The Permanent Cure. 
NUMEROUS COLONIES SAVED. 
Since this disease first appeared S.S. has on no 
. . m occasion offered his widely recognised remedy as 
a cure, without at the same time insisting upon 
the great necessity of recuperative measures being adopted in 
combination. 
NO WINTER LOSSES need occur where stocks are fed up-in 
Autumn with B-well in warm syrup, with a vigorous young queen 
added; (2 teaspoonsful B-well to 8lb. sugar). 
FEED AGAIN EARLY.—From end of February feed slowly 
with B-well in syrup (2 teaspoons to 1olb. sugar, and one-fifth more 
water than usual), Remove, or cover dead bees with chloride of lime. 
o 
INITIAL (SLIGHT) STAGE.—Spray over combs and bees 
when mild, closing entrance with perfoyated zinc for an hour. (No 
discolored or bloated bees in this case.) Two teaspoons to one pint 
warm water. 
FINAL (FATAL) STAGE.—This condition, with bees black 
and hairless, dying rapidly, can be checked by rapid feeding as above, 
and finally cured by changing to young and vigorous queens. 
EMPTY HIVES DRESSED WITH IZAL.—In serious cases 
the bees should be shifted to a hive previously dressed with Izal—one 
part to two parts water. Leave no excess of moisture. Close bees in 
with perforated zinc for 24 hours, liberating at dusk. If warm shade 
entrance meanwhile; if cold, leave in warm room 24 hours, Entrance 
according to strength of colony. (Prepared dressing, 1/6 quart tin.) 
QUILTS REMOVED.—Corroded quilts should be burned and 
clean ones returned soaked in B-well—two teaspoons to one pint water. 
SMALL ENTRANCES are fatal; but do not expose a wide 
entrance to direct winds. 
WINTER FEEDING is only possible in extreme cases by 
inverting jam jar with hot syrup (and B-well) over the cluster, close on 
the bare frames. Cover up to ensure it being taken while warm. 
NO APIARY OR STOCK LOST.—Where above directions are 
followed, and neither black nor dark hybrid bees are retained, no apiary 
and no stock need ever be lost. Numerous rapid recoveries where 
Simmins” Queens have been used.
