Evaluation of provision of fully pollination of major entomophilies crops with bee families

Abstract

The state of beekeeping and bee families, provision of basic
entomophilies pollination of crops was researched. It is
established that Ukraine continues the trend to reduce the
number of bee colonies. In 2011, as compared with the past, it
decreased by 0.2 million and amounted to 2.9 million families.
For full entomophilies pollination of main crops there must be
at least 5.2 million bee colonies, minimal need for which is
provided at 56.6 %. Existing honey plants do not provide beefarming with food supply in full. It is necessary to increase the
sown area of sunflowers as well as other melliferous crops.
