affected most of my colonies one season, 

 and to a less extent the next; it cured or 

 disappeared of itself. Various remedies I 

 tried did not seem to help matters any. I 

 don't know the location: the effect is to 

 weaken a colony. I don't know the cause. 



G. W. Demaree — There has never been a 

 case of "foul brood" (so-called) in central 

 or northern Kentucky, except a few cases 

 near Cincinnati. O., on the Kentucky side 

 of the Ohio River, and therefore I have 

 never seen a case of " foul brood.'' 



Dr. A. B. Mason— 1. The "effect of foul 

 brood " is to depopulate the colony if badly 

 affected. There is but one cause, and that 

 is contagion, and the foul brood is located 

 in the brood, and is caused by foul-broody 

 honey. 2. I don't know anything about it. 



J. E. Pond — 2. I don't know anything 

 about pickled brood. 1. As to foul brood, 

 it has been so fully described in works OD 

 apiculture and the bee-papers of the day, 

 that I advise the study of the subject from 

 them. It would require too much space to 

 give an intelligent answer here. 



Rev. M. Mahin— 1. Foul brood is hratril 

 in the brood-nest of a bee hive, and among 

 the brood. The effect of it is to kill the 

 brood and ruin the colony. There is only 

 one cause — contagion. 2. I do not know 

 anything about pickled brood, hut I know 

 more about foul brood than I want to. 



P. H. Elwood— 1. The immediate cause is 

 the bacillus peculiar to the disease. Any 

 weakness or filth, I suppose, renders bees 

 less able to throw off or resist the disease. 

 Dead brood without the bacillus present 

 does not cause it. 2. Pickled brood in its 

 earlier stages resembles foul brood. Later 

 it lacks the ropiness and characteristic odor 

 of foul brood. One will never run into the 

 other. Pickled brood is sour; foul brood is 

 not. 



Mrs. A. J. Barber — 1. Location — where- 

 ever bees have had access to foul-broody 

 combs or honey. Its effect is to destroy 

 the brood, thus raining the colony. I have 

 handled a great many cases of foul brood, 

 and have come to believe that it is always 

 caused by bees having infected combs or 

 honey given them, or by robbing such 

 combs or honey. In short, it takes foul 

 brood to start foul brood. 2. I have had no 

 experience with pickled brood. 



E S. Lovesy — 1. It is a disease of the 

 brood. The living bees are not affected by 

 the disease, but when they come in contact 

 with it they can carry it on their bodies 

 and introduce it to the larva» of any hive 

 they may enter. The effect is, if it is not 

 cured it will cause the destruction of the 

 colony. Under certain conditions the cause 

 is sometimes thru foul or rotten brood. 2. 

 Pickled brood with us floats in the atmos- 

 phere like typhoid fever; when it is preva- 

 lent it may strike aijy locality. Here in 

 Utah, as a rule, a handful of equal parts 

 of salt and sulphur sprinkled over the 

 brood, from one to three dressings, will 

 cure this disease.

Did Only Fairly Well. 



Bees did only fairly well this year— 50 to 

 80 pounds of comb honey per colony, for 

 good colonies: in old-fashioned "gums," 

 only to 15 pounds per colony.

We have had a pleasant summer so tar, 

 and had it been a wet season the crop of 

 honey would have been immense, for the 

 weather was just right for nectar-secre-
