Abstract
Nowadays, feeding honeybees is not only considered a way to provide them with energy, but also as a factor that affects the normal functioning of all the bee's body systems and the prevention of various diseases. This study investigated the quality of natural and artificial carbohydrate feed for honeybees, as well as presented data on their digestibility in the conditions of the northwestern region of the European part of Russia. A correlation was found between the digestibility of carbohydrate feeds and the weight of the rectum of worker bees at the end of the wintering period before the first flight. The methodology for conducting the research was also presented. The authors concluded on the prospects of studying the digestibility of carbohydrate feed, as well as determining the amount of honeydew and the speed of honey crystallization, as important components of the organization and planning of wintering of honeybees and improving beekeeping technology
