Why and when do you need to collect death?

By bee subpestilence is meant bees that died for any reason. This product has many beneficial properties and is used to improve and strengthen the human body.

• citric, formic and other acids;
• K, Mg, Ca, Fe, and other trace elements;
• royal jelly and other useful components.

Did you know? To completely fill the honey goiter with nectar (this is about 40 mg), a bee needs to fly around at a time about 200 flowers of mustard or sainfoin, or up to 150 pieces of coriander or rapeseed flowers.

• Due to the presence of the above substances, this bee product has a diverse healing effect:

• removes toxins and pathogens;
• slows down the aging process;
• improves vascular tone and lowers cholesterol;

Bees die all year round, but you should understand in more detail when and how to collect it most favorably.

There are several methods for getting dead bees:

• when transporting beehives over long distances, many insects can die. They should not be thrown away, but can be collected and used for various purposes;
• after wintering you can get the greatest amount of product, since during this period the bees are in the hives, and after their death they are convenient to collect. To optimize this process, many beekeepers place special gratings on the hives, on which insects linger, but the rest of the trash is sifted. In order for the dead bees to be successfully preserved, the room with the hives must be well ventilated;
• in the active period, which lasts from spring to autumn, it is also possible to prepare for death, but it will be less and harder to collect. Dead insects can be found on arrival boards, inside, on the roof or near hives. Such a product is considered the highest quality, since the summer bees are young, and this collection also contains drones;
• culling weak families - This is another way to get a bee product. It is carried out by smoking with sulfur or starvation. In the latter case, all frames are removed from the hive and the bees die in 10 days.

Important! Winter death can contain insect stool and various debris. Also, its quality is influenced by preventive autumn processing of bees from ticks, and these chemicals accumulate in insect organisms. This must be remembered when preparing such a scuffle for treatment.

Do you need to dry out pain?

If dead insects are not used immediately for the preparation of various preparations, then for further storage they must be dried. Otherwise, the death can be moldy and become unsuitable for consumption. Before this, it should be sieved and all garbage removed.

Drying can be done in several ways:

• in the oven at a temperature of about + 40 ... + 45 ° С. This is the fastest and most optimal way;
• on battery;
• in a well-ventilated attic;
• in a drying cabinet (if one is available).

The resulting product must be properly stored, since its healing effect depends on it.

• dead insects can be preserved by freezing them in the freezer. But it should be remembered that thawing it once, you can not re-freeze it, so all useful properties will be lost.
