Včelaření od jara do zimy – Urban Miroslav (2018)

The richly illustrated book will teach you, through clear texts, a hundred drawings, and many photographs, what and how to properly care for bees throughout the year. It will explain the connections between bees and the surrounding nature and weather during the changing seasons, teach you how to care for bee colonies without disrupting their natural life cycle, and how to harvest honey and other bee products. In the first, more general or theoretical part, you will become familiar with the biology of bees, technical terms, hive assemblies, essential beekeeping equipment, and also with diseases that harm bee colonies. However, the main and crucial part is the practical section divided into four seasons. In the individual chapters, the author will explain the specific tasks you need to perform throughout the year. The topics are divided into double pages, richly illustrated, and accompanied by photographs from the author's archive for clarity. Important information about bee diseases, especially varroosis, the greatest threat to our bee colonies, and the necessary and effective measures against them is included. The book is designed very practically and is based on the author's many years of beekeeping experience.
