W: Hello, I have recently started an apiary in this region and I want to expand my knowledge on the honey flow basem67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509969403610_0honey flow base. Can you help me, neighbour? M: Hello, of course. In the neighbourhood, we have wild honey plantsm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509969524425_0wild honey plants: forests, shrubs, meadows, pastures, peatlands and wastelands. However, cultivated honey plantsm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509969582091_0cultivated honey plants are in a majority in our region. The people here have vegetable‑flower gardens, fruit treesm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509969636113_0fruit trees and raspberries eco plantationsm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509969636113_0eco plantations. The farmers gladly plant rapeseed, buckwheat and phacelia on their fields. W: What honeym67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509979046915_0honey trees and shrubsm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509979046915_0shrubs dominate in the forests? M: Willow, maplem67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509970947305_0maple, linden, hazel, blackberrym67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509971340474_0blackberry and rowanm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509975877510_0rowan. W: Oh, the first two are a good early spring honey flowm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509975909674_0early spring honey flow. M: Just like crocuses and snowdrops. W: Rapeseed is cultivated 300 metres from my apiary. That will provide honey flow to the bees already in May, like the fruit trees that are a spring honey flowm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509975942724_0spring honey flow. M: This year, due to the frosts the cherry, sweet cherry and apple trees are not blooming well… W: Yes, we will need to wait for the early summer honey flowm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509977006437_0early summer honey flow when the field weeds, clover, mustard and cornflower will bloom. M: Yes, they will ensure the continuity of the honey feedm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509978632964_0continuity of the honey feed until the late summer. W: Do you take your bees to the heathm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509978666774_0heath? M: Heather is a good autumn honey flowm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509979025834_0autumn honey flow, but I do not have my own transport. I am more often basing on stationary apiarym67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509978983614_0stationary apiary. In my garden, I have a lot of honey plants like lacy phacelia, borage, melilot, American milkweed or Moldavian dragonhead. W: I have a large raspberry plantationm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1509979141853_0plantation nearby, but I will definitely make sure that there is enough honey plants in my garden. Thank you for the talk. M: See you.

Improvement of the honey flow base around the apiary
Beekeeper: B Beekeeper’s wife: W
W: John, I am planning the plantingm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510229116434_0planting in the garden and I would like to select the plants with you to ensure enough honey flow for the bees. B: Good that you mention it. It is worth improving the honey flow base in the garden. We do have willow, hazel and acaciam67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510227579288_0acacia in the vicinity but that is not enough. It is worth thinking about such plants that will ensure the continuity of honey flow. Then when one plant withers, the other will bloom and will provide nectar. W: Therefore I would plant crocusesm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510227615096_0crocuses, pasque flowersm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510228107575_0pasque flowers, snowflakesm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510228578395_0snowflakes and primulesm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510228715209_0primules by the fence but they will not bloom until next year. B: But they will provide feed to bees in that difficult springtime. You can think about parma violetsm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510228737034_0parma violets, lupinesm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510228762317_0lupines and zinniasm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510228778179_0zinnias. They are very pretty and give a lot of nectar. W: Good, they will grow next to the arbor. Rosesm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510228800021_0Roses and liliesm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510228852716_0lilies will stay where they are, but I will add astersm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510228881287_0asters and dahliasm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510229008580_0dahlias by the entrance. B: Very good, they will bloom in the second half of the summer. And what do you think about heather? They bloom long and look nice, especially in the autumn. W: I will definitely plant them. And by the beehives, you could plant green manuresm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510229083610_0green manures, for example, white mustardm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510229042964_0white mustard that has a high honey and pollen capacity and the bees visit it gladly. B: Just don’t get rid of weedsm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510229030043_0weeds too precisely, especially of dandelion. It is also a valuable honey plant. W: I remember, I will leave it next to the fence. I have also planted herbs in the bowls. B: Our fruit treesm67dd5e7aed3c6cb1_1510229068378_0fruit trees will also provide the bees with feed and us with tasty fruit. W: Alright, let’s get to work.
