In beekeeping depending on quantity of the apiaries belonging to one economy, apply individual or zvenevoj a method of service of beer families.

Individual service of beer families. On the apiaries which size does not exceed 100-120 beer families, the beekeeper works without the assistant. The temporary assistant (the younger beekeeper) is necessary at norm of service of 150-180 beer families and more which for the best use medosbora can be placed in several places.

Operation time of the younger beekeeper is defined from calculation by 2,5 working days on each beer family which is available over 100-120 families. All basic works on an apiary (care of bees, the organisation of new beer families, a conclusion of a uterus, selection of honey from beehives, assemblage of nests of bees for the winter, processing of wax raw materials etc.) at individual service of beer families the beekeeper carries out independently or together with the younger beekeeper. Only for performance of urgent and labour-consuming works (a spring exhibition of bees from zimovnika, their statement in zimovnik, transportation of beer families on pollination and medosbor, otkachka honey, etc.) for the aid to the beekeeper allocate ancillary workers for all period of performance of these works.

Individual service of beer families does not allow to raise considerably labour productivity on apiaries as physical possibilities even the skilled and rather qualified beekeepers are limited.
