ABSTRACT
The issue of organic beekeeping has recently become quite relevant, and preparations and supplements
based on biologically safe natural ingredients have been introduced into use. The paper provides data
on the study of the effectiveness of the use of preventive stimulating preparations in the beekeeping
industry based on natural medicinal plant and mineral components. The studies were carried out from
2015 to 2020 at a stationary apiary of the Udmurt Republic, Russian Federation. Field experiments were
carried out on three experimental groups consisting of 10 bee colonies each. The use of a prophylactic
preparation made of garlic and iodine solution (experimental group No. 2) made it possible to obtain the
best effect in terms of the growth rate of bee colonies and their honey productivity among the analyzed
groups.
