from 60 to 100 kg of premium honey per hectare.

Buckwheat height ranges from 15 cm to half a meter (depending on the variety). The plant is not capricious to weather conditions, therefore it takes root well in various climatic zones. Buckwheat flowers have white-pink, medium-sized inflorescences that exude a pleasant smell. The scent attracts bees, forcing them to rush to these green fields.

At the moment when flowering begins, many beekeepers prepare mobile apiaries for transporting hives to places where there are crops. After the bee houses are installed, it is necessary to observe the behavior of the insects. It will take several days. Despite the fact that buckwheat is an excellent honey plant, there are times when bees ignore its flowering crops, and this can be costly for beekeepers. In such situations, you need to collect and transport the hives to other areas as quickly as possible.

Clover

The plant belongs to perennial grasses, has several varieties: red, pink and white. All three species are considered first class honey plants and are used as animal feed. Clover has complex inflorescences and attracts bees with its scent. The plant tolerates dryness and heat well. Under good weather conditions, honey yield at the time of flowering is more than 100 kg per hectare.

(photo above) is more picky about the soil and conditions in which it grows. It does not tolerate rainy weather, high humidity and shaded areas. White is not so capricious, he feels normal in cold, frosty periods. Meadow adapts well to almost any soil, but does not like wet and shaded places. Like the red clover, it is found in the wild almost throughout the country.

Clover is sown along with other grasses to increase the amount of honey during harvesting from the sites, after which it is used as animal feed. The inflorescence has the shape of a head, which has from 30 to 100 flowers. The branchiness of the plant improves in the second year. At the time of flowering, the head turns to the ground. Clover, the photo of which is presented above, is one of the most used honey plants.

Lungwort

Belongs to perennial plants of the borage family. The lungwort is one of the herbs that bloom in the first months of spring. This early honey plant grows in Eurasia and is found in Yakutia and Siberia.

When the lungwort blooms, the corolla and petals first have a red tint, but in the end the inflorescence becomes blue. This honey plant is one of the first to be processed by bees after hibernation. The plant is of great value in medicine. The honey obtained from the collection of nectar is extremely useful in its characteristics.

The plant has only 15 species, most of which grow in Europe. Because of the unusually attractive appearance and useful qualities that the lungwort possesses, it is sown with pleasure in personal plots and flower beds. Regardless of the plant subspecies, the average honey yield is about 100 kg of product per hectare.

Narrow-leaved fireweed

The narrow-leaved fireweed plant is popularly known as Ivan-tea. Very often it can be found in wastelands and forest burns. It is a perennial plant of the fireweed family. The stem is abundantly covered with lanceolate leaves and ends with inflorescences of a lilac or purple hue. The beginning of flowering and honey collection occurs in mid-June and lasts almost until the end of July. Ivan tea is considered extremely useful for the human body, since it has healing properties... The honey collected from the flowers of narrow-leaved fireweed is unusually fragrant and tasty, but its medicinal properties are still considered the main advantage.

The plant can be found almost throughout the country. Ivan tea is popular among the people and is used in folk medicine... Honey herbs for bees such as fireweed do not need special sowing. The plant has taken root well on the territory of all regions of the country, and it can be found almost everywhere: it has chosen meadows, fields, forest edges, roadside zones.

Oregano

The period when oregano blooms lasts from July to mid-September. The plant has many other names: forest mint, motherboard, origan, bone-breaking grass. It has an unrivaled aroma and is an excellent honey plant. Oregano can be found throughout Russia, as well as in Crimea, Ukraine and Moldova. The plant loves a lot of light, therefore it is most often found in meadows, near forests and in vast glades. Inflorescences are located at the very top of the stem. The color, color and smell resembles another plant - thyme, with the only difference that oregano is erect, it is easy to notice it among other herbs.

Honey from this plant is added to tinctures, beer, kvass and other products, since this herb is extremely useful. The honey collection time falls on the first days of September, when the inflorescence is gaining strength. The plant is used for pharmaceutical purposes and in folk medicine.

Goldenrod

The herb goldenrod is a representative of meadow melliferous plants, which belong to perennial composites. Inflorescences are solitary, not branched, collected in panicles of a basket. The flower is yellow, has a complex shape.

Goldenrod blooms almost all summer and even in mid-September, the grass can be easily detected by its peculiar inflorescences. It is a good honey plant with a high percentage of sugar, which is the main factor in harvesting. Goldenrod grows throughout the country, except for the regions bordering Central Asia. This representative of Asteraceae tolerates hot weather well, without stopping the flowering process.

Heather

The heather herb is a highly branched perennial plant that looks more like a shrub. The height of the stems is from 30 cm, but sometimes it can reach the meter mark. The bush is densely covered with short, soft, wedge-shaped leaves. At the top of the heather there are bell-shaped inflorescences of both sexes. The flowering time of melliferous plants covers most of the summer and early autumn. This factor allows you to control the time of honey collection using mobile apiaries.

Heather refers to medicinal herbs, has healing properties. This quality is taken into account when selling the harvested honey, increasing the price of the product. The nectar harvesting season starts in mid-June. The product differs in color and taste. As a rule, it is a heather shade, with a pleasant smell and a slightly tart and bitter taste. A feature of pumping is its strong viscosity, which complicates the process of driving. Heather honey does not crystallize well.

Yarrow - autumn honey grass

Yarrow belongs to the category of ordinary honey plants that can be found almost everywhere: in the steppe, forest, meadows, near roads, landfills. The stem has a single erect structure with a height of 20 cm to one meter. The honey harvest begins in mid-summer and ends at the end of September. Having small, basket-shaped inflorescences, yarrow is especially well accepted by all bee breeds. The special value of the honey plant is its late flowering. When the collection of nectar from other herbs ends, and the bees have less and less land, this plant blooms. Beekeepers refer to yarrow as an autumn melliferous herb.

Peppermint

This plant variety belongs to late summer melliferous plants. Peppermint - Perennial essential oils... Plant height can reach 90 cm. Mint has a lilac color, which are collected in a kind of spikelets-bunches. The plant gives off a pleasant smell that attracts bees. Flowering begins in July and can last until August. Peppermint produces fragrant and very tasty honey of amber hue.

Donnik

The bushy plant reaches one and a half meters in height. Located in ravines, at the edge of roads, in meadows. Melilot thickets have a spicy, suffocating smell. The plant is included in the list of the most honey-bearing herbs with a high percentage of collection of a valuable product. Melilot has the ability to produce nectar in all weather conditions. The plant differs in color: the most common variety with white inflorescences, but you can find grass with yellow flowers.

Melilot honey is most often white. The aroma vaguely resembles vanilla. The collected products do not crystallize for a long time, retaining the smell of flowers.

There is no point in sowing free plots of land with sweet clover. This plant is considered one of the most sworn enemies of vegetable growers and gardeners, since, in fact, it is a weed grass. At the same time, sweet clover has the most important microelements necessary for strengthening the honeycomb and building up the strength of the bee colony.

Mordovnik

The amount of nectar during the flowering period of the muzzle covers all the previously listed figures. 1000 kg are harvested from 1 hectare (sometimes this figure rises to one and a half tons) of the most valuable product in terms of quality. The plant is known by many names, but most often it is called tartar or shootout.

It can be seen anywhere. Two-meter thickets with blue inflorescences grow in all kinds of places: wastelands, garbage dumps, ravine slopes, forest edges, steppe. Sugar concentration over 60% is the main factor attracting insects. For an hour, one plant can "serve" up to 180 shaggy workers.

The ball-headed mordovan is the only one of its kind that possesses high performance... Before buying seeds, it is important not to confuse it with other types of the subgroup: Russian and tall.

Common bruise

Despite the modest appearance, the plant entered the top ten strongest melliferous herbs. Like linden, the bruise releases large amounts of nectar during the flowering season. High productivity during harvesting is a major factor. Many beekeepers sow land with this plant, as the taste and characteristics of honey are excellent.

At the time of collecting nectar from 1 hectare of crops, at least 800 kg of first-class products are collected. Since a bruise is a perennial herb, it is beneficial for them to sow areas near suburban and suburban areas. Most often, the plant is found in open areas. Carpets of extraordinary beauty can only be compared with the blue sky.

The listed plants are only part of the list of melliferous plants, to which you can add a very large number of shrubs, trees and herbs. During the flowering period, they are of interest to beekeepers. The list of trees can include acacia, linden, apple and other fruit representatives. Shrubs include hawthorn, elderberry, amorphous and wild rosemary.

Uncomfortable lands (inconveniences) mean lands of ravines, steep slopes, riverine terraces, etc.

As a rule, honey plants on these lands do not yield high honey rates (like from linden, acacia), but these not very productive honey plants have an undoubted advantage - they ensure the continuity of the honey conveyor. Simply put, these honey plants give a small payout, but over a long period of time. This happens because in the meadows some herbs fade, while others begin to bloom.

In the middle latitudes greatest value for beekeeping have such meadow herbs: sage, meadow cornflower, thistle (sow thistle), bruise.

This group of melliferous plants of different habitats includes wild grasses, the melliferous purpose of which is not limited to certain lands.

These plants can be found on the slopes of mountains, hills, among shrub and forest vegetation, in dry steppes and semi-desert areas, in ravines, on damp meadows and arable lands in saline and flooded areas. They also grow along fences and occupy wasteland and abandoned places. At the same time, many of them belong to dangerous weeds and, despite their high honey content, are subject to destruction in agricultural enterprises, private household plots and peasant farms during the cultivation of agricultural crops.

Weeds and other wild-growing melliferous grasses have high honey productivity. For example, 1 hectare of muzzle gives up to 600 kg of honey, dead nettle up to 500 kg, catnip up to 400 kg, motherwort up to 300 kg. Due to the different growing times in the field, the flowering time of weeds often stretches for two or more months. This is facilitated by their characteristic flowering duration of individual plants. Among the weedy melliferous vegetation, there are spring, summer and autumn melliferous plants; Weed honey plants are ubiquitous in Russia; are very resistant to impact external conditions... All this gives beekeepers a reason to consider weed and other wild vegetation as an important source of honey both for the development of bee colonies and for the production of marketable products. This is especially necessary for beekeepers to take into account at the present time, when the agricultural culture is significantly reduced in agricultural enterprises, private household plots and peasant farms, due to the difficult economic situation, most of the former collective and state farms have abandoned their arable land and their hayfields, as a result of which agricultural lands are overgrown with weeds and thistles.
