GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



TREATING AMER- 

 ICAN FOUL 

 BROOD 



" A Movie Scenario " 



BY BENJAMIN WALLACE 

 DOUGLASS 



Each frame in the 

 hive should be carefully 

 inspected for foul 

 brood. 



If the frame is held 

 upside down it is very 

 easy to detect the pres- 

 ence of the American 

 foul-brood " scales " on 

 the side of the cells. 



When foul brood 

 has been found, the 

 beekeeper should at 

 once make prepara- 

 tions to treat the dis- 

 ease. 



A new hive is pro- 

 vided with starters of 

 foundation. A wash- 

 boiler of water is also 

 near at hand.
