Honey Bee Medicine

Honey Bee Medicine for the Veterinary Practitioner

An authoritative guide to honey bee health and hive management, written with veterinarians in mind, but fitting for beekeeping professionals as well. The book covers a wide range of topics including basic husbandry, equipment and safety, anatomy, genetics, the diagnosis and management of disease. It also includes up to date information on Varroa and other bee pests, introduces honey bee pharmacology and toxicology, and addresses native bee ecology.

Includes chapters written by our very own Betterbee owner, Christopher J. Cripps, DVM and our Director of Research and Education, David T. Peck, PhD.
