The loss of honey bees has drawn a large amount of attention in various countries. Therefore, the development of efficient methods for recovering honey bee populations has been a priority for beekeepers. Here we present an extended literature review and report on personal communications relating to the characterization of the local and bred stock of honey bees in the Russian Federation. New types have been bred from local colonies (A. mellifera L., A. m. carpatica Avet., A. m. caucasia Gorb.). The main selection traits consist of a strong ability for overwintering, disease resistance and different aptitudes for nectar collection in low and high blooming seasons. These honey bees were certified by several methods: behavioral, morphometric and genetic analysis. We illustrate the practical experience of scientists, beekeepers and breeders in breeding A. mellifera Far East honey bees with Varroa and tracheal mite resistance, which were the initial reasons for breeding the A. mellifera Far Eastern breed by Russian breeders, Russian honey bee in America, the hybrid honey bee in Canada by American breeders, and in China by Chinese beekeepers. The recent achievements of Russian beekeepers may lead to the recovery of beekeeping areas suffering from crossbreeding and losses of honey bee colonies.

This study reviews and compares the market potential of two macro-areas in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in the AZRF (Arctic zone of the Russian Federation) and the FEFD (Far Eastern Federal District. Moreover, this work shows that a significant part of supply and demand in municipalities' domestic markets is concentrated in the FEFD. Until recently, the AZRF and the FEFD were not considered by the State as a single government body. Transferred powers to the Ministry of the Russian Federation for the development of the Far East and the Arctic has allowed the territory of the Arctic uluses of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) to be included in the social and economic development of the FEFD.


The evaluated territories have favorable environment for functional foci of trichinellosis. Despite wide spread, natural focality and a large variety of animals that are reservoir hosts of Trichinella, trichinellosis is a preventable invasion. It was possible to maintain a low incidence rate of this disease in the Southern Federal district and North Caucasian Federal District for many years due to veterinary and epidemiological control measures. However, structure of factors that facilitate infestation with trichinellosis in the Far Eastern Federal district is substantially different from the one prevailing in the south territories of the Russian Federation. The major sources of invasion is meat of wild animals and dogs that do not undergo veterinary-sanitary examination. As a result, the Far Eastern Federal district has one of the highest rates of trichinellosis cases registered in the Russian Federation.

Аннотация. Республика Бурятия и Забайкальский край указом президента Российской Федерации 3 ноября 2018 года вошли в состав Дальневосточного федерального округа. Эти субъекты имеют свою социальноэкономическую специфику по отношению к другим субъектам по структуре экономики, уровню жизни населения, экономикогеографическому положению. Одна из главных целей работы была сравнить новые субъекты с другими субъектами Дальневосточного федерального округа по структуре экономики и социальноэкономическому положению и его динамики. Оба региона как было установлено имеют схожие структуры экономики с приграничными субъектами юга Дальнего Востока. Они имеют довольно низкие социальноэкономические показатели по отношению к подавляющему большинству субъектов Российской Федерации, так и в особенности среди субъектов Дальневосточного региона находясь наряду с Еврейской автономной областью в числе аутсайдеров. Это было подсчитано на примере одного из коэффициентов сравнения, который показывает степень социальноэкономического развития между субъектами федерального округа. Также на примере этого коэффициента выявлено, что рассматриваемые регионы также уступают значительной части других регионов по динамике социальноэкономических показателей. Оба региона имеют небольшую долю в социально экономических показателях округа, прежде всего за счет слабого развития регионов. Это вызывает и снижение этих показателей в расчете на 1 человека по округу. Был выявлен ряд экономических особенностей и географических факторов характерных для причинноследственной связи низкого социальноэкономического положения и развития Республики Бурятия и Забайкальского края по отношению к другим субъектам федерального округа. На примере структуре экономики регионов указано, что наибольшие социальноэкономические показатели имеют регионы с высокой долей промышленности за счет добычи полезных ископаемых. Обозначен ряд факторов, которые сказываются или должны сказываться положительно на развитии новых субъектов в будущем в составе нового федерального округа. Были подсчитаны изменения социальноэкономических показателей для Дальневосточного федерального округа в результате произошедшего изменения его границ. By a decree of the President of the Russian Federation on November 3, the Republic of Buryatia and the TransBaikal Territory became a part of the Far Eastern Federal District. These subjects have their own socioeconomic specifics relatively to other subjects by the structure of economy, the standard of living of the population, and the economic geographical position. One of the main goals of the work was to compare new subjects with other subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District in terms of the economic structure, a socioeconomic situation, and its dynamics. Both regions were found to have similar economic structures with the border regions of the south of the Far East. They have rather low socioeconomic indicators relatively to the overwhelming majority of the subjects of the Russian Federation, and especially among the subjects of the Far Eastern region, being together with the Jewish Autonomous Region among the outsiders. This was calculated by example of one of the comparison coefficients, which shows the degree of socioeconomic development between the subjects of the Federal district. Besides, by example of this coefficient, it was revealed that the regions under consideration conceded a significant part of other regions in the dynamics of socioeconomic indicators. Both regions have a small share in the socioeconomic indicators of the district, primarily because of weak development of the regions. This causes a decrease in these indicators per 1 person in the district. A number of economic features and geographical factors typical of a causal relationship of a low socioeconomic status and development of the Republic of Buryatia and the TransBaikal Territory relatively to other subjects of the Federal district were identified. By example of the structure of regional economy, it is indicated that, the regions with the highest share of industry have the highest socioeconomic indicators at the expense of mining. A number of factors are indicated that affect or should have a positive effect on the development of new subjects in future as part of a new federal district. The changes in socioeconomic indicators for the Far Eastern Federal District that occurred as a result of the change in its borders have been calculated.

Abstract Land use, habitat, and forage quality have emerged as critical factors influencing the health, productivity, and survival of honey bee colonies. However, characterization of the mechanistic relationship between differential land-use conditions and ultimate outcomes for honey bee colonies has been elusive. We assessed the physiological health of individual worker honey bees in colonies stationed across a gradient of agricultural land use to ask whether indicators of nutritional physiology including glycogen, total sugar, lipids, and protein were associated with land-use conditions over the growing season and colony population size the subsequent spring during almond pollination. Across the observed land-use gradient, we found that September lipid levels related to growing-season land use, with honey bees from apiaries surrounded by more favorable land covers such as grassland, pasture, conservation land, and fallow fields having greater lipid reserves. Further, we observed a significant relationship between total protein during September and population size of colonies during almond pollination the following February. We demonstrate and discuss the utility of quantifying nutritional biomarkers to infer land-use quality and predict colony population size.

In recent years, Russian- Chinese relations have reached a new level of integration of these two na-tions. Being influenced by a Russian “new Asian policy”, the Far East policy of the federal center has significantly transformed. It was assumed that Rus-sian-Chinese interaction could act as a catalyst for the regional development of the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD). The paper examines the features of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the Far Eastern regions of the Russian Federation. The author analyzes the achieved level of interaction between the Russian Federation and China in the Russian Far East; the limiting factors of such coop-eration are highlighted. It is noted that the tough pragmatism inherent in China’s foreign policy lately presupposes a focus on the traditional areas of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the Far Eastern Federal District. The limited possibilities of the achieved volume of Russian-Chinese interaction for stimulating the accelerated development of the Far Eastern regions of Russia are especially empha-sized.

The article deals with the prospects of development of copper-porphyry deposits discovered within the largest ore occurrences and prospecting areas of the Russian Far East. Revaluation of large reserves of copper with associated elements account (gold, silver, molybdenum) on geological data based increases the economic justification for the development of already discovered deposits, as well as the continuation of exploration work on the identified ore occurrences. Geological exploration in a certain sequence necessitates the preparation of complex prospecting, appraisal and multifactor models for the development of large copperporphyry deposits in the Far Eastern region of the Russian Federation. Complex models of geological objects for prospecting and searches of complex copper-porphyry deposits are formed in relation to each geological and industrial type. In the article, authors offer exploration typical models to develop of complex copper-porphyry deposits at different stages of geological survey. The models show the features of the deep structure of the geological objects of the simulated class and the main features of their ore-metasomatic and geochemical zoning, as well as trends in the composition and physical properties of ore-controlling geological bodies with depth. Authors present the theoretical basis of prospecting and appraisal features, reflecting the patterns of manifestation of the studied ore-bearing areas in the Far East, Russia, leads the analysis the complex of geological and geophysical studies of the deep structure of copper-porphyry deposits, formulates methodical approaches for develop modelling of copper-porphyry type fields to increase an efficiency of a geological and economic assessment of these geological objects. These approaches make it possible to comprehensively assess the parameters of exploration and development of deposits, taking into account the export-oriented orientation and investment attractiveness of the Far Eastern region of Russia.
