Chapter 10 – Pests and Diseases (pg.66-75)
This chapter presents an overview of pests and diseases that are most common in our area of the country and provides some remediation and treatment options. This is meant as an introduction to problems that a beginning beekeeper may see in their first year of beekeeping and is not meant to be an in-depth review of all the issues that an experienced beekeeper may encounter. Having a mentor or participating in a local association is important to help you know what may be a real problem and what isn’t.
