Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1973, tens of thousands of first-time and experienced beekeepers alike have relied on The Beekeeper's Handbook as the best single-volume guide to the hobby and profession of beekeeping. Featuring clear descriptions and authoritative content, this handbook provides step-by-step directions accompanied by more than 100 illustrations for setting up an apiary, handling bees, and working throughout the season to maintain a healthy colony of bees and a generous supply of honey. This book explains the various colony care options and techniques, noting advantages and disadvantages, so that beekeepers can make the best choices for their own hives. This fourth edition has been thoroughly redesigned, expanded, updated, and revised to incorporate the latest information on Colony Collapse Disorder, green IPM methods, regional overwintering protocols, and procedures for handling bees and managing diseases and pests such as African honey bees and bee mites. The book explains not only how but also why each step is part of the transformative process that results in the magnificent creation of honey. This essential guide is a beekeeper's most valuable resource. Colony Collapse Disorder has renewed our recognition of the importance of small-scale beekeeping and the critical role of bees in the production of our food supply. For the growing number of beekeepers looking to set up hives for either a rewarding hobby or a profitable commercial enterprise, this updated and revised essential how-to guide includes: step-by-step directions for all stages from setting up an apiary to harvesting honey; approximately 100 illustrations featuring techniques, equipment, and bee biology; information about how to manage new pests and diseases including Colony Collapse Disorder; coverage of new trends and changes in beekeeping including green IPM techniques and new laws for urban beekeeping; the most up-to-date bibliography and list of resources on the topic; and a new user-friendly book design that clearly highlights instructions and other important features.
Download or read book The Lives of Bees written by Thomas D. Seeley and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeley, a world authority on honey bees, sheds light on why wild honey bees are still thriving while those living in managed colonies are in crisis. Drawing on the latest science as well as insights from his own pioneering fieldwork, he describes in extraordinary detail how honey bees live in nature and shows how this differs significantly from their lives under the management of beekeepers. Seeley presents an entirely new approach to beekeeping--Darwinian Beekeeping--which enables honey bees to use the toolkit of survival skills their species has acquired over the past thirty million years, and to evolve solutions to the new challenges they face today. He shows beekeepers how to use the principles of natural selection to guide their practices, and he offers a new vision of how beekeeping can better align with the natural habits of honey bees.

Download or read book Commercial Beekeeping written by Dharm Singh and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honeybees are an amazing insects on earth which pollinate over 80% of all flowering plants including 70 of the top 100 human food crops. One third of total diet is directly or indirectly dependent on honeybee pollinated plants. It reflect that without bees people could struggle to sustain the global human population of 9 billion by 2050. Presently, we are losing bees world-over at an alarming rate. If honeybee disappears from surface of the earth, we may loss all plants that bees pollinates, all of the animals that eat those plants and ultimately man would have no more than four years to live. Therefore, it is an urgent need to love these valuable mini-creatures, raise voice everywhere to protect them and enhance their population through beekeeping. Beekeeping is widely recognized economically sustainable occupation which offer an attractive avenues for livelihood, employment generation, holistic development of rural societies and survival of human through ensured food security. This book deals different issues of commercial beekeeping and provide scientific, authentic and very useful information on various aspects. The subject matter is presented in a comprehensive & lucid style which make this book very useful. Moreover, international demand, import-export, market-outlook, producers & suppliers of value-added bee-hive products, role of different agencies in beekeeping development and model project reports appended add great values. This book, thus, has enormous scope and opportunities to address food & health security problems, upliftment of Farm-output, promotion of food industries and employment generation. This manuscript will also be more useful to assist Agri-business Planners, policy makers, Researchers, industrialists, teachers, students & farmers world-over who are interested in beekeeping-based commercial enterprises for their livelihood and income generation.
Download or read book Pollination Biology Vol 1 written by Dharam P. Abrol and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-16 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book covers interplay between pest management strategies and safety of pollinators. Detailed information is provided on pests and pollinators of temperate, subtropical and tropical fruit crops. Most of the fruit crops are highly cross pollinated and depend upon insects or benefit from insect pollination for fruit set. Insect pests on the other hand cause major economic damage on fruit crops in tropics, subtropics and temperate. Evidently, pest management in fruit crops on one hand and providing safety to the pollinators on the other is a challenging task in the context of increasing horticultural productivity without upsetting the ecological balance. This book aims to integrate and develop pest control strategies in a way to minimize their impact on beneficial insect species such as natural enemies and pollinators to enhance fruit production and quality. The book covers interplay between pest management strategies and safety of pollinators. Detailed information is provided on pests and pollinators of temperate, subtropical and tropical fruit crops. Pollinators play a crucial role in flowering plant reproduction and in the production of most fruits and vegetables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has a wider approach not strictly focused on crop production compared to other books that are strictly oriented towards bees, but has a generalist approach to pollination biology. It also highlights relationships between introduced and wild pollinators and consequences of such introductions on communities of wild pollinating insects. The chapters on biochemical basis of plant-pollination interaction, pollination energetics, climate change and pollinators and pollinators as bioindicators of ecosystem functioning provide a base for future insights into pollination biology. The role of honeybees and wild bees on crop pollination, value of bee pollination, planned honeybee pollination, non-bee pollinators, safety of pollinators, pollination in cages, pollination for hybrid seed production, the problem of diseases, genetically modified plants and bees, the role of bees in improving food security and livelihoods, capacity building and awareness for pollinators are also discussed.
