“…this book will serve as an excellent guide. The illustrations and photos of this book are consistently brilliant and very useful, which makes the book a rich fund for giving lectures. The book probably covers all veterinarians (and other target groups, including beekeepers) need from such a compendium.” - Bee World, December 2021
"This new book is a significant contribution to both the veterinary and beekeeping literature....Although primarily written for a North American readership, British/European veterinary professionals and beekeepers alike will find this 400-page professional textbook a valuable and comprehensive resource. The price tag is fairly high, but it is essential reading for anyone who is seriously interested in honey bee medicine and is a must-have for vet school and beekeeping association libraries." - Vet Record, July 2022
"Overall, this textbook is a comprehensive summary of information pertaining to honey bee medicine, with the target audience being the veterinary practitioner. While this book may [be] slightly advanced for the first-time bee doctor just dipping their toes into the area of invertebrate medicine, the book provides supplemental resources for practitioners to build their knowledge-base. This is a thorough and reliable resource for veterinarians branching out into the honey bee industry." - Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine, January 2023
