Managing Alternative Pollinators Now Available from SARE
(Embedded image moved to file: pic00954.jpg)Pollinator Cover
During the past 50 years, America has witnessed an almost 50
percent decline in the number of managed honey bee colonies.
With two-thirds of the world's crops requiring pollination,
beekeepers and growers are seeking pollination alternatives
and ways to bring honey bees back from the brink.
Managing Alternative Pollinators: A Handbook for Beekeepers,
Growers and Conservationists is a first-of-its-kind,
step-by-step, full-color guide for rearing and managing
bumble bees, mason bees, leafcutter bees and other bee
species that provide pollination alternatives to the rapidly
declining honey bee.
Written by Eric Mader of the Xerces Society Pollinator
Conservation Program; Professor of Entomology Marla Spivak;
and Elaine Evans, author of Befriending Bumble Bees, the book
includes expert information on the business and biology of
pollination, and how-to guidance on raising the alternative
bee species.
The book is ideal for:
Beekeepers: Detailed information on each alternative
pollinator's biology, disease, pest and chemical
susceptibility, and step-by-step instructions on how to
rear and manage.
Growers: Guidance for understanding the business of
pollination, matching pollinators to crops, and
deciding how best to pollinate for successful
agriculture and pollinator protection.
Concerned Citizens: Easy-to-understand accounts of the
honey bee's plight, the business of pollination, and
what we all can do to protect pollinators and our food
systems.
