First, where did you get foul brood? That 

 must be cured before your treatment will be 

 successful. No need to burn or destroy any 

 bees or hives to cure foul brood.

 much darker and of poor flavor. Hives and 

 supers, if scraped clean, are safe to use at 

 once. The infected combs, after brood in 

 them is hatched, should be melted by steam 

 or boiling water, not in a solar wax-extractor. 

 The wax is safe to make foundation from. 



Treat infected colonies at the beginning of
