Honeybees are an essential part of farming and the wider ecosystem.
Since the middle of the 1990s bee populations around the world have
suffered dramatic decline through diseases, intoxication, and
unknown causes. Veterinarians have had little training in bee
health but as the situation continues, qualified animal health
professionals and, in particular, veterinarians are being required
to become involved as new dangers threaten honeybee health
everywhere because of global apiculture, trade and exchanges of
honeybees, products of the hive and beekeeping material such as
Aethina tumida (the small hive beetle - a beekeeping pest)
introduced in Italy in 2014 or the mite Tropilaelaps spp (parasitic
mites of honeybees).This book will provide an overview of bee
biology, the bee in the wider environment, intoxication, bee
diseases, bee parasites (with a large part dedicated to the mite
Varroa destructor) pests enemies, and veterinary treatment and
actions relating to honeybee health. The book will also cover
current topics such as climate change, crop pollination, use of
phytosanitary products, antibiotic resistance, and Colony Collapse
Disorder.While aimed at veterinary practitioners, students and
veterinarians involved in apiculture and bee health (officials,
researchers, laboratory veterinarians, biologists. ..), the book
can also be beneficial to beekeepers, beekeeping stakeholders,
animal health and environmental organisations.
