edited by Pamela Collins & Gladstone Solomon 1999 230 pages (C250) If you need to know about beekeeping development in the Caribbean, then this is the book for you: an excellent source of information on the region. There are also technical papers, for example on the reproduction of stingless bees in Tobago, the management of Africanised bees in Costa Rica, apitherapy, plus reports from institutions and non-governmental organisations on their work in the region. Seven appendices give yet more useful information. These Proceedings were speedily and professionally published after the highly successful First Caribbean Congress held in Tobago in 1998.
