THE BEE DISEASE
PROBLEM
It would be no exaggeration to say
that the brood diseases of bees have
been responsible for more losses to
the beekeepers of Canada than all
other causes of loss combined, for not
only are crops reduced and bees lost,
but large quantities of valuable equip-
ment have , been destroyed in an at -
attempt to eradicate them. Of the
three brood diseases known to exist
in Canada, two of them, European
Foul Brood and Sacbrood need not
cause the beekeeper any alarm, for
they can be fairly well controlled by
good beekeeping practices, e.g., strong
colonies headed with young vigorous
queens of good Italian stock, and a
plentiful supply of food at all times.
Amorigan foul brood, however, is a
thing that should be destroyed as soon
as it is discovered, for one infected
colony is a possible source of infec-
tion for every other colony in the
district. It is not an indication of
poer beekeeping to suddenly discover
American Foul Brood in an apiary,
for the infection may be duo to some
careless or unscrupulous beekeeper
nearby. It would be a poor policy,
however, not to organize an imme-
diate clean up of the district. A col,
opy once infected is doomed and is a
menace to every other colony within
a radius of two to three miles. As
the infected colony becomes weaker
it falls a prey to robbing bees and
the disease may be carried far and
wide, and the beekeeper himself may
unwittingly spread it from colony to
colony as he performs„his usual man-
ipulations. Healthy brood lies curled
up in the base of the cell and is pear-
ly white in colour. The cappings ov-
er healthy brood are slightly raised,
intact, and of the same colour as the
surrounding comb. Conditions other
than these should be immediately in-
vestigated and beekeepers are invited
to send samples of abnormal brood to
to the Bee Division; Central Experi-
mental Farm, Ottawa for an examina-
tion. Each province has its own bee
disease regulations, and every bee..
keeper is advised to write their Pro-
vincial
rovincial Apiarist for a copy of these
regulations. Never buy bees inhives
or second hard supplies-mnless sure
that the apiary from whichthey come
is free of disease, and never feed
honey from an unknown source to
liees.—C. 13. Gooderham, Dominion:
Apiarist.'
