The way of treatment of cemented honey

Beekeeper's work is closely linked to the surrounding natural environment and its results are, besides the health of the bee colonies, directly dependent especially on the current sources of nectar and weather development. Incidence of so-called cement honey represents one of the situations which, when it is not solved by the beekeeper, can become a disaster ending up with a loss of the most of bee colonies, work and honey. Homopteran insect secrets a sweet sticky liquid called honeydew which is collected by honeybees for making a honeydew honey. The core of the problem could be an excessive content of a readily crystallizing trisacharide of the melezitose which causes a rapid hardening of the honey, which cannot be extracted from the honeycombs and bees are unable to overwinter upon it. They would die of hunger or dysentery. This Bachelor's thesis is focused mainly on methods which can help to solve the problem with the incidence of the trisacharide of melezitose in the honeydew honey. The area of monitoring was close to Český Krumlov, where the problematic honey appeared in 2011. A solution is a method of dipping the combs in water with the subsequent reworking of the honey by the honeybees. This method is described in detail in the thesis. Zootechnical methods of beekeeping are explained in a variety of specialized literature, but for easy understanding they are outlined also in this thesis as a follow-up to the methods described
