The problems are conveniently organized into the following categories: ·Beekeeping Basics – My new bees arrived during a cool, rainy period. ... ·Beekeeping Equipment – The beehive smoker will not stay lit. ... ·Biology and Behavior of the Colony – There are many dead drones at the hive entrance. ... ·Managing and Manipulating Hives – The brood nest has been built across multiple boxes. ... ·Queen Production and Maintenance – The queen is not a good egg producer. ... ·Diseases and Pests of Honey Bees – Varroa mites have overrun the colony. ... ·Pollen and Pollination – Too few bees are pollinating the target crop. ... ·Producing and Processing Honey – The honey filter keeps getting clogged. ... ·Beeswax, Propolis, and Specialty Issues – Propolis is difficult to gather and process. ...

“As a world authority on insect anatomy, Snodgrass has given us this book a brilliant account of the anatomy of the honey bee and how it relates to the way that bees develop and how and why they function as they do in their interesting communal life. This book should be in the library of every student of the honey bee and bee behaviour—beekeepers as well as scientists. The book is delightfully written and is enjoyable reading.”—American Bee Journal “This is not just a technical reference book on honey bee anatomy. It is far more, it is essentially a treatise on entomology, using one species as an example, and including a discussion of the fundamentals of embryology, development, and metamorphosis as well as anatomy. The subject of each chapter is approached from the broadest evolutionary point of view, and its horizon includes all the arthropods and beyond, so that the bee really typifies animal life in general. Finally, the language of the book is such that it can be read straight through with pleasure....It is a delight to follow the author through this complete examination of one insect: how it develops, how it grows, and how it operates.”—Entomological News
