| Abstract: | A new method of forming bee colonies has been developed and a patent is obtained for it. The method consists in a considerable
(theoretically, 100%) increase from strong highly productive colonies without their entry into a swarming state, without a
reduction of productivity, and with complete readiness for overwintering (with respect to food) of both the parent colony
itself and the newly formed one. |
