In 2006, beekeepers discovered that tens of thousands of honey bees had gone missing in a phenomenon that became known as Colony Collapse Disorder. Scientists have identified several factors that may have caused the disorder including viruses and Varroa mite infestations. So apiologists--bee doctors--created solutions to protect honey bees from these threats: a vaccine against American Foulbrood, a food supplement that helps bees survive viruses spread by Varroa mites, and genetically modifying western honey bees so they remove Varroa mite-infested larvae from their hives. But the fight to save bees isn't over. This up-to-date book looks at what these important animals need to thrive.
