Analysis of the development of beekeeping in the Pilsen region and its prospects
Roubalová, Monika ; Prášilová, Marie (advisor)
The thesis defines basic concepts of beekeeping and analyses the development of beekeeping in the Pilsner region. Individual parts describe the history of beekeeping, diseases of bees, production of honey and wax. One part is devoted to the evalution of honey prices per one kilogram for the period from 2004 to 2014 in the Pilsner region and this part us supplemented by statistical data with charts. In the last part, there will be summarized and evaluated the knowledge of the development of beekeeping and ist prospects in the Pilsner region.

Causes of colony losses
Suchomelová, Eliška ; Titěra, Dalibor (advisor) ; Kamler, Martin (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the causes of bee colonies losses. In the last years the number of dead bee colonies increased significantly. Especially in the years 2013 and 2014, which this paper deals with, losses were really alarming (on the nationwide average up to 30%).
The theoretical part of the paper firstly presents beekeeping in general. Then, the thesis deals mainly with diseases and parasites invading bee colonies. Lastly, the paper describes hygiene and good breeding practice, which helps to prevent diseases and which should be obvious to every beekeeper. The reason for this is the fact that by not following good breeding practice the beekeeper does not threaten not only his/her own breeding, but also the breeds of neighbouring beekeepers.
The aim of the thesis is to compare beekeepers practice with the help of the data collected in questionnaires. The questions concern the varroasis disease, which afflicts the beekeepers in this country most often and which is (according to the latest researches) one of the main causes of bee colonies losses. Fifteen beekeepers filled in the questionnaire. None of them (with one exception) had great losses of bee colonies. Eleven respondents noted losses within 10%. The greatest losses noted the beekeeper owning the highest number of bee colonies. The beekeepers admitted one serious mistake, not following the information leaflet of medical products, which may have decreased the effectiveness of treatment. None of the respondents had removed the sealed brood before fumigation and aerosol treatment was done. Therefore not all mites in the hive could have been exterminated.

Beekeping in Czech Republic
Kopecký, Jan ; Voříšek, Karel (advisor) ; Plachý, Vladimír (referee)
The purpose of my bachelor thesis is to compile the literature available to give an integrated summary of beekeeping in the Czech Republic and to describe the most serious illnesses of the bees. Such as bee the literature available American foulbrood end varroasis including brief processes how they can be healed or how to avoid them.
The importance of honeybee and its irreplaceable role in the ecosystem of our planet is described in the introduction of this thesis. It is mentioned that honeybee is often perceived only like a food source.
In the main part, the Czech beekeeping is divided according to the historical dating into a forest, collecting and rational beekeeping as well as into special type of beekeeping colled ,,brtnické''. Then there is a treatise on the formation and the importance of organizations associating Czech beekeepers through years. An additional part of the first half of the thesis is a summary of recently used hives, tools and also ways of unnatural bee´s feeding.
The second half of the main part is pursued to serious illnesses in the Czech Republic. This chapter is divided according to originators of illnesses on illnesses made by physical influences or unsuitable food, bacterial illnesses, fungous, viral and invasive illnesses. American foulbrood and illnesses caused by the mite Varroa destructor has the biggest importance because these illnesses make the biggest losses in the Czech Republic. Every illness has own characteristics, originator, clinical diagnostics and therapeutic possibilities.

Occurrence of bee brood plaque in South Bohemian region
ŠTURMOVÁ, Jana
In diploma thesis I dealt with American foulbrood infection. At first I was focusing on disease hazards of foulbrood and I was investigating the pathogenesis of the disease bacteria Paenibacillus larvae. Then I carried out analysis of slumgum by culture test in the laboratory. I watched the bacteria P. larvae under a microscope. Next, I followed outbreaks announced by Regional Veterinary Administration. I investigated procedures of the Regional Veterinary Administration in accordance with legislation and decree during detecting the disease of AFB on the habitats. At the end, I developed a list of proclaimed outbreaks in South Bohemia into graphs and chart for the period from 2006 to 2013. The only treatment against this disease so far is burning hives, including all equipment of apiary. That is why I pointed out the importance of reporting suspected outbreaks of American foulbrood, respecting the rules and precautions by beekeepers, and beekeepers should also breed only healthy and strong beehives. Only then the spread of American foulbrood can be prevented and the originator of American foulbrood, the P. larvae, which is very durable, can be suppressed.

Effect of \kur{Nosema apis} and \kur{Nosema ceranae} on colonyof bees
ANDERLOVÁ, Jana
The work is aimed at assessing the influence of Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae on the hive. The literature contains only a limited degree of information about Nosema disease, which caused by both protozoa, that?s why the main aim of this work is to gather all available technical information from various sources, to compare and evaluate them. The result of evaluating the information gathered then is how this disease affects bee behavior, which has implications for breeding bees. The content of this work is first the general characteristics of Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae, their distribution, reproduction and development. A description Nosema disease, such as preventive and disinfecting measures to prezent it and how you can treat already established disease. The findings described by ptrotozoa Nosema apis imply that this protozoa is explored in the vast majority. Nosema ceranae is a recently discovered species and its research is not yet complete. Finally, the thesis summarizes the most important effects of Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae on the hive. These factors include, fluctuating number of individuals in a hive, honey yields lower, in some cases death of the colony and it also changed the behavior of honey bees.
