Apimondia 2004 (VID31) One of the most serious threats to beekeeping today is the spread of honeybee diseases and parasites and the over-recommended use of antibiotics and pesticides to control them. There is growing concern about the residues these products leave - especially in honey that consumers regard as a natural and healthy product. In October 2002, 275 experts from 45 countries met in Celle, Germany, to discuss the possibilities to avoid residues in bee products, especially honey, and also how to measure residues. Honey traders, equipment manufacturers, apicultural researchers, extensionists and beekeepers participated in the Symposium. Everything from the Symposium is here: abstracts, presentations, discussions, papers and conclusions. A list of participants is also provided. This is a splendid CD - it is very easy to find the information you need, and it provides an excellent resource on this important and concerning subject.
