Observational analysis reveals unique weather effects on nectar and pollen in Vasyugan, highlighting challenges for bee productivity.
Weather conditions are the main factor influencing the release of nectar and pollen by plants and its collection by bees. The climatic conditions of the Vasyugan marshes differ from the south of Western Siberia. The Vasyugan bolo serves as a giant air “filter” that helps our planet breathe. In addition, this territory is located in the rose of the winds, where the airless masses of cities with industrial gases bypass it. By collecting nectar, the Vasyugan forage base ensures the profitability of the pasture, but in order to fully solve this problem, it is necessary to know how much pollen bees collect from the moment of the exhibition from the winter garden and before they are placed in the winter garden. The aim of the research was to study the influence of abiotic factors on the collection of nectar and pollen in the Vasyugan region. Observations and in-house processing of the obtained data were carried out according to «Methods of conducting scientific research in beekeeping». In Vasyugan, in the morning and evening hours, there is a lower air temperature at which pollen does not ripen. Thus, the actual load of honey goiter in the Vasyugan region differs sharply from the load of honey goiter in the southern part of Western Siberia. In the southern regions of Western Siberia, in the Mountain Shoria, the load of honey goiter is 57 mg. In the conditions of the Barzas taiga, pollen collection ranges from 800 to 1000 g per day. The average load of honey goiter in Vasyugan, in May, was 22.20 ± 0.50 mg, the weight gain was 15.32 mg. In June, with an increase in the average monthly temperature, the load of honey goiter increases – 24.00 ± 0.69 mg, and the weight of the leg is 22.30 g. In July, the indicators reached a maximum value of 26.40± 0.78 mg and 34.03 g, respectively. In August, with the change in weather conditions, the studied indicators decreased. In the Vasyugan region, the number of days with favorable temperatures for the release of nectar and pollen is 156, the average air temperature in May– August is 15–230 C, which creates unfavorable conditions for the growth of honey-bearing vegetation that releases dust, therefore this biological resource is sufficient for the full development and efficiency of the bee family, but to obtain a marketablea leg and a parchment is not possible.
