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.

Reviews for Honey Bee Pests and Diseases: A complete guide to prevention and management

“ a timely and important book … useful resource for all manners and levels of beekeeping it consolidates important information as never before ,,, should be in the library of all beekeepers“ * Australian Bee Journal * “As someone who has taken many classes on pests and diseases of hon¬ey bees, and who also teaches these classes, I know how hard it is to get a good grasp of this wide-ranging area of beekeeping, and also how hard it is to remember the details of each pest or disease. This book is the answer. And, it is easy to understand. Every beekeeper will benefit from (and even enjoy) reading this book.” * Honey Bee Pests and Diseases * “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. It is an important guide to keeping hives healthy and producing.” * Hive Lights Magazine *
