J E Pena, J L Sharp & M Wysoki (editors) 2002 448 pages (P190) The biology, economic importance, natural enemies and control of tropical fruit pests and pollinators. This text is intended for researchers working in the fields of horticulture, entomology or pest management. World experts have contributed to reviews of the pests and pollinators of avocado, banana, guava, papaya, pineapple and several other major tropical fruits. All of these crops are now widely grown outside their original distribution area, and therefore face a range of predators of different arthropod fauna, as well as exotic predators that have also migrated out of their original area. Interesting to read that in some passion fruit growing areas, honeybees Apis mellifera are considered pests since they rob pollen from carpenter bees and thereby reduce pollination and fruit set. Also that the Brazilian stingless bee species Trigona spinipes attack the leaves, stems, trunk, developing buds and fruits of several plant species. We are not accustomed to reading about bees under the heading of Pests! Order usually dispatched between 4-6 weeks.
