EXAMINATIONS OF SAIMPLES OF DISEASED BROOD. 



The Bureau of Entomology is prepared to assist in the diagnosis of 

 disease in cases where the bee keeper is unable to tell whether or not 

 disease is present or to determine which disease is in his apiary. Sam- 

 ples of brood comb about 5 inches square containing diseased or dead 

 larvae should be sent by mail in a strong- wooden or tin box. The 

 comb should not be wrapped in paper or cotton, but should be cut to 

 fit the box closely. It is not possible to diagnose from empty combs, 

 and no honey should be included in the sample, as it is valueless in 

 diagnosis and will probably spoil the sample as well as other mail mat- 

 ter. The name of the sender must always appear on the package, and 

 any available data should be sent in a separate letter. Never inclose 

 a letter in the box with the sample. 



During the summer of 1911 the bureau will on request* send boxes 

 in which samples may be mailed to bee keepers in counties not listed 

 as containing disease.
