The beekeeping.
Picture take by: Cleris Janeth Serpa Ospina
Beekeeping or bee cultivation is a farming activity oriented
to breed bees and to provide them the necessary care in order to get the products you are able to produce and gather
in order to meet the needs that man has for
these.

The main product that gets the man in this activity is honey. An indirect benefit resulting from the bees activities of pollen recollection performing pollination of the plants.

Bees
are social insects with three different types of individuals or castes in the
colony:
1) Queen
Bee.
2)
Working bee.
3)
Drone bee.
Life of Bees.
Bees
belongs to the family of the Hymenoptera, (Greek hymen = membrane), insects
translucent and membranous wings, like the wasp and ant. It lives in all parts
of the World, except in regions where winter is too cold. There are numerous
species of bees, but we call it honey
bee, its scientific named is Apis
melífica (or Apis mellifera)
Royal jelly.
It is a
substance secreted by the head
hypopharyngeal glands of young worker
bees , between 5 and 15 days, mixed with stomach secretions that provides food
for all larvae during the first three days of life. Only the queen bee larvae
and queen cells that give rise to a new queen is fed royal jelly at all times.
It is a viscous mass of soft yellow and sour taste.

Crosses
between pure breeds are in search of higher production, which are denominated.
that the breeder is able to avoid inbreeding, since it reduces fertility and
vigor of the hive to the point of not surviving.
Generally
the crosses develop a new stable combination, which the feature is transmitted
to their daughters but not their granddaughters, who makes each time you want
to get a hybrid queen, bees have to resort to high purity of race, and there is
a low probability of repeating the result.

The language of bees.
All essential information to the organization of the hive comes from chemical
secretions, pheromones, secreted by the queen but also by workers. Messenger
substances is circulating from one another through the mouth and the antenna
and that they get all the information.
Pheromones
are used to identify such places - identification of the hive, nectar springs
location of places of swarming, queen of the drones in the wedding back ... -
To issue alerts, monitor food stocks, the population balance regulating the
laying of the queen, permanently maintain the ideal temperature and humidity
within the hive
Bees also have among them a very precise code language, the
dance: this dance performed by the scout bees at the arrival to the hive, it informs the other about the place and the
distance from a source of supply.
The dance
in a circle means a place very close (within 25 meters). To further afield to
ten kilometers, dance or dance bustling eight very complicated figures
indicates oscillations depending on the abdominal and vibrations emitted, the
distance of the loot to pick.
Note.
An
essential role in nature:
Bees play
an essential role in pollination, the multiplication of floral species and the
development of fruit crops without pollen, no fruit, no bee pollination! Bees
are very sensitive to pollution. It is essential that men respect their
environment and maintain favorable conditions for its development: eg. avoiding
harmful chemical treatments on fruit crops, destruction of hedgerows lining the
fields, rich in plants melíficas, or abandonment of crops such as alfalfa or
clover, large nectar producers.
