Blueberry ordinary Medonos, Dnipropetrovsk region.

Blueberry ordinary - a biennial plant (the life cycle of a plant is two years and it begins to bloom only on the second hour) up to one and a half meters high. It blooms from mid-June and lasts up to two months. The root system has a rod shape and goes deep into the soil. The plant is poisonous!

 Honey productivity is from 300 to 800 kg per hectare,

The seed sowing rate is 3-5 kg per one hectare.

That beekeeper was very lucky, around his stationary apiary, in the wastelands and in the ravines, the common blueberry grows. Bees collect nectar and pollen from the bruise throughout the day. Nectar release occurs even in dry weather and cold weather.

Common blueberry can be sown around the apiary independently. And after a few years, it will begin to spread by self-sowing.

The norm of sowing blueberry seeds is 3-5 kg per one hectare.Seeds very small. Up to 3000 pieces in 10 grams. Seeds should be planted at a depth of 1-3 cm. It is better to do this in spring or autumn, but so that the sprouts do not appear before the first frost. The blueberry is unpretentious to the soil and grows even on poor soils.

There can be up to 4 thousand on one flower bearer. bell-shaped flowers, however, they do not bloom immediately, but 1–2 per day. After the opening of the bud, the flower has a light pink color, and after pollination by bees, after 1-2 days it turns blue and no longer has nectar. The pollen of the blueberry is also colored blue, and this is clearly visible in the hive.

Planting In areas where there is little snow in winters, blueberry is sown together withoats, which serves as a kind of shelter from freezing. After 2 months after the seeds have germinated, the oats are mown for hay, leaving stubble up to 12 cm long, which will serve as a shelter and to hold snow. In those regions where there is always a lot of snow, oats may not be sown.

For the maximum productivity of the plantation, in the first hour, one-year honey plants are sown together with the bruise, for example,phacelium. To get earlier and stronger shoots, this plant is sown in winter, before the onset of frost. If the climate in the region is unstable, then it is best to sow at the end of May - the beginning of July, then the honey plant will have time to grow and gain strength for a safe winter. 

Care Special care for a bruise is not required.  His crops do not need watering or weeding. However, if it is sown in well-fertilized land with manure, the flower-bearers will be taller and stronger, and more flowers will produce more honey.

In comparison with other honey-bearing grasses, blueberry has a number of significant advantages: it is undemanding to the soil structure; does not require additional care; can grow in one place for several years; has one of the highest indicators of honey productivity; its nectar does not evaporate under the scorching rays of the sun and is not washed away by rain; its honey is distinguished by its good taste and long shelf life.
