We give professional practice of beekeeping for the students. We show the work of the beekeeper to colleagues, who can thus form an idea of the future tasks that await them in bee health. During the practice, we demonstrate practical tricks in beekeeping in about 4 x 45 minutes. The stages of this are:

Time spent: 25 minutes
Workstation 3: The parts of the hive and the technique of dismantling the hive
On an unused but fully functional hive, we show the students the steps of the regular dismantling of the hive and briefly describe its parts. We present the various honeycombs and broods built into the frame. At the end of the presentation, the students must practice the process of opening the hive in a small group.
Time spent: 40 minutes
