Peter Kevan 1996 315 pages (K250) This useful book evolved from the proceedings of a conference held in Malaysia in 1988. Papers by 37 authors cover a wide range of aspects of Asian beekeeping. The history of beekeeping in Asia, basic biology of Asian bees, honey, wax and other bee products, and crop pollination. Also covered are the diseases and pests of bees which occur in the region, and there is, importantly, a chapter on beekeeping and development in Asia. The book is attractively illustrated, and good value.
