4-H Honey Bee Youth Project Book I -- The Buzz about Bees: Honey Bee Biology and Behavior | Royalty fighting to the death, troves of golden treasure, thousands of slaves building massive edifices under the direction of a queen, and daring quests for the “food of the gods”; such mesmerizing tales of valor and adventure originate not from medieval Europe, ancient Greece, or the pyramids of Egypt but instead derive from a seemingly inconspicuous yet important insect: the honey bee. Honey bees are complex, fascinating insects. |

4-H Honey Bee Leaders Guide Book I - The Buzz About Bees:Honey Bee Biology and Behavior | To the 4-H Leader: The honey bee project (Books 1 - 4) is intended to teach young people the
basic biology and behavior of honey bees in addition to hands-on beekeeping management skills.
The honey bee project books begin with basic honey bee and insect information (junior level)
and advance to instruction on how to rear honey bee colonies and extract honey (senior level).
These project books are intended to provide in-depth information related to honey bee
management, yet they are written for the amateur beekeeper, who may or may not have previous
experience in rearing honey bees. |

4-H Honey Bee Youth Project Book II -- Veils, Smokers, and Supers: Equipment of Beekeepers | One lazy afternoon you find yourself looking across a field of
flowers. The sun is warm and the breeze rustles through the
grasses beneath your feet. Suddenly, at the edge of the field
you see a lone figure hunched over a white box. The person
is dressed from head to toe in a white, spaceman-looking
jumpsuit. You begin to get nervous as you peer closer and
notice a helmet covering his head. His gloved hands hold
a strange-looking instrument spewing smoke from some
internal, smoldering fire. You do not know it, but you are
about to witness a robbery by this alien creature. Should
you call the police? Should you take matters into your own
hands? No! Instead, grab a container and prepare to get some
honey! There’s a beekeeper hard at work! |

4-H Honey Bee Leaders Guide Book II -- Veils, Smokers, and Supers: Equipment of Beekeepers | With our understanding of honey bee biology and colony
structure, we can begin to investigate the process of rearing
bees for ourselves. To begin, we need a good understanding
of the equipment we will need and how to use
it. We will need to know the parts of the beehive and how
to assemble them properly to facilitate bee rearing and
honey production. Finally, we will need to handle bees
within the hive. The Honey bee Project Book 2 provides
the 4-H member with specific information about beekeeping,
bee handling, and hive inspection. |

Bed Bug Action Plan for Apartments | Bed bug infestations have been a nightmare for apartment managers. Apartment
communities have seen their pest management expenses go from $30,000 to over
$100,000 in a single year. Many apartment managers have admitted to hiring and
firing 3 or 4 pest management companies because none were able to get the bed bug
problem under control. Some complexes have even closed or sold because they could
no longer afford to treat communities that were 50-90% infested. |

Bed Bug Action Plan for Schools | Bed bug infestations are continuing to spread through single-family and multi-unit homes. This means that more people are living with bed bugs than ever before. When more people live with bed bugs the possibility of people transporting bed bugs to other locations increases. Children living with bed bugs at home will bring bed bugs to school. We need to accept the fact that bed bugs have the potential to be transported to school every day that school is in session. Thus, there is a great probability any particular school will experience multiple bed bug introductions every year. |

Non-Chemical Bed Bug Management | Bed bugs have proven to be a very challenging pest. While most people would like to have a pest management professional come to their home and spray a magic potion that eliminates bed bugs forever, no such potion exists. Bed bugs are highly resistant to a number of insecticides and their eggs are impervious to most insecticide formulations. |

Chinche de cama: Protéjase y proteja su hogar | La chinche de cama es una plaga que ha afectado a
humanos a través de la historia; a comienzos del siglo
pasado, era una plaga común en los Estados Unidos.
La chinche fue prácticamente erradicada de los
Estados Unidos en la década de los 40 y 50 debido,
en gran parte, al uso del insecticida DDT, el cual
estaba disponible para los consumidores y se aplicaba
extensamente con poca regulación. |
