The conservation of bees and other pollinators is currently very
high on the public agenda. Indeed, landscape, conservation and
biodiversity are inextricably linked and this book takes a
comprehensive look at the European scene. Originally published in
1994 it is appropriate for IBRA to republish this important book
which will help to link existing schemes for the management of
agricultural land with broader policies with the aim to encourage
all land holders to consider pollinators in their management
strategies.
Bees are beneficial insects that keep the world buzzing with life.
Albert Einstein once warned that if bees disappear from earth,
humankind would have no more than four years to live. Bees are
important because they pollinate flowering plants and crops. Many
bees perform a dance to communicate the direction and distance of
food sources from the hive. A backyard gardener can do a lot to
prevent worldwide honeybee die-off. For the most part, a bee garden
doesn't attract so many bees that a gardener has to worry about
being stung or attracting a host of bees. However, it's smart to
place some plants for bees on the outer fringes of the yard or
garden as opposed to next to the house or near walkways. In
addition to bees, other beneficial insects include dragonflies,
ladybugs, spiders and praying mantises. Learn about beekeeping and
the secrets in this delicate art in Alicia Moore's Beekeeping
Secrets.
Originally published in 1951. This book is a result of a lifetime
study of the equipment and practices for the production of fine
comb honey. It is also the purpose of this book to encourage only
the finest quality of comb honey to be offered to our markets. This
has been newly typeset and is not a scan or an OCR.
A handbook designed for use by beekeepers, growers, pesticide
applicators, county agents, ag consultants, environmentalists, and
research scientists and teachers. The book outlines methods of
protecting pollinating bee species to ensure adequate crop
pollination. Chapters include: History of Bee Poisoning, Bees and
their Relatives, Bee Poisoning Symptoms and Signs, Types of
Pesticides, Herbicides, Types of Insecticides, Pesticides Used by
Beekeepers, Factors Contributing to Bee Poisoning, Mortality
Factors Confused with Poisoning, Food Contamination, Other
Contaminant Effects, The Science of Bee Poisoning,
Legislation/Regulation, Miscellaneous Poisoning Problems, Reducing
Pollinator Damage and Death. There are five Appendixes: Sequential
Testing for Bee Hazard, Toxicity of Insecticides and Miticides,
Toxicity of Herbicides, Blossom and Fruit Thinners, Desiccants and
Plant Growth Regulators to Honey Bees, Toxicity of Fungicides to
Honey Bees and Specific Bee Poisoning Data for Insecticides and
Miticides.
This book contains classic material dating back to the 1900s and
before. The content has been carefully selected for its interest
and relevance to a modern audience.
This book offers everything you need to plant and nurture a garden
that will invite these vital pollinators in, creating spaces
bursting with vibrant colour and giving off heady, bee-friendly
scents from the right kinds of plants. In doing so you will, of
course, begin to cultivate an environment in which beneficial
insects thrive, and pests are controlled, meaning that your
gardens, balconies and containers create a delightful environment
for people as well as bees.
What Huber discovered and wrote about here, laid the ground work
for all the practical knowledge we have of bees today. His
discoveries were so revolutionary, that beekeeping can be divided
in two eras very easily as pre-Huber and post-Huber. This edition
of Huber's Observations by far surpasses any other edition ever
printed in the English language.First it has both Volume I and II,
while every English edition currently in print that I am aware of
is only Volume I of the 1809 edition. which is only a third of the
final Huber book. The second volume was published in 1814 in French
5 years after that 1809 edition and contains Huber's research on
the origin of wax, the construction of comb, the ventilation of the
hive and much more.Second, it is the best English translation from
the original French and the only one I know of that has both
volumes. C.P. Dadant, was uniquely qualified to do the translation.
Dadant was born in France and French was his first language, yet he
spent most of his life beekeeping; and writing and editing
beekeeping articles and books in America in English. Third, all of
the English editions currently in print have only 2 plates (if
any). Only the previous Dadant edition (1926) had all 14 of the
original plates but unfortunately they were only halftones of some
old yellow copies and are not very readable. This edition has new
scans from a very good condition edition of the original 1814
French of both Volumes of Nouvelles Observations Sur Les Abeilles
so these are clearer than any previous edition other than the
original 1814 French edition. An additional engraving of Huber's
work from Cheshire's book, plus an engraving of Francis Huber from
the Dadant edition have been included. In addition, 7 more photos
of a museum quality reproduction of Huber's Leaf hive have also
been included. All figures have been split out and enlarged and put
in the text where they are referred to. Photos of the original
plates are included at the back for historic and artistic
purposes.Fourth, to put this book in context I have included a
memoir of Huber by Professor De Candolle, a friend of Huber. This
gives a bit of background on Huber's life.Fifth, the only other
edition to come close to this, the 1926 edition by Dadant, was in
very small print. This one is 12 point and a typeface that appears
to be larger and is very readable.

This book is about how to keep bees in a natural and practical
system where they do not require treatments for pests and diseases
and only minimal interventions. It is also about simple practical
beekeeping. It is about reducing your work. It is not a main-stream
beekeeping book. Many of the concepts are contrary to
"conventional" beekeeping. The techniques presented here are
streamlined through decades of experimentation, adjustments and
simplification. The content was written and then refined from
responding to questions on bee forums over the years so it is
tailored to the questions that beekeepers, new and experienced,
have. It is divided into three volumes and this edition contains
only Volume II: Intermediate Beekeeping Naturally.
Queen Rearing Simplified is one of the most popular queen rearing
books of all time written by a man who raised a lot of good queens.
It is no longer in print, so I am trying to keep Jay's wisdom alive
here. There are many queen breeding books by scientists or
small-scale breeders, but this is by a beekeeper who raised
thousands of queens every year. I think what he has to say is much
more applicable to practical queen rearing. This is a reprint so
the old pictures are not the highest quality.
