RESEARCH ON CULTURES OF HONEY PLANTS AT THE LEVEL OF CORNETU COMMUNE, IN ILFOV COUNTY - MINIREVIEW

The productivity and health of bee colonies depend on the presence of the honey zone, collecting nectar and pollen throughout the beekeeping season. Honeybees cannot exist in the absence of honey plants. The nectar and pollen of flowers on the territory of Romania constitute a valuable natural resource that would be wasted in the absence of bees, as until now the processing methods are insufficiently used. The proposed research theme aims at the superior exploitation of technologies for obtaining bee products by applying biotechnological methods and by the contribution of special technologies for increasing honey production by cultivating honey plants that bloom in the autumn period (September - October), when the main plant’s honeysuckle has ended their flowering period, at the level of Cornetu, in Ilfov county
