This book is written by beekeepers for beekeepers. It provides comprehensive information on bee diseases and pests, and their impact on the colony. In addition, we have listed good beekeeping practices, including preventative measures that could be used to improve bee health. Much of what is listed and described is useful across the world, however, beekeeping practices, climate and governmental regulations vary significantly - our focus is on bee diseases, framed within the context of Ireland.

The aim of this book is to guide beekeepers in their practices, to increase their awareness of honeybee diseases and pests, and to minimise the risk of the potential spread of diseases and pests. All infromation is relevant for the Federation of Irish Beekeepers Associations (FIBKA) Examinations and adheres to Irish legislation at the time of publication.

In this dynamic and ever-changing world, understanding and addressing bee diseases and pests, and improving bee health, is critical for the long-term survival of these important pollinating insects.

Foreword written by the President of Apimondia, the International Federation of Beekeepers Associations Dr. Jeffery Stuart Pettis.
