Annotation
In the conditions of the Republic of Tajikistan, with a small constant nectar secretion, interrupted due to unstable weather conditions, bee colonies come into a swarm state. The use of anti-swarm measures does not always prevent the swarming instinct; in some cases, this process is delayed, weakening the colonies by the time the honey collection begins. A study conducted in the conditions of the Republic of Tajikistan showed that swarming of bee colonies occurs with an increase in the number of inactive young worker bees in the nest. Since there is no large honey flow in nature, worker bees working in nature cannot provide work for internal young bees, and they become inactive, in connection with this, swarming appears, or the reproductive instinct prevails.
