To determine the optimal size of apiaries in the complex direction of production, calculations of the main economic indicators that characterize the economic efficiency of the apiary-profit, payback period of capital investments, the rate of reimbursement of all costs. An economic strategy has been developed for 50, 100 and 300 bee families for a private apiary and an organization apiary. The results of calculations on economics in beekeeping are generalized. Given the study of economic factors, the optimal bee enterprise will be the size of 300 bee colonies of the complex direction of production of privately owned products.
