Asian Apiculture: Proceedings of the First International Conference on the Asian Honey Bees and Bee Mites

Southeast Asia is the center of honey bee diversity. All species of the genus Apis are found here. This rich diversity constitutes a spectacular resource for research in honey bee biology. Most, if not all of the diseases, pests and parasites of honey bees are found here as well. This book contains reports by research scientists from around the world on biology, colony management, pest management, hive products, bee flora, and related areas. Considerable attention is placed on bee mites, their biology and control, both chemical and non chemical. An extensive Bibliography of Asian Honey Bees completes the text.
