Book Description

ISBN-10: 0851994482 | ISBN-13: 978-0851994482 | Publication Date: June 28, 2000 | Edition: First

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 worlds main crops are covered in 36 short chapters that make up the second part of the book.

This review is from: Crop Pollination by Bees (Hardcover)

This is another in-depth reference text full of detailed information on bees as crop pollinators. My favorite things about this book are the step-by-step instructions on rearing bumble bees (it also includes some management information on other native bees), and details about pollination requirements for a long list of crops. A must-have if your work involves bees and crop interactions!
