Now in its fully updated Second Edition, this essential volume explores the crucial role of honey bees in agriculture and global ecosystems—and the growing challenges that threaten their survival. Since the mid‑1990s, beekeepers worldwide have witnessed dramatic colony losses driven by disease, intoxication, emerging parasites, and other still‑unresolved factors. As apiculture becomes increasingly globalised, veterinarians and animal‑health professionals are more vital than ever in protecting honey bee health.

This new edition provides an accessible yet comprehensive overview of honey bee biology, environmental interactions, intoxication, major diseases, and parasitic threats—with expanded coverage of Varroa destructor and updated information on invasive species such as the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida) and Tropilaelaps mites
It examines contemporary issues shaping beekeeping today, including climate change, crop‑pollination dynamics and antimicrobial resistance
New chapters on One Health and pollinators as foundations for honey bee veterinary medicine, nutrition, nutritional disorders, honey bee welfare and biosecurity in honey bee farms have been added in this second edition for a better comprehension of the importance of a necessary overview of the honey bee health in the environment and its roles in the biodiversity
A chapter on autopsy and dissection of an adult honey bee follows the one on veterinary practice to give a whole overview on what a practitioner can do in the field of honey bee veterinary medicine
A new important chapter dedicated to honey bee health and beekeeping in Africa, Asia and South America where not only Apis mellifera, but also Stingless bees and Apis cerana are reared for honey production and pollination

Designed for veterinarians, students, researchers, and apiculture specialists, Honey Bee Veterinary Medicine is equally valuable for beekeepers, environmental organisations, and anyone committed to the future of honey bee health.
