Beekeeping Practices for Management of Africanized Bees
(Springer, 2014) Van Veen, Johan Wilhelm
In this chapter specifi c management techniques for keeping defensive Africanized honeybees are discussed. First of all the use of individual hive stands and the importance of climate factors are discussed amongst others in locating an apiary. Secondly management techniques are presented directed to diminish the aggressiveness of the bees and to reduce swarming and absconding. The use of queen excluders to improve honey production through reducing the colony’s investment in brood is being discussed, based on the author’s own experience.
Biology of Honeybees and Stingless Bees
(Springer Nature B.V, 2014) van Veen, Johan W.
Cualquier forma de apicultura se basa en la biología de las abejas. En este capítulo se describen brevemente los fundamentos de la biología de las abejas, que los apicultores deben comprender para poder gestionar correctamente sus colmenas. El ciclo vital, la arquitectura de los nidos, la división del trabajo entre las abejas obreras, las estrategias de búsqueda de alimento, la orientación, la comunicación sobre las fuentes de alimento y la reproducción mediante la enjambrazón son algunos de los temas tratados en relación con las abejas melíferas ( Apis ) y las abejas sin aguijón ( Meliponini ). La gestión de las abejas basada en estos elementos dará como resultado colonias fuertes y sanas, que a su vez proporcionarán al apicultor una buena cosecha de productos de las colmenas.

Prevention of honeybee diseases
(Springer Nature B.V., 2014-08) van Veen Marinissen, Johan
Bee diseases, pests, and recently the collapse of colonies have become amongst the beekeeper’s biggest problems. Much can be done however to reduce the impact of pests and diseases and to prevent them from occurring in the apiary. In this chapter several management techniques are described that will help to prevent the hives from becoming infested with diseases or reduce their impact. Especially in humid areas it is important to keep hives in well-ventilated areas, away from stagnant water. It is equally important to avoid excessive sunshine on the hives, by providing shade at the hottest coments of the day, especially in the tropics. The importance of being a hygienic beekeeper, through changing combs in the brood chamber at least every 2 years and by cleaning the bottom board regularly, is stressed, as well as the importance of using the adequate cell width according to the race of bees you have, as a method of helping your bees to resist infestation by Varroa destructor.
