Introduction Honey bee colony survival is a complex issue in light of many environmental stressors. Among those stressors, the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, is the most significant threat to the survival of Western honey bees, Apis mellifera, and beekeeping worldwide. This parasite shifted hosts from Eastern honey bees, Apis cerana, to A. mellifera, and since spread almost globally. As a result, wild and feral A. mellifera populations in Europe and North America have been decimated. Without adequate and timely mite control by beekeepers, an A. mellifera colony likely collapses within a year or two (Rosenkranz et al., 2010). Therefore, beekeepers rely on mite control (most often chemical treatments) that can have side effects on the bees, likely results in resistant mites and reduces chances for bees and mites to adapting to one another (Fries & Camazine, 2001).

This paper examined how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected those interested in honey bees and the outdoors. It was investigated whether being outdoors and/or beekeeping has been a benefit to mental health using personal stories, examples from research, beekeeping groups, communities and the health service. The increase in online beekeeping teaching resources has helped bring knowledge about bees to perhaps a wider audience than previously, but training to become a beekeeper does need a certain hands-on element with beehives in an apiary setting. This is not just in order to gain confidence in handling bees, but also to learn from other beekeepers, and to bond in a social context. Although it is clear from the personal contributions to this article that beekeeping has helped immensely during the time of the COVID-19 crisis, more scientific research is needed to quantify the actual wellbeing effects. However, watching bees feeding on the flowers in gardens and parks is without doubt a pleasurable activity, and can be done by everyone.

Anyone writing in English about bees will immediately encounter the question of whether to spell the common names as one word or two. Is it “honey bee” or “honeybee”? Is it “bumble bee” or “bumblebee”? It is easy to be confused because both spellings are frequently encountered. Bee World and Journal of Apicultural Research, like many other entomological journals, have clear rules for the common names of bees. It is “honey bee” not “honeybee,” and “bumble bee” not “bumblebee.” This follows the common names specified by the Entomological Society of America (2021a) in their database of over 2,000 common names of insects and related organisms. The list is well established and has grown considerably since it was first published in 1908. Names are reviewed by the Committee on the Common Names of Insects and voted on by the Governing Board (Entomological Society of America, 2021b). The common names follow a rule that was explained by Snodgrass (1956) in the preface to Anatomy of the Honey Bee:

Varroa Challenge Varroa destructor mites are parasites specific to honey bees Apis mellifera and A. ceranae and can be found both on adult bees and in cells where they feed and reproduce on developing brood. Varroa (Figure 1) began to parasitize colonies of Western honey bees, A. mellifera, in the mid-20th century. Despite all research and control efforts, it is still recognized as one of the major drivers of colony mortality today (Traynor et al., 2020). Even more damaging to bee health is the combination of Varroa and its vectored viruses (de Miranda & Genersch, 2010; Grozinger & Flenniken, 2019).
灭瓦螨是蜜蜂(Apis mellifera)和蜜蜂(A. ceranae)特有的寄生虫，既可以在成年蜜蜂身上发现，也可以在它们喂养和繁殖发育中的幼蜂的细胞中发现。瓦螨(图1)在20世纪中期开始寄生在西方蜜蜂(A. mellifera)的种群中。尽管进行了所有的研究和控制工作，但它仍然被认为是当今群体死亡的主要驱动因素之一(Traynor et al.， 2020)。对蜜蜂健康危害更大的是瓦螨及其媒介病毒的结合(de Miranda & Genersch, 2010;Grozinger & Flenniken, 2019)。

The Vision The BEEBOOK project arose from discussions at early COLOSS (Prevention of Honey Bee COlony LOSSes) meetings. The vision was, and still is, to develop a definitive inventory of standard techniques and methods in honey bee research to ensure that studies performed by different laborato-ries around the world would be directly comparable. The manual, titled the COLOSS BEEBOOK , was inspired by publications with similar purposes for Drosophila fruit fly research (Williams et al., 2012). The previous lack of standards had made, for example, establishing whether honey bee colony losses had indeed increased, or were greater in some countries than in others, exceptionally difficult. The BEEBOOK is not meant to standardize the research itself, but focusses solely on the methods for which standardization is useful to enable reproducibility as a corner-stone of science. The BEEBOOK is a tool for all who want to conduct research on honey bees. It has been written in such a way that those new to honey bee research can use it to begin studies in fields with which they may not be familiar. the select and a user-friendly The initial divided into
BEEBOOK项目起源于早期COLOSS(预防蜂群损失)会议的讨论。当时的愿景是，现在仍然是，开发一份关于蜜蜂研究标准技术和方法的明确清单，以确保世界各地不同实验室进行的研究可以直接进行比较。这本名为《COLOSS BEEBOOK》的手册的灵感来自于对果蝇研究具有类似目的的出版物(Williams et al.， 2012)。例如，以前缺乏标准使得确定蜂群的损失是否确实增加了，或者某些国家的损失是否比其他国家更大，变得异常困难。BEEBOOK并不是为了使研究本身标准化，而是只关注标准化的方法，这些方法有助于使可重复性成为科学的基石。BEEBOOK是所有想要进行蜜蜂研究的人的工具。它是以这样一种方式写的，那些刚开始研究蜜蜂的人可以用它来开始他们可能不熟悉的领域的研究。选择和用户友好初始分为
