Managing Bee Health is a most useful guide for beekeepers, advisors, veterinarians and beekeeping enthusiasts, showing practical ways to understand bee health, treat sick or compromised hives and enhance the wellbeing and welfare of these wonderful creatures.
The crucial role that bees play in the Earth's ecosystem is well known. Over the last decades, a dramatic decrease in bee health has been seen on a global scale. This deterioration is evident in both domestic and wild bees, precipitating a wider ecological impact. Veterinarians, animal scientists, and bee husbandry specialists increasingly need to be provided with the skills to investigate and understand the situation. Managing Bee Health aims to provide an overview of the health of bees at both individual and hive levels, covering common and emerging diseases and preventive measures.
Beginning with an overall analysis of bee anatomy and physiology, the book then deals with the main diseases and pathogens of bees and colonies, and how to treat and control their clinical impact. It provides insights on bee nutrition, insect interaction with flowering plants, and presents helpful points of contact to report suspected conditions, such as the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). The book looks at the global pathogen status of bees, including not only the honeybee (Apis mellifera) but also other members of the Apis family.
