A method of objectively assessing the significance of regions from the point of view of beekeeping is proposed by introducing criterion coefficients, the calculation of which takes into account: the area of the region, honey productivity, ambient temperature in summer and winter period.
When assessing the significance of the region for beekeeping, we change the relative degree of influence of the area of the region and its honey productivity in order to take into account the different influence of the area of the honey-bearing region and its honey productivity. Instead of the traditional criterion of the significance of the region - the volume of potential honey reserves, which are calculated as the production of the region's area by its average honey productivity, we use a criterion coefficient equal to the product of the region's area and honey productivity in a cube. This made it possible to increase the relative contribution of honey productivity in comparison with the area of honey lands when assessing the importance of the region for beekeeping, which led to a more realistic result.
The result of the work is a table in which the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are sequentially placed in order of their importance for beekeeping, taking into account biological resources - potential honey reserves and climatic conditions: the duration of the nectar collection period and the duration of the wintering period of bees. For comparison, the same table shows the results of assessing the importance of regions for beekeeping, based on the volume of potential honey reserves in the regions.
The proposed method of digital objective analysis in determining the importance of regions from the point of view of beekeeping can be extended to account for other physical, chemical, biological factors.
