In 2006, beekeepers discovered that tens of thousands of honey bees had gone missing in a phenomenon that became known as Colony Collapse Disorder. Scientists have identified several factors that may have caused the disorder including viruses and Varroa mite infestations. So apiologists—bee doctors—created solutions to protect honey bees from these threats: a vaccine against American Foulbrood, a food supplement that helps bees survive viruses spread by Varroa mites, and genetically modifying western honey bees so they remove Varroa mite-infested larvae from their hives. But the fight to save bees isn’t over. This up-to-date book looks at what these important animals need to thrive.
Author's note. Honey bees facts. Glossary. Source notes. Further reading. Index. Full-color photographs and maps.
