Summary. The purpose of this study was to construct a model of the process and the identification of patterns of egg-laying queen bee depending on the number bee colony and other indicators. The model is constructed on the basis of dynamic modeling and empirical observations changes egg-laying queen bee. Studied bees had a different level of development, they are not swarming in the observed period and the queen bee has not changed in the families. Simple mathematical models of the egg-laying queen bee build in the form of a differential equation. The model has the following dependent variables: the age of the queen bee, period of the season, the number and age of individuals bee colony in different time periods. The general solution of the differential equation has been found for certain initial conditions. In the study model was isolated factor υ(b), it determines the change in egg production queen bee depending on the biological and technological factors, including the age of the individuals bee colony. The highest average coefficient (υ(b) = 0,0103) noted for strong bee colonies, and one the lowest observed for weak colonies (υ(b) = 0,0012). The coefficient takes both positive and negative values. The worst conditions for egg-laying queens occur in periods when the factor υ(b) is less than zero. Regression analysis revealed that in certain periods of the season egg-laying queen bee is linearly dependent on the value of the coefficient υ(b). Selective the regression equation for the period from 12 to 24 June, described by B(t) = 90524υ(b) +1162,7 (P = 99.9%). Bee hives under the age of 21 days have the greatest effect on the egg production of queens (the difference between the values of υ(b;1-21) and υ(b) unreliable). In periods of the season, when the coefficient of υ(b) has a positive value (the middle and the end of May, the end of June and beginning of July) to create optimal living conditions for the queen bee. Beekeepers recommended the formation cuttings and replacement queens implement in the colonies at this time.
Keywords: beekeeping, the queen bee, the mathematical model, the technology of beekeeping.
