The Beekeepers Handbook

The Beekeeper's Handbook, Third Edition by Diana Sammataro and Alphonse Avitabile is a comprehensive guide that has been revised and expanded to reflect the latest developments in beekeeping. It covers the crisis caused by parasitic bee mites, particularly the devastating impact of varroa mites on both managed and wild honeybee populations in North America. The new edition includes up-to-date information on mite detection and control, as well as strategies for selecting and testing bees with potential mite tolerance. This essential resource provides beekeepers with the knowledge needed to navigate the challenges facing honeybee colonies today.
