Honey productivity of forests of the komissarovsky district forestry of the Ussuri branch of the KSKU “Primorskoye forestry”

The Far Eastern taiga is a real storehouse of honey, the honey virgin lands of the Far Eastern forests. Far Eastern melliferous vegetation, is distinguished by its unique and rich diversity, creates significant resources for honey collection. Bee honey is an amazing creation of bees and flowers, a wonderful gift of nature, which is a sweet and delicious natural delicacy. For the smell and taste of honey, they always surprise with their uniqueness. Honey has healing properties. Far Eastern forest lands are characterized by the presence of a large proportion of honey reserves. Honey plants here are lindens, willows, maples, as well as endemics: actinidia (Actinidia Lindl.), Amur velvet (Phellodendron amurense), Manchurian aralia (Aralia elata (Miq.) Seem.), dimorphant (Kalopanax Miq.), eleutherococcus (Eleutherococcus Maxim.). The purpose of the research was to determine honey productivity for further calculation of the number of bee colonies in forest areas. The results of the research showed that the yield of honey from one hectare of the area was 11.2 kg/ha. The area of the laid productive circle was 805 hectares. A certain possible honey harvest from forest areas with the presence of linden amounted to 31.7 kg/ha. The possibility of harvesting marketable honey made it possible to calculate the number of apiaries (3–4) and select forest areas for their optimal placement.
