This book will help beekeepers understand the fundamentals of
beekeeping science. Written in plain and accessible language by
actual researchers, it should be part of every beekeeper's library.
The respective chapters not only present raw data; they also
explain how to read and understand the most common figures. With
topics ranging from honeybee nutrition to strains of Varroa
resistant bees, from the effects of pesticide chemicals to
understanding diseases, and including a discussion of venom
allergies, the book provides essential "knowhow" that beekeepers
will benefit from every time they inspect their hives. Further,
each chapter ends with the author explaining how beekeepers can (or
cannot) directly utilize the information to enhance their
beekeeping operation. The text is structured to facilitate ease of
use, with each author addressing the same four issues: 1) What are
the specific purposes or goals of these experiments? Or more
simply: what have these studies taught us? 2) How should a
non-scientist read the data generated? 3) What are the key points
in relation to practicing beekeepers' goals? 4) How can the data or
techniques discussed be applied by beekeepers in their own
apiaries? This approach allows readers to look up specific
information quickly, understand it and even put it to use without
having to read entire chapters. Further, the chapters are highly
readable and concise. As such, the book offers a valuable guide and
faithful companion for all beekeepers, one they can use day in and
day out.
This book is designed to be a long term career reference. The
chapters present modern procedures. This is a how-to-book with a
difference. These chapters:
- reveal the background information about working with salt loving
organisms,
- are loaded with information about how experiments are conducted
under high salt,
- provide information about analyses that work under these
conditions and those that may not,
- present a wide range of details from laboratory designs to
equipment used and even to simple anecdotal hints that can only
come from experience.
Microbiological training focuses largely on the growth, the
handling and the study of the microbes associated with humans and
animals. Yet the largest proportion of the Earth s microbiota lives
in saline environments such as the Oceans, saline deserts and
terminal hypersaline environments. This need for salt can be
intimidating for those interested in entering the field or for
those interested in understanding how such research is
accomplished."
A book for anyone interested in halophilic bacteria
The Biology of Halophilic Bacteria presents detailed information
regarding methods for working with halophilic bacteria. Helpful
hints for performing various tests and assays in high salts are
given, and information about data presentation and analysis is
provided as well. The book will be useful to molecular biologists,
biochemists, ecologists, and others interested in halophilic
bacteria.
