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. John Carr
