Missouri Agricultural Report. 



The European type of Foul Brood, in many respects resembles the 

 American, but the tendency to ropiness is not so pronounced, and the 

 dried down scale does not stick so tenaciously to the cell wall. A larger 

 per cent, of the larvae will remain unsealed. The odor is quite different, 

 being more like soured dead brood. 



The most satisfactory method of treatment is the McEvoy plan of 

 brushing the bees into clean hives and allowing them to l)uild a new set 

 of combs. 



For more complete descriptions of bee disease and printed instruc- 

 tions for treatment, apply to the inspector. 



I had expected to give at this time the results, of some experiments 

 in feeding, but I find it necessary to watch results a little longer. 



Respectfully submitted, 



M. E. DARBY, 



Apiary Inspector.
