In the Udmurt Republic, the only reproducer for breeding of the Central Russian breed bees is located in the Mozhginsky district on the basis of farm "Russia", where the climatic conditions are sufficiently favorable for the life of the honeybee. The purpose of research is to study the bee forage of breeding reproducer for breeding bees of Central Russian breed (Apis mellifera mellifera L.). This farm has two apiaries, located in the village of Kalynivka and D. Krasnyy Yar. It was found that in the period of main honey flow in windless sunny summer weather bees collect up to 70% of the reserves of nectar from buckwheat, Linden, fireweed, alfalfa. In early spring due to non-flying rainy weather, bees usually take nectar no more than 30%, and in autumn – 30-40% depending on the weather. Bee family in the conditions of the Republic spends for consumption of own needs of 93-97 kg of honey which are necessary for each family of bees for normal activity throughout the year. Having determined the potential honey reserve for these two apiaries, it is established that there is no shortage of feed. Bee family of farm "Russia" are provided by the feed in all periods of their development, due to entomophilous agricultural crops: clover, sowing of buckwheat and alfalfa, spring canola. Reserve carbohydrate and protein feed in the summer allows you to form additional families and nucleuses for the maintenance and withdrawal of queen bees of the Central Russian breed of bees.
