Hello All,
I have been reading a very interesting book :

"Parasites in Social Insects" by Paul Schmid-Hempel

On the back cover Thomas Seeley (Cornell University) calls the book an
extremely important work. I especially like the section on viruses. The book
might be a read for entomologists rather than beekeepers but quite a bit of
information on honey bees is in the book.
I found my copy at a half price book store and then further marked down
another half to less than six dollars . The store owner said he thought a
person would never come through the door and buy the book as the book had
been in his store for over five years!

Paul Schmid-Hempel is a professor of experimental Ecology at ETH in Zurich,
Switzerland , and head of a research group on the evolutionary ecology of
host -parasite interactions.

Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
