Extreme temperatures of −49 °F (−45 °C) in the winter
Oil and natural gas <http://www.britannica.com/science/natural-gas> are
extracted from oil <http://www.britannica.com/topic/oil-chemical-compound>
fields near Ufa <http://www.britannica.com/place/Ufa-Russia> and Neftekamsk
in the northwest, at Belebey in the west, and at Ishimbay
<http://www.britannica.com/place/Ishimbay> on the middle Belay

Bashkortostan: Waking the ‘Russian Switzerland’

<http://rbth.com/travel/2013/06/09/harvesting_honey_the_old-fashioned_way_26889.html>,

enhancing the regional heritage and accelerating a return to its roots.
