The subject of this research is determination of the network interaction on the background of growth of entrepreneurial activity in the area of beekeeping in Primorsky Krai during late XIX – early XX centuries, as well as the interconnection between expansion of economic impact in entrepreneurship and functionality of social networks. The tasks of this study include identification and description of network structures, determination of the type of proximity on which they are based, and clarification of the specificity of the impact of network interaction upon development of beekeeping of Primorsky Krai of the late XIX – early XX centuries. Identification and description of network structures in this research is done using the tools of economic cartography, surveying, diachronic analysis, with reliance upon archival materials on inspection of peasant farms of Primorsky Krai in 1912. The scientific novelty of this research consists in revelation of the functionality of social networks in proliferation of new knowledge, economic practices and technologies. The work highlights two types of network structures, which depend on the type of proximity that underlies the interaction of economic agents. It is established that the development of beekeeping practice and entrepreneurship based on production of honey relates to the functionality of the network structures.
