Zootechnical Beekeeping Management - Paperback

by Pablo Montesinos Arraiz (Author)

Honey bees have been extensively studied in their biology, ecology, anatomy, morphology, physiology, behavior and general beekeeping, and there is a vast literature on each of these aspects. However, the issues concerning honey bees in their condition as farm animals have not been deal with rigorous zootechnical criteria.

This book presents methods, models and systems related to how to gather, transcribe and organize in a systematic, methodological and orderly way, the information that comes from the biological behavior of honey bee colonies, expressed as beekeeping parameters, for their analysis, evaluation and control, to apply the techniques and/or methods of the general beekeeping management in the breeding of bees for production purposes.
