摘要:

Costa Rica, the‘Rich Coast’of Central America, will be the venue for IBRA's Sixth Conference on Tropical Bees: Management and Diversity. This beautiful and friendly country with its diverse tropical forests and scenic volcanoes is an excellent place for anyone interested in tropical bees and apiculture. Bee diversity is fascinating in Costa Rica and the beekeeping systems are, because of pre-columbian history and dynamic recent developments, of particular interest.

摘要:

Modern physicians trained in allopathic medicine are usually wary of naturopathic remedies because the mechanisms of efficacy are usually unclear. Indeed, if one examines recipes from Chinese herbal medicine or some‘home remedies,’the active ingredients are unknown. Also, demonstration of the effectiveness of the remedies often is not scientific (no use of placebos), and could be a result of psychological effects of the patient. However, modern allopathic doctors and researchers should not ignore potential benefits which natural products may provide in curing some of the most serious medical problems today.

摘要:

The first part of this two-part study (Bee World 76(4)) traced the history of the various national bodies working in the UK and, in particular, the British Beekeepers' Association (BBKA) from its London club beginnings into a body responding to Government demands at the opening of WW2. The key literature of the inter-war period was noted. In this second study the BBKA response to the war is examined as the principal‘English’association. The build up is noted of a national apicultural educational system which over the subsequent 50 years is progressively dismantled.

摘要:

Do honey bees compete for food with other bee species in nature? This question has been the focus of considerable scientific and political attention in recent years, especially, but not exclusively in Australia. In this article we provide the background and rationale of the argument and present scientific studies which have attempted to provide evidence. We also suggest some approaches to dealing with real issues related to honey bee competition, bee conservation, and honey bee management.

摘要:

The comprehensive review of world bee health published inBee Worldin 199310was updated in 199511, to supplement or correct the records given earlier. This brief update includes new reports and records not included in the two previous articles in this series. To make it most useful it incorporates all records published in the 1995 update, so it can be read with the original review and used as a reference to the honey bee health status of almost every country in the world.
