What do all natural bee dwellings have in common? What conditions do honey bees find here and what influence do these have on bee health? How species-appropriate are modern beehives?

This Books explains the role of the honeybee microbiome in a special section and, in the main section, the effects of temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide on health and disease, the physical processes in the hive, the climate regulation of honeybees and the effects of the properties of bee dwellings on the microclimate in the hive. With an extensive evaluation of existing literature, open questions are answered and the complex relationships are discussed in detail and presented in an easily understandable way.
