The author wrote the story "The Diary of Kolya Sinitsyn" in 1950. Nikolai Nosov published an excerpt from it with the sub title "From Kolya's diary" in 1949 in the almanac "All the Year Round". Below we will get acquainted with the cheerful story "The Diary of Kolya Sinitsyn". The summary, we hope, will interest the young reader, and he will read it in full.

How Kolya started a diary

When the school year ended and Kolya had only A's in his report card, he decided to keep a diary and write down everything interesting that would happen to him. But here's the problem - for the first three days nothing happened, and there was nothing to write about.

Assembly of the link

The Pioneer Link has gathered to decide what useful work can be done in the summer. Nobody could offer anything. Everyone went home to think about it. Only Kolya did not have useful thoughts in his head. The diary of Kolya Sinitsyn was not replenished with interesting and useful information. The summary of his thoughts is just unnecessary nonsense.

Meeting with a young naturalist

Walking, Kolya met a familiar young naturalist who was going to the lesson of their circle. Nothing to do KolyaI went with him and learned a lot of interesting things about the life of bees. After that, he came to the assembly of the link, and it turned out that no one came up with an interesting and useful business for everyone. Suddenly, Grisha Yakushkin suggested making a beehive. Everyone immediately became interested and went to find out how the hive is made and where the bees come from. It turns out that the hive is not very complicated, and you can make it yourself, and you need to buy bees in a swarm and settle in a new home.

All this information ended up in Kolya Sinitsyn's diary. The summary below will show how the guys are going to make a beehive. Someone brought pliers, someone saw, someone brought nails, someone brought a hammer. The children received boards from the school. Everyone worked actively and together for two days, and the hive turned out great. Only they didn't have bees.

Search for a swarm of bees

It turned out to be difficult. Wild swarm, as it turned out, should be looked for in the forest. Kolya's friend invited him to his dacha in Shishigino to Aunt Field, where there is a forest, but his mother would not let him go. In the end, dad allowed the trip. Three boys - Kolya, Seryozha and Pavlik - went to Shishigino. The dacha was closed, Aunt Poli was not there, and the guys made themselves a hut in order to spend the night in it. During the night, the hut collapsed and had to be rebuilt in complete darkness.

The bees have not flown into the trap yet. On the second day, the guys accidentally, after a series of adventures, ended up in an apiary. All this is recorded in the diary of Kolya Sinitsyn. The summary of the further story is that the beekeeper took pity on the pioneers and promised by the evening, when the heat subsided, to give them a young swarm, whichabout to fly out of the hives. In the evening, the boys received not only a swarm, but also an explanation of how to take care of the bees, how to collect honey, how to make a smoker so that the bees do not scatter, and many other useful knowledge.

They returned home, and it turned out that they did not live with Aunt Poli, but made themselves a hut in the forest. Each mother scolded her son well, and the boys forgot about the bees and found in the morning that their trap was open on the balcony, and the bees scattered. Yes, in addition, they still bit the guys. These stings hurt so badly that the guys lost interest in beekeeping.

Package arrived

Bees arrived in a package, but three boys refused to deal with them. The whole link went to plant bees in the hive, and they stayed at home to play checkers and let paper pigeons go from the balcony. So they spent four days and got very bored. This idleness was described by Kolya Sinitsyn's diary.

Author Nikolai Nosov, an active man and a great inventor, understands how bored the children were alone, and why they still ran to school to look at the bees. Then they returned home and made nets for themselves so that the bees could not sting them, and there was no longer any boredom.

Experiencing photography

A pioneer leader came to the apiary and took pictures of everyone. Kolya was very worried about how he would turn out, because in life he believed that he was beautiful, but in the photo it turns out badly. Two days passed in reflection and excitement on this subject. Indeed, when he saw himself with his mouth open, he was very upset, and the guys began to reproach him for being stupidruined the card. Only Galya consoled him and explained that Kolya was smiling beautifully. Kolya reflected in his diary on beauty, boastfulness and stupidity. The thought calmed him down a bit. Adult readers, when they re-read Kolya Sinitsyn's Diary, give the warmest reviews - they return to childhood.

Drinker for bees and experiments with them

From the old barrel, the guys, diligently soaking it, made a drinker. Oh, and they applied water to an old barrel until it swelled, probably a hundred buckets. And then they brought some honey on a glass and began to watch how the bees fly up and take it to the hive. When they marked the bee with paint, it turned out that the same bee was flying all the time. But they were told that the bees can transmit information to each other.

The guys took the glass with honey and laid them out on multi-colored pieces of paper. Then the bees began to fly in a variety of ways. Now it became clear why the flowers have different colors. So that insects notice them and fly to them and pollinate them. These experiments took several days. The guys during these days even learned how the bees ventilate the hive on hot days.

It's been more than a month since the link began to deal with the hive. Everyone learned that since July has come, the bees will work, collecting honey from the linden, and in addition, there are worker bees and guards inside the hives who do not let bumblebees steal honey. And in order to properly know the life of these insects, you must definitely start a hive with glass walls.

Bee watching

Teacher Nina Sergeevna took out a frame with honeycombs from the hive and showed everyone what bee eggs look like, then how babies look, and said that later pupae are formed from babies, and then bees. The old swarm with the queen, which is busy laying eggs, flies out of the hive. Here the beekeepers catch him and put him in a new hive.

Besides, by directing the light of the mirror into the hive, the guys saw that the bees were dancing. The teacher explained that the dance meant that the bee had found a lot of honey and offered to see if the linden had blossomed. The work of the bees in the apiary began to boil. They continuously carried honey and hummed loudly. All the linden trees were covered with bees. The teacher said that about 100,000 bees can live in a swarm.

Fame

About the apiary at the school was published in the newspaper. And then letters began to come to young beekeepers asking how to make a hive and how to care for a swarm. The guys wrote detailed answers.

New Swarm

And then, like a black beard, a swarm flew out of the hive. The guys rushed to catch him, and then make a new hive for him. Caught bees were planted in it. So the apiary grew. The bees diligently collected honey for the winter, and the guys watched with delight. Suddenly, the weather turned bad, and the work of the bees slowed down.

It was the end of July. It was necessary to prepare a place where the hives would stand in the winter. It was a deep hole. The guys dug it up and lit a fire in it to dry the walls well. Then they raked out the ashes and began to dream how they would grow up and becomebreed bees. It turned out upon reflection that an engineer, pilot, driver, machinist will find time for this. We almost completely read the Diary of Kolya Sinitsyn. The chapter summary should end with a final note.

Letter from collective farm guys

It was written in it what schoolchildren do on the collective farm, helping the elders. It's just that they don't have an apiary. But now they will definitely take her. Here Kolya's notebook-diary was already completely filled out, and Nikolai Nosov (author) finished the story on this.
