DISEASES OF BEES. 



Since we have a department of bee-keeping in the Bureau 

 of Entomology in Washington, we urge every beekeeper who 

 finds disease in the brood to send an enquiry, mentioning the 

 fact, to this Bureau, and explicit instructions and directions 

 will be sent him. 



Honey from diseased colonies is absolutely harmless to human 

 beings. If it is heated to the boiling pomt of water for a few 

 minutes, it Tvill be safe also to feed the bees. The beeswax 

 rendered from diseased comb is also safe.
