  • Unique synopsis of all theoretical and practical aspects of honey bee breeding, diversity and selection
  • Vividly enriched with figures, tables, expert interviews and further reading links
  • Written by an international team of >30 leading experts in the field
  • Additional multimedia content accessible in browser or via SN More Media App

This book is the result of collaborative efforts which have taken place over the past 20 years within the COLOSS network, when the factor “bee origin” was first put into the equation of factors involved in colony losses. It aims to provide beekeepers, apicultural students, and beekeeping enthusiasts with the scientific background necessary to understand these new ideas, so that future beekeeping may be based on existing “local” bee genotypes which can then be improved by selective breeding.

The work is divided into two parts. The first section briefly tells the story of honey bees, their origins and their long association with humans, the development of bee breeding and selection and finally the scientific and anecdotal evidence that show that local bees are better for the environment and for beekeeping itself. The second part provides a practical guide to techniques for sustainable bee breeding and selection, ranging from setting up performance testing, to the cost of selection, through methods for rearing queens and making selection decisions, including many aspects related to the control of the very special mating biology of the honey bee.

Authored by an expert team of more than 30 scientists, extension specialists and beekeepers from 16 countries around the world, the present synopsis provides all theoretical and practical aspects of honey bee breeding. It is rich in figures and vivid case studies, including hands-on interviews with bee breeders and other stakeholders. Final, a supplementary video can be accessed online as well as directly from the print book; simply download the free Springer Nature More Media App and scan the link in the accompanying figure caption.

Decrease in black heads. Smoother skin!
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve never used such a great pore minimizer for this reasonable of a price. I love how smooth and clean it makes my face feel. I’ve been using it twice a day after cleansing my skin. Noticeable difference in visible pores and decrease in black heads on my nose and chin. Highly recommend!! Come on with this price, you have nothing to lose.

Serum does not work to reduce pore size
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
While this serum does somewhat smooth skin it does absolutely nothing to reduce pore size which is primarily genetic and is resistant to most products. Not worth the money.
