  • 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.

They were cute and stayed on for days!
Color: Set B:3 gold+3 silver
These face sparkle tattoos are great! If you apply them right, they can last several days. My first try, I got the entire tattoo wet all at once. It slid around and it ended up crooked. And because I couldn’t apply pressure to the entire area, some of the spots came off fairly easy. My second attempt was much better. I started on my nose area and then did one cheek at a time, holding it firmly in place the entire time. It was straight and everything stayed on until days later whenI used makeup remover to take it off. I really love these. I wore them for the holidays and felt fun and festive. I WILL buy them again!

Worth it!
Color: Set D:6 holographic multicolor
Great product. Great price. Used for myself and a friend for her first 5k race. I also let me 3yr old daughter wear some for her 1 mile fun run. They lasted throughout the day/race. My recommendation if you buy. Cut the single piece into 3 separate. Nose, one for each side and apply in 3 separate sections. It takes a touch longer BUT it is easier to apply. Especially if your face is smaller and it’s easier to handle.

Rave Freckles!
Color: Set D:6 holographic multicolor
I got these for a Rave. They were very cute once I figured out the best way to put them on. I had to go through 2 before I figured it out. They stayed on well (as well as any temp tattoo can). If you have trouble getting them off, just get some facial oil cleanser! They were cute and I got lots of compliments.

Easy application
Color: Set D:6 holographic multicolor
Lasts all day. Is a bit sticky to the touch once applied (which actually helps keep my glasses from slipping). Fairly easy to remove with some oil and a cloth, didn't try removal wipes that come with them.
