Book on swarming.

3237 Views 25 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  Charles
Many people are interested in swarm traps this year. It seems there are many questions like how to build, where to place, what to put in them, and so on. Of course someone here will answer all those questions.

But may I suggest for those who are setting out swarm traps, an excellent book on the topic. It covers swarming, control, causes, prevention, etc. It is a collection of articles that include some really great research from Cornell University. The book costs $5.00 and that included shipping the last time I checked.

You can get it from Root publications by calling 1-800-289-7668 and asking for item #X56 called swarming.

Hi,
DO these guys have an email that I,m able to order a copy to the UK do you know?
Thanks in advance....Pritt
Pritt,
Good to see you on here.

I looked on their site....
http://www.beeculture.com/store/index.c ... s&CatID=89

But now they do not have it listed. I hope they are not sold out. I will check tomorrow and let you know. I hope they did not discontinue the book as I gave out that information to many people.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing what you find out...Top service by the way on the lures! Many thanks. :)
Pritt,
I called today and they confirmed that the book is being discontinued. I grabbed the last couple they had. I'll be more than happy to send you a copy. The book costs me $5 and I'm not sure what media mailing for overseas is, but I'll check at the post office if your interested. Should not be more than 2-3 dollars.

Take care.
Bjorn, how about posting the name and the author's name here. Maybe we can find it on Amazon, either new or used.
Bjorn...Well done indeed...Please send a copy...Much appreciated..I think you have my details?

Iddee, I think I,ve looked on Amazon but no joy :cry: Didnt have the authors name though, so not sure if that might help?

Now why would I do that??? Didn't you just read that I snatched up the last copies and for the incredible low price of $29.95, I'll be glad to send you a copy... :lol:

There is no author. It is a collection of articles published in Bee Culture over the years, with supporting research. It covers research at Cornell, with people such as Bonney, Ott, Morse, and others. It is a soft cover book of 62 pages. But for anyone wanting to learn about swarms, it is very good to have.

The ISBN is 0-936028-09-2

Pritt,
I finally got the shipment.
Do me a favor, send me your shipping info again, and I'll get a copy out ASAP. I know I have it somewhere but it will save time if you just send it to me.
Take Care, Mike.

http://blossomland.com/swarming-thecauseandprevention.aspx

Is this the book bjorn?
Charles and others
Yep thats the book !! Well found Charles!!..I would snap it up if any one wants a copy, great reference book.... :)

Blossomland doesn't have it either! And I can't find it on the web anywhere else.
I guess I could scan and post here! Would that infringe copyright? You betcha....What do you think?Its not a massive book..
