Читать книгу Honey Bee Medicine for the Veterinary Practitioner - Группа авторов - Страница 11

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.

I was very fortunate in my life to have benefited from many dedicated and inspirational science teachers. I want to thank Tom Poulson, my ecology professor, for opening the world of insects to me. Dr. Erv Small helped me launch a long and rewarding career in veterinary medicine. Thank you to all the caring and compassionate veterinarians I have had the privilege of working with over the years. The American Veterinary Medical Association and my colleagues on the Committee for Environmental Issues have been very supportive of our honey bee projects. Thank you to Gina Luke for your early encouragement. To my flight instructors, particularly Don Solms, who kept me doing my own waggle dancing in the sky. To all my beekeeping mentors and friends, a most sincere thank you for your wisdom. My love and appreciation to my ever‐supportive funny family and friends. My sons and Tom Kane are always in my heart.

I would like to thank my colleagues at the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine and Washington State University for their patience and encouragement during this project. I owe great thanks and love to my friends and family who have put up with this bee craziness for quite a while. Love to my mom, Paula Anderson, who encouraged writing from when I was old enough to hold a pencil and to Jerry Anderson and DuWayne Marshall for being there when I needed them. And to my patient and resourceful spouse Randy Faux, who still buys me bee equipment for Christmas.
