Since the second half of the 20th Century, our agricultural bee pollinators have faced mounting threats from ecological disturbance and pan-global movement of pathogens and parasites. At the same time, the area of pollinator-dependent crops is increasing globally with no end in sight. Never before has so much been asked of our finite pool of bee pollinators. This book not only explores the evolutionary and ecologic bases of these dynamics, it translates this knowledge into practical research-based guidance for using bees to pollinate crops. It emphasizes conserving wild bee populations as well as culturing honey bees, bumble bees, and managed solitary bees. To cover such a range of biology, theory, and practice from the perspectives of both the pollinator and the crop, the book is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 focuses on bees, their biology, coevolution with flowering plants, foraging ecology and management, and gives practical ways to increase bee abundance and pollinating performance on the farm. Volume 2 (this volume) focuses on crops, with chapters addressing crop-specific requirements and bee pollination management recommendations. Both volumes are essential reading for farmers, horticulturists and gardeners, researchers and professionals working in insect ecology and conservation, and students of entomology and crop protection.

Today everyone’s talking about honeybees. Because they are endangered, because we need them, because we want to protect them. This lovingly narrated picture book story will help pre-schoolers to understand why bees are so important to us. How is bee society organised? Why do bees collect nectar? How is honey made? Knowledge is important to help ensure we have an early receptiveness to environmental questions.

Bees, butterflies, ladybirds! So many insects are out and about in our native meadows. This puzzle book is full of little informative texts, animal stickers and pictures to colour in which not only educate but also promote early awareness about the environment and conservation. The pedagogical concept works through age-appropriate tasks and a clear structure: true-to-nature picture book illustrations on the left-hand side with a short factual text that can be read aloud or independently, plus a quiz question, then on the right-hand side are stickers and a puzzle to colour in. Testing knowledge is good. But this goes further: encouraging children to be inquisitive and imaginative about nature. At the end each animal sticker book with the little honey bee will look different. However you want it to be.

Mögen Sie Rosenkohl? Lieben Sie Brokkoli? Oder ist Fleisch Ihr Gemüse? Dass die Geschmäcker verschieden sind, ist eine Binsenweisheit. Aber nirgendwo sind die Vorlieben und Abneigungen so ausgeprägt wie beim Essen und so immun gegen gute Argumente. Nicht nur Eltern wissen davon ein Lied zu singen. Warum ist das so? Und was können wir tun, um anders, besser, zu essen? Bee Wilson hat sich auf eine spannende Reise zu den Ursprüngen unserer Ernährungsgewohnheiten begeben, mit der neuesten Forschungsliteratur sowie ihren eigenen Erfahrungen als Mutter von drei Kindern im Gepäck. Sie hat mit Psychologen und Ernährungsexperten gesprochen, Schulkantinen besucht und zahlreiche »Essbiographien« zusammengetragen. Das Ergebnis ist so lehrreich wie ermutigend: Geschmack ist kein Schicksal. Welche Speisen wir mögen, ob wir essen wie ein Spatz oder wie ein Scheunendrescher, ist uns nicht in die Wiege gelegt. Wir lernen es, und zwar in der Kindheit, am Esstisch der Familie, unter Einfluss zahlreicher Faktoren. Und wir können umlernen. Bee Wilson zeigt uns in ihrem neuen Buch, wie das geht, ohne dabei aus den Augen zu verlieren, was vielleicht das Wichtigste ist: die Freude am Essen.

The collapse of the ubiquitous honey bee population during the past 20 years has caused a pollination vacuum for many crops. Surveys and grower experience indicate that a crisis exists in pollinator populations. This book is an accessible, practical and authoritative research-based guide to using bees for crop pollination. It emphasizes conserving feral bee populations as well as more traditional methods of culturing honey bees and other bees. It addresses the biology of pollination, culturing and managing bees for optimum crop pollination. Individual pollination requirements and recommendations for the world’s main crops are covered in 36 short chapters that make up the second part of the book.

This book is the only account of what honeybees actually see. Bees detect some visual features such as edges and colours, but there is no sign that they reconstruct patterns or put together features to form objects. Bees detect motion but have no perception of what it is that moves, and certainly they do not recognize "things" by their shapes. Yet they clearly see well enough to fly and find food with a minute brain. Bee vision is therefore relevant to the construction of simple artificial visual systems, for example for mobile robots. The surprising conclusion is that bee vision is adapted to the recognition of places, not things. In this volume, Adrian Horridge also sets out the curious and contentious history of how bee vision came to be understood, with an account of a century of neglect of old experimental results, errors of interpretation, sharp disagreements, and failures of the scientific method. The design of the experiments and the methods of making inferences from observations are also critically examined, with the conclusion that scientists are often hesitant, imperfect and misleading, ignore the work of others, and fail to consider alternative explanations. The erratic path to understanding makes interesting reading for anyone with an interest in the workings of science but particularly those researching insect vision and invertebrate sensory systems.

The dragonfly quickly seeks help. It asks a housefly, a butterfly, a bee, a grasshopper, and a beetle for help. It also gets information from a duck, an egret, a kingfisher, and an otter. Finally, all six of them successfully pull the ant to the ground.

Ten scary stories that could have happened in your city as well: at home, in the yard, or at school. According to Kotryna Zylė, these scary stories were inspired by her dad’s stories heard in childhood and unexpected encounters with mythical creatures. The author likes to construct her own stories— to take an old myth or legend and rewrite it by transferring the action of the story into today’s reality. If, when reading this book, you think that someone is hiding in the closet or on the balcony at night, if nails open on a tree branch instead of buds, and a bee suddenly flies out of a friend’s mouth—stay calm, it is all creatures doing.

This book is contemporary, topical and global in its approach, and provides an essential, comprehensive treatise on bovine tuberculosis and the bacterium that causes it, Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis remains a major cause of economic loss in cattle industries worldwide, exacerbated in some countries by the presence of a substantial wildlife reservoir. It is a major zoonosis, causing human infection through consumption of unpasteurised milk or by close contact with infected animals. Following a systematic approach, expert international authors cover epidemiology and the global situation; microbial virulence and pathogenesis; host responses to the pathogen; and diagnosis and control of the disease. Aimed at researchers and practising veterinarians, this book is essential for those needing comprehensive information on the pathogen and disease, and offers a summary of key information learned from human tuberculosis research. It will be useful to those studying the infection and for those responsible for controlling the disease.
