Abstract
The reviewed book “Bienenweide” (“Bee pastures”) is a compendium of knowledge on honey bee plants. Its advantage is its rich photographic documentation in the form of excellently reproduced colourful photographs and tabulated data which are easily accessible for the reader. It can be a valuable scientific resource for researchers involved in evaluation of the apicultural value of both crop plants and plants found in natural plant communities. This book can also provide valuable information to practi-cing beekeepers interested in species selection designed to expand food resources for the honey bee and other pollinators. It can also be re-commended as the literature of the subject to university students in the fields of agriculture and horticulture.
