DISEASES OF BEES. 



Since we liave a department of bee-keeping in tte 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 humain 

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

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

 rendered from diseased comb is also safe.
