FOURTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



all over again; or I might reply that 

 my experience as given in "My Fifty 

 Years Among the Bees" would give him 

 the information asked. I would rather 

 make him a present of that book than 

 to undertake to reply to this letter." 



This man has evidently skipped, in 

 reading, everything printed about Foul 

 Brood — until the disease struck him; 

 bee-keepers should advise themselves 

 in advance and be prepared if ^ the dis- 

 ease appears.

Mr. Kildow — I will give you my re- 

 port. This runs back to December 1st. 

 In April we visited 346 colonies; found 

 12 diseased; 7 of them with American 

 Foul Brood; treated 4 colonies. 



In May we inspected 1,188 colonies; 

 visited 22 apiaries; found 14 diseased 

 with American Foul Brood; four with. 

 European Foul Brood. 



The same month the deputies visited 

 284 colonies; 39 apiaries — found 19 dis- 

 eased; 13 with American Foul Brood, 

 six with European Foul Brood, and 

 treated one colony. 



In June I visited 790 colonies — 22 

 apiaries; found seven diseased; four 

 with American Foul Brood, three with 

 European, and destroyed six colonies. 

 The same month the deputies visited 

 1,846 colonies in 180 apiaries; found 51 

 apiaries diseased; 29 with American 



Foul Brood, 37 with European, and 

 treated 17 colonies. 



In July the Inspector visited 1,121 

 colonies in 43 apiaries; 14 being dis- 

 eased; found 10 having American Foul 

 Brood and four European Foul Brood. 

 The deputies the same month inspected 

 2,116 colonies, 217 apiaries; found 71 

 apiaries diseased, 34 with American and 

 41 with European Foul Brood. There 

 were 23 colonies treated that month. 

 The deputies in some of these apiaries 

 treated the colonies more than once to 

 show the bee-keeper how to treat them. 



In August I inspected 1,747 colonies 

 in 38 apiaries; found 11 apiaries dis- 

 eased and seven having American Foul 

 Brood and 4 European. The deputies 

 the same month inspected 2,246; colonies 

 in 164 apiaries; found 43 diseased, 20 

 with American and 26 with European
