There are numerious pests, pathogens and predators who affect the health of honey bee colonies and further may cause economic loss. Therefore it is important for beekeepers to know about existing threats and how to treat a possible infestation. In the following chapter, an assessment on honey bee health status, major pests and predators and local treatment methods was conducted. Summarized, there is a wide variety of pests an pathogens that affect honey bee health in Ethiopia and Indonesia. They range from viruses, protozoa, bacteria, fungi and insecta to mites and mammals. In general, the research indicated that beekeepers in both countries underestimate the risk of honey bee diseases and that treatment methods, that are commonly used in the western world are unknown in Ethiopia and/or Indonesia. It is necessary to work on education dissemination to enlarge the understanding of honey bee biology and further increase the income.
