THE POTENTIAL OF ROMANIAN BEEKEEPING

Abstract

The Flora is rich and varied, encompassing over 300 nectaro-bee species. The most important share of rapeseed species (especially in recent years when the cultivated areas have increased significantly, and this is due to the production of biodiesel fuels, what has made this the rape picked to become a senior, picked when in addition to the development of the bee families, and an important marketable honey production), Acacia, lime, sunflower, forage, pasture and meadows. Of particular importance in achieving constant yields of honey-a harvest of Manna sources have, coming from the secretions of plants. Honeydew honey is rich in mineral salts, popular among consumers, but it is harmful to bees embedded in the their winter reserves.
Romania has more than 11 million hectares of multifarious flora, half of which is agricultural and half is logging. However 80% of marketed production of honey in the country is provided by the varieties and hybrids of sunflower seeds, Acacia and Linden forests. Producing quality honey is a matter of prestige, the main criterion for classifying apiculture products shall become just the quality of the products delivered, the presentation, selection and varieties.
