The decline of the honey bee is a major problem in today's beekeeping, with environmental toxins, monocultures and pesticides, as well as diseases and parasites, causing problems for bees.

All bee diseases and their treatment are covered in this book, as are all pests and their control, any protective measures in the event of infestation (including legal regulations) and the necessary precautions for disease and pest prevention.

Especially in the fight against the Varroa mite, one of the biggest problems of the honey bee, the colonies must be looked after as expertly as possible.
