The area is located on the border of the northern range of natural distribution of honey bees. The climatic conditions for the life of bees and the collection of nectar by them are not easy. On the territory of the region, wild melliferous plants are widespread, secreting nectar from early spring to autumn. On the example of the territories of two apiaries of the region, the article examines the main melliferous plants that are important for obtaining marketable honey. The resources of nectar, food supply for bees have been calculated. The factors and problems on which the efficiency of collecting nectar by bees depends, taking into account local geographic and climatic factors, are considered.
