1. Insect Bioecology and Nutrition for Integrated Pest Management

   Edited by Antônio Ricardo Panizzi, José R. P. Parra

   The field of insect nutritional ecology has been defined by how insects deal with nutritional and non-nutritional compounds, and how these compounds influence their biology in evolutionary time. In contrast, Insect Bioecology and Nutrition for Integrated Pest Management presents these entomological...

2. Honey Bee Colony Health

   Challenges and Sustainable Solutions

   Edited by Diana Sammataro, Jay A. Yoder

   Series: Contemporary Topics in Entomology

   Modern commercial beekeeping has changed from primarily honey production to crop pollination.
