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.

This book, which has gathered an accessible knowledge, no doubt would serve at first place for beekeepers in southeast Asia, and also for beekeepers and bee scientists all over the world.The book Honeybees: Diseases, Parasites, Pests, Predators and their Management is a new approach in understanding the diseases, parasites, pests, predators and their management in honeybee colonies.It contains an up-to-date information that would serve bee researchers and beekeepers to treat their bee colonies in the right way against pests and diseases. This book would be read by students and researchers in A picuture and beekeepers. It abridges our knowledge on honeybee pathology to keep Dr. Dorothea Brueckner Associate Professor, For schungsstelle fur Bienenkunde Universitaet Bremen, Germany Honeybees are eusocial, beneficial and eco-friendly all through their eventful and fruitful life. Despite being harmless and true social, they are afflicted by several pests, parasites and diseases. In this context, the book Honeybees: Diseases, Parasites, Pests, Predators and their Management for the first time presents an excellent account of various enemies and their management in all principal species of honeybees. It is indispensable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, teachers and researchers, and serves reading and reference as well. Management strategies recommended for Prof. C.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Biologie - Krankheiten, Gesundheit, Ernährung, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The study was conducted in East Wollega Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia, from December, 2016 up to August, 2017 to determine the prevalent and incidence rate of honeybee disease and pests. Questionnaire survey and laboratory diagnostic methods were used for the study. The questionnaire was administered to 146 beekeepers (97,1% males)and two honeybee colony samples from each beekeeper totally (292 honeybee colonies) were collected from transitional and frame box hives for laboratory diagnosis. The honeybee samples collected were examined in laboratory for the prevalent and incidence rate of honeybee disease pathogens and pests. Majority of the respondents started beekeeping after 2010 (28.03%) by catching colonies as honey bee colony source (54.8%). The major dearth period of the area was late march to early may. The trend of beekeeping in the study area was shifting from traditional to modern beekeeping and the trend of honeybee colony and its yield was decreasing due to honeybee health problem of the area (pests, predators, pathogenic disease, high cost of bee equipment and agro-chemical application). In the study area the major pests and predators considered as challenges were ants, beetles, wax moth, varroa destructor and some predators like honey badgers, bee eater birds, dead head hawks moth, lizards, wasps and birds respectively. Varroa, Nosema, Amoeba and chalk brood disease were confirmed while tracheal mite, stone brood, Ameriacan and Europian foul brood did not confirmed during the study period. The prevalentand incidence of varroa destructor was higher in dry season than wet season while the prevalent/incidence rate of nosema and chalk brood disease was limited during dry season. Amoeba disease was distributed in both seasons.For the reason of time restraint in this study area, farther study on economic threshold of honeybee disease and pests is suggested by monitoring throughout the year.

"This book with a foreword by Prof. Jerzy Woyke, a renowned bee scientist from the Agriculture University, Warsaw, Poland, contains 11 chapters. The first six chapters give a comprehensive information on the biology of honeybees, symptoms, diagnosis and management of diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa on both brood as well as on adult bees. Extensive information is being documented on the major bee diseases and their management strategies through manipulative methods, sterilization of combs and equipment, selective breeding and chemotherapy. Chapter seven briefly highlights the different non-infectious disorders, followed by chapter eight on the biology, nature of damage and possible control measures of parasitic mites. Chapters nine and ten describe the major insect pests and vertebrate predators. Finally, the book concludes with the chapter discussing the future strategies on safeguarding of honeybee colonies for honey production and crop pollination."--Préface.
