Honey bee colony health : : challenges and sustainable solutions / / editors: Diana Sammataro, Jay Yoder.
Modern commercial beekeeping has changed from primarily honey production to crop pollination. With this change has come extraordinary stress-colonies are moved multiple times a year, increasing their exposure to diseases, parasites, and hive pests. Antibiotics and acaricides are being applied more f...
