Essence and Mechanism of Nest Abandonment by Honeybee Swarms by Zbigniew Lipiński
€35,95
Essence and Mechanism of Nest Abandonment by Honeybee Swarms
€35,95
This hardback book is a new updated edition of the work which was awarded a Gold Medal at the XXXVII Apimondia Congress, Durban 2001. It reviews in great detail the factors responsible for swarming, nest abandonment and related phenomena.
This volume is very well researched and listed in its 312 pages over 50 pages of references. Not really suitable for the hobbyist but of great value for all who wish to take further their understanding of the honeybee.
Zbigniew Lipinski DVM. (PhD.) Specialist in: Apidology (D.Sc), Animal parasitology (Ph.D), Diseases of beneficial insects, Master in Beekeeping. Retired but currently employed at the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Olsztyn, Poland.
