The honeybee, one of man's most important agricultural helpers and a major source of employment worlwide, is endangered.
When diseases, parasites and other enemies - each a threat in their own right - are found together, they spell potential disaster.
This book provides anyone concerned by the protection of honeybees with the latest, most comprehensive fundamental knowledge about the main threats available in a single volume.
The authors offer a straightforward method for diagnosing disorders on approaching the beehive, two or three at a time. Each is then described in detail, with a presentation of the development cycle of the pathogen and how it spreads, synoptic illustrations, and practical methods for diagnosing, preventing and controlling disease.
