 The unique and innovative "COLOSS BEEBOOK: standard methodologies for Apis mellifera research" was published on 01 September 2013 both online in the Journal of Apicultural Research and as a hard copy book for use at the laboratory bench.
The COLOSS BEEBOOK aims for the first time to standardise methods for studying the honey bee, Apis mellifera. It is a practical manual compiling standard methods in all fields of research on the honey bee, and will become the definitive, but evolving, research manual. Chapters describe methods for studying honey bee biology, methods for understanding honey bee pests and pathogens, and methods for breeding honey bees. It has been edited by Dr Vincent Dietemann of the Swiss Bee Research Centre, Agroscope Liebefeld-Posieux , Prof. Peter Neumann of the University of Bern, Switzerland, and Prof. Jamie Ellis of the University of Florida, USA. The initial BEEBOOK project is divided into two volumes: The COLOSS BEEBOOK, Volume I: Standard methods for Apis mellifera research and The COLOSS BEEBOOK, Volume II: Standard methods for Apis mellifera pest and pathogen research. A further volume covering hive products is in preparation.
