    Default Honey Bee Pests and Diseases useful Links

    Been mulling this for a while and thought it might be useful to try and gather reading material around the common bee pests and diseases, apiary hygiene and management, IPM schemes etc, into one place. The intention is to link only to documents or other online resources that forum consensus considers useful. I see lots of posts around the Module 3 exam (honey Bee Pests and Diseases) in terms of reading material and I think that would be a useful benchmark to consider in terms of the usefulness of a link or document.

    General
    BeeBase Main page
    Main Beebase/Fera Download Page - lots of related fact sheets and booklets around honey Bee Health.
    BeeBase Gallery - Helpful pics of various pests and disease conditions, plus some nicer ones too.
