Description
The new, revised edition of our leading specialist's books responds to the growing interest of readers in beekeeping. Here you will find information about sources of bee forage, pollen, pollen baskets, and nectar sources. It describes plants harmful to bees, plants of little significance, as well as plants that are significant for bees. A special section contains a botanical description of approximately 300 nectar and pollen-producing plants, including their optimal habitat requirements, methods of reproduction, and even medicinal substances. Emphasis is placed on evaluating the beekeeping significance of the described plants, their nectar production, and sugar content, which will help readers compare specific sources of bee pasture. This publication will be appreciated primarily by practical beekeepers, but it will certainly also be useful for gardeners, ecologists, herbalists, and others.
