Note publique d'information : Since the second half of the 20th Century, our agricultural bee pollinators have faced
mounting threats from ecological disturbance and pan-global movement of pathogens
and parasites. At the same time, the area of pollinator-dependent crops is increasing
globally with no end in sight. Never before has so much been asked of our finite pool
of bee pollinators. This book not only explores the evolutionary and ecologic bases
of these dynamics, it translates this knowledge into practical research-based guidance
for using bees to pollinate crops. It emphasizes conserving wild bee populations as
well as culturing honey bees, bumble bees, and managed solitary bees. To cover such
a range of biology, theory, and practice from the perspectives of both the pollinator
and the crop, the book is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 focuses on bees, their
biology, coevolution with plants, foraging ecology and management, and gives practical
ways to increase bee abundance and pollinating performance on the farm.
