Acknowledgments
This book would not be possible without the collaboration among veterinarians, entomologists, toxicologists, pharmacologists, and the beekeeping community. We thank all the authors who so generously donated their time and expertise. All of us that love and care for these important animals hope this book will be valuable to you even if you don't become a “bee doctor.” We invite you to join the Honey Bee Veterinary Consortium (hbvc.org).
We would, in particular, like to thank Dr. Barrett Slenning, Charlotte Hubbard, and Christine King for their editorial expertise and Patrick D. Wilson for his numerous illustrations. Much thanks are also due to Dr. Gloria Degrandi‐Hoffman, Henry Graham, and Emily Watkins de Jong of the USDA's Carl Hayden Bee Research Center, Tucson, AZ for their assistance and support in obtaining photographs and Dr. Jamie Perkins, University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine and Dr. Andrew Wessman of the University of Arizona for assistance in acquiring the high magnification photos. We would also like to thank Dr. Ryane Englar for her expertise.
