queen is not with them they will all return to the old hive. Set the old hive up- 

 right on its hottom board just to one side of the new hive and let it stand there for 

 two weeJis until nearly all the brood is hatched, then transfer the bees from it again 

 into the new hive. At that time the old combs can be taken out and melted down 

 into beeswax. 



Disposing of Bees or Appliances. 



Section 5 puts a heavy penalty on disposing of diseased bees or appliances in 

 any way, and, according to Section 6, persons whose bees have been treated or 

 destroyed for disease shall not dispose of any bees or appliances whatever without 

 permission from the inspector, or expose in the apiary or elsewhere any infected 

 material or honey on penalty of fine or imprisonment. 



Information Concerning Location of Disease. 



Sections 7, 8 and 9 give inspectors power to act. Section 10 requires every 

 person who is aware of the existence of foul brood to report the same to the Minis- 

 ter of Agriculture, and Section 11 requires the inspectors to report on all their work 

 to the same authority.

From the reports of the inspectors of apiaries of recent years, we find that 

 American Foul Brood is prevalent in the following townships. This does not mean 

 that townships not mentioned in this list are guaranteed to be free from this 

 disease, because the apiaries of Ontario have not all been inspected as yet:
