Popis/Description: Bees are part of the biodiversity on which we all depend for our survival. They provide high-quality food such a honey, royal jelly and pollen and other products such as beeswax or propolis. Beekeeping provides an important source of income for many rural livelihoods. Pollinators contribute directly to food security - a third of the world’s food production depends on bees. Western honey bee is the most widespread managed pollinator globally, and more than 80 million hives produce an estimated 1,6 million tonnes of honey annually. Beekeeping has been one from the first subjects offered to foreign students at the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra. I am delighted that you have also chosen this course to learn the basics of beekeeping and I hope it will awaken your interest in this wonderful branch of agriculture... (Preface)
