SUMMARY TO PART I. 



The results of the study of the bacteria found normally in the 

 apiary may be briefly summarized as follows : 



(1) The temperature of the hive approximates that of warm- 

 blooded animals. 



(2) Upon adult bees and upon the comb there occurs quite con- 

 stantly a species of bacteria which we refer to in this pajDcr as 

 Bacillus x4, and which, it is believed, is the organism that some 

 workers have confused with Bacillus alvei, the cause of European 

 foul brood (p. 33). 



(3) There occurs very constantly in the pollen and intestine of 

 adult bees a species here referred to as Bacillus B. 



(4) From the combs Bacterium cyaneus, Saccharomyces roseus^ 

 and a Micrococcus referred to here as Micrococcus C, have been iso- 

 lated and studied. 



(5) Honey from a healthy hive is, as a rule, sterile. 



(6) The normal larva? are, as a rule, sterile. 



(7) There is an anaerobe found quite constantly in the intestine of 

 the healthy honey bee. It is referred to in this paper as Bacterium D. 



(8) From the intestine there have been isolated and studied the 

 following micro-organisms: Bacillus cloaca'^ Bacillus coli communis, 

 Bacillus cholerfp suis, Bacillus suhgastricus. Bacterium, mycoides, 

 Pseudomonas -fluorescens liquefaciens, and two referred to as Bacillus 

 E, and Saccharomyces F. Others less frequently present have been 

 isolated, but not studied. 



(9) In two samples of brood with unknown disease there was 

 found a species of yeast plant here referred to as Saccharomyces G.
