Book Synopsis Managing Bee Health: A Practical Guide for Beekeepers by : John Carr
Download or read book Managing Bee Health: A Practical Guide for Beekeepers written by John Carr and published by 5m Books Ltd. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 seen on a global scale 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 individual and hive level, covering common and emerging diseases and preventive measures. Beginning with an overall analysis of bee anatomy and physiology, then deals with the main diseases and pathogens of bees and colonies and how to treat and control their clinical impact. Providing insights on bee nutrition, insect interaction with flowering plants, and presenting 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. 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. 5m Books

Book Synopsis Varroa Mite Control in Honey Bee Colonies by : Natalia Solis Riusech
Download or read book Varroa Mite Control in Honey Bee Colonies written by Natalia Solis Riusech and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Varroa destructor mites are the greatest challenge facing modern beekeepers. There are a variety of treatment and monitoring methods available, however, they are variable in efficacy, ease of application, and seasonality of application. In particular, many chemical options can only be used when honey intended for human consumption is not present. There is need for new treatments that can be used by beekeepers in late summer when harvestable honey is present. Known insecticidal properties of a C8910 fatty acid blend suggested that it may be a viable pesticide for controlling Varroa mites that can be used during the summer. Acute contact bioassays showed that the C8910 blend had a sufficient margin of safety to bees, however, the C8910 blend was not effective at controlling mites in full-sized colonies. Acute contact bioassays of shorter fatty acid chains showed that they are more toxic to mites and safer for bees and therefore may be more effective at controlling mites in full-sized colonies. Even though chemical options are essential for preventing colony loss, many beekeepers still choose not to treat with chemical products. It is essential to determine what drives beekeeping decisions in order to create new products that will be utilized by beekeepers. Survey results showed that there are distinctive differences between hobbyist and sideline beekeepers with regards to management methods used and factors used to make management decisions. Hobbyists beekeepers in Ohio used more treatment and monitoring methods that are time-intensive, such as powdered sugar shakes and drone brood removal, than semi-professional sideline beekeepers suggesting that factors pertaining to ease of application may be driving beekeeping decisions by beekeepers managing a larger number of colonies. Hobbyist beekeepers also used more methods that show little effectiveness (screened bottom boards and drone brood removal), suggesting that treatment decisions may be influenced by years of beekeeping experience. “Is organic” was the least important factor to both beekeeper groups. Additionally, “effective at killing mites” was the most important factor to both groups. Contrary to popular belief this suggests that beekeepers value effectiveness over product origin and therefore new products do not need to be organic to be utilized by beekeepers.

Book Synopsis Honey Bee Pests and Diseases by : Robert Owen
Download or read book Honey Bee Pests and Diseases written by Robert Owen and published by Exisle Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honey Bee Pests and Diseases provides up-to-date information on the management of honey bee diseases found globally, not just in the U.S., Europe, or Australia. Of particular interest are the explanations of how pathogens affect honey bees. This facet of diseases is usually left out of honey bee disease books. Written in an easy to understand way, and richly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, chapters cover integrated pest management (IPM), epidemiology, viruses, brood diseases, mites, parasites, as well as other problems a colony might face. The book is largely based on the Ph.D. research of Dr. Robert Owen, who studied the effect of bee diseases in Australia and overseas with particular reference to Varroa. Both Prof. Jean-Pierre Scheerlinck and Prof. Mark Stevenson have extensive and well-recognized experience in honey bee research.
Book Synopsis Status of Pollinators in North America by : National Research Council
Download or read book Status of Pollinators in North America written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-05-13 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pollinators-insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the female parts of flowers for plant reproduction-are an essential part of natural and agricultural ecosystems throughout North America. For example, most fruit, vegetable, and seed crops and some crops that provide fiber, drugs, and fuel depend on animals for pollination. This report provides evidence for the decline of some pollinator species in North America, including America's most important managed pollinator, the honey bee, as well as some butterflies, bats, and hummingbirds. For most managed and wild pollinator species, however, population trends have not been assessed because populations have not been monitored over time. In addition, for wild species with demonstrated declines, it is often difficult to determine the causes or consequences of their decline. This report outlines priorities for research and monitoring that are needed to improve information on the status of pollinators and establishes a framework for conservation and restoration of pollinator species and communities.

This publication follows the TECA publication Main bee diseases: good beekeeping practices (2018) which provided a more general overview of good beekeeping practices for bee diseases. This manual is a unique publication because, through its presentation of practical information, simple visuals, and understandable content, it helps beekeepers to correctly identify main honeybee diseases in a timely manner. More specifically, the manual creatively illustrates actions which facilitate the identification of disease symptoms. It also presents a comprehensive list of good beekeeping practices to adopt in the apiary as well as biosafety measures to reduce the risk of the introduction and the spread of main honeybee diseases. The manual’s overall objective is ultimately to support a more sustainable beekeeping sector.
