AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



easy question for me to answer, as I 

 T^Duld sooner rid a colony of bees of the 

 disease than to transfer a colony of bees 

 from an old box-hive to a movable frame 

 hive by the method of taking the box 

 apart and tying the combs in the frames, 

 etc. The reason I do not give my 

 method of curing foul brood in this arti- 

 cle, will be given in my next article on 

 that subject, which will soon follow, but 

 I will say, however, to those who have 

 my method of treatment, to follow it, 

 and not be misled by Mr. Evoy's article 

 or method 



I have his method in Bulletin No. 38, 

 of the Department of Agriculture, and 

 dated Toronto, July 15, 1890, which 

 method I happened to try while experi- 

 menting with the disease, which was 

 precisely the same except that I used no 

 comb foundation, and instead of leaving 

 the bees four days I left them six days ; 

 still the colony became diseased again 

 soon after ; but I am happy to say that 

 that colony of bees and method of treat- 

 ment led me on to the discovery of my 

 method, in which I have never failed to 

 cure the disease.
