Not without reason harvest in the village called "Strada" - suffering. Socialist economy is widely used machines. Stooping peasant with a sickle replaced the processor. Along with cleaning are shelling stubble. This important event in the fight e weeds and pests, and to maintain soil moisture. Continued processing of pure vapors: do not put any appearance they cover, or overgrowth of weeds. Since the beginning of spring black autumn and early spring couples treated for at least three times. As soon as the flax will reach an early yellow ripeness start nudged him, carefully sorted at harvesting stems. Continue to care for row crops - hilling, weeding. Begin to dig early potatoes.

After harvest of early vegetables in the gardens is processed and fertilize the land and sow early maturing crops to manage to get a second harvest. In the gardens of the trees impose a trapping zone (pest control), under the trellis branches, bending from the weight of abundant fruit. In the berry fields harvest. The apiary July - the hottest month, while the main trick. With an abundance of blossoming linden trees and in good weather every day gives a few pounds of honey in the hive, and in strong families - by 6-8 kg. A lot of honey bee family will gather only when it has enough combs to fold just brought nectar. Therefore, before the onset of ocular bribe strong families put "stores" - sets of additional frames. When the store frame will be filled with two-thirds of honey, under the first store became the second. With an average daily bribe in 2,5 kg store will be filled with ripe honey is on the sixth day, and for large bribes, and even sooner. All the while, watching the shops, the beekeeper removes the "ready", put new ones makes the bees work and work. Instead of two stores at once put the second building, while a very strong family and a rich bribe for him and add another shop (there are three stores in the hive). When a bribe to 8 kg per day body will be filled within two days. But it is still impossible to remove, honey should ripen. Obviously, in such cases require two or four body shop: ripen until the honey in the first case, the bees fill the second. Lipa faded. There is still flowering buckwheat, also gives a good bribe.
