Beekeepings
Beekeepers are dedicated to the breeding of honey bees to produce honey, beeswax and other bee products. The industry is experiencing steady growth, driven by increasing demand for natural sweeteners and organic products. Current challenges include climate change, which is affecting bee health, and structural changes in agriculture, which are putting pressure on smaller farms. Nevertheless, beekeeping remains an important sector that contributes to biodiversity and promotes environmental sustainability.

For the artificial insemination of a queen bee, equipment consisting of the actual insemination device for sperm transfer and a stereo microscope for optical control is required. The microscope used for this can also be used to mark a queen bee with a color code. Invalid search result.. All manipulations are possible under the microscope. A magnification of 10x is usual

Smaller bee colonies are desirable as a prophylaxis against so-called "foul brood". A number of bees of ten thousand to twenty thousand individuals per colony is ideal. Since ten bees weigh about 1g, the number of animals can be calculated based on the weight. A platform scale is used here, which is ideal for this purpose.
