Placing beekeeping in agricultural areas draws a special interest in terms of developing main directions beekeeping advancement. Therefore, a comparative analysis of the impact of area differences upon the development of beekeeping has been carried out in terms of agricultural organizations and households according to the data of Bashkortostan republic. Typological grouping was taken at the first stage, and it has shown us the impact of area differences upon the efficiency of beekeeping production in agricultural organizations. According to the grouping data, it has been established that only 48 of 54 districts of the republic are involved into beekeeping. About 36% of beefamilies of agricultural organizations are concentrated in by-Ural plain, 32%–in the Northern forest-steppe, 20, 8%–in Southern forest-steppe, and 6, 6%–in North-eastern steppe. Gross production of honey to zones correlates directly with the number of bee-families, and the output of honey per bee-family shows us an opposite dependence. Thus, the highest honey output per bee-family was achieved in mountain-forest area, the second place goes to agricultural organizations of trans-Ural steppe. The second stage was devoted to studying area conditions upon the efficiency of honey production. The lowest production costs were registered in agricultural organizations of Mountain-forest area, and high–in agricultural organizations of Northeast forest-steppe. In area terms production costs first of all depends on bee-families productivity. Prices for honey in area terms testify for the market legislations. In Northern forest-steppe area with a high market share of honey low prices and a good profitability level was registered. An opposite dependence is typical for agricultural organizations of Mountain-forest area.

In order to study an impact of area differences upon the output of honey for households, a typological grouping was taken in terms of areas of Bashkortostan republic. Northern forest-steppe area (1) of RB includes 14 districts, 80710 bee-families (5760 per a district). Honey production per area equaled only 3611 t, including 257, 9 t per a district, and 44, 7 kgs per bee-family. North-east forest-steppe area (II) includes 5 districts. The number of bee-families equals 18466, including 3693 per a district. Gross honey production equals 850, 170 t per a district, 46 t per bee-family.
