Impulse zur Verbesserung der Spätsommerversorgung der Honigbiene durch Kulturmaßnahmen im Ökologischen Landbau

Summary

In order to overcome the late summer gap in costume for honey bees and increase the winter stock we investigated in two independent field trials the attractiveness of different legumes for honeybees and the effect of a terminated flowering event on its winter stock of honey and pollen. The attractiveness for honeybees was depending on the legume species. The flowering event resulted in a very good pollen stock which pushed the development of the bee colonies.
