Honey significance of forest lands in south Uzbekistan

Abstract

A characteristic feature of any plant group is the species composition. Therefore, the study of the honey productivity of a particular community is primarily ascertained by the species composition of plants and the calculation of the number of individuals of each type of melliferous plants per unit area. The number of plants is determined by laying out test plots of the studied areas. To calculate the nectar and honey productivity of associations, we use the data on the honey productivity of one plant, obtained by us as a result of research. Due to the variety of soil, climatic and natural conditions, the mountain range of the Surkhandarya region is characterized by a large variety of plant groups and their complexes. Since we did not set ourselves the task of covering all the diverse flora and vegetation of the mountains with surveys, we will restrict ourselves to those communities that play a certain role in beekeeping as a forage base, where primary melliferous plant species participate in associations.
