There are five apiaries in the natural territories under the jurisdiction of Mospriroda, where more than 130 bee colonies live. The apiaries are located in the natural and historical parks Kuzminki-Lublino, Tsaritsyno, Bitsevsky Forest, Tyoply Stan, and the Tsarskaya Apiary ecocenter, where not only the apiary is located, but also a demonstration hive. There is another such hive in the Beekeeping Ecocenter. Demonstration hives function only in the warm season. Specialists observe insects and introduce visitors to beekeeping craft.
The press service of Mospriroda reported that the bees have already flown for the first spring flyby. When observing it, specialists can draw conclusions about the results of wintering and the state of each of the bee colonies.
The first flyby is also called the "flight of cleanliness". During it, the bees briefly leave their homes in order to free themselves from waste products. For young bees born in the new season, such a flight is also introductory. They learn orientation in space, get acquainted with the appearance of their home and the surrounding area.
Bees play an important role in the balance of the ecosystem. 116 flowering plant species are listed in the Red Book of Moscow, more than half of them are visited by representatives of bees in order to collect nectar and pollen.
