Morphometric and economicly useful features of honeybees in East Kazakhstan region
The article presents the results of a study of productive and economically useful signs of morphometric indicators of bees in the East Kazakhstan region. The assessment of honeybees by morphometric parameters of honeybee breeds is given.A comparative assessment of economically useful traits in terms of honey productivity and the behavior of bee colonies in apiaries is given. The morphological characteristics of bees to a certain extent may vary depending on the climatic and weather conditions of the year, although they reproduce quite steadily in various natural and climatic conditions. It has been established that in all apiaries bees of the Carniolan honeybee breed are predominate, the bees are peaceful when viewed, and they remain on the combs.The exception is the bees of the farm "Tynybek", whose behavior is typical for European dark bee. The honey productivity in the farm "Shuliko" was 120 kg, compared to other farms, this figure was higher by 37.5-54.16%, a high percentage of compliance of 86-100% with the Carniolan honeybee in the farm "Shuliko" and the farm "Bunkovykh" was established which is associated with a high level of selection work, careful selection of breeding material and control of mating of queen bees on an isolated fly-by.
