Abstract

The article presents the study results of a linden plantations flowering index. Experimental methods, observations as well as forestry and taxation techniques were used in the course of the study. Circular test areas of a constant radius were laid to study the taxation indicators of linden plantations and to determine the linden flowering index. The test areas are laid within a radius of three kilometers from the apiaries located, since the active flight of honey bees is approximately this distance from the hives located. The trial areas are laid out in accordance with OST 56-69–83 «Trial forest management areas. Establishment method». The composition of plantings around two stationary and two transportable apiaries has been studied. The linden plantations flowering indices were determined. The results of the research are of practical interest mainly for beekeepers. The materials of scientific research are used in the educational process in the preparation of students in the «Forestry» science. The maximum flowering index is observed in incomplete (0,4…0,5) ripe and over-ripe stands with a predominance of small-leaved linden in the composition. It is this completeness of the stand that makes it possible to increase the width and length of the crown, thereby contributing to an increase in the number of flowers and, accordingly, the lime flowering index.
