Description
/li>
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.
