DADANT SYSTEM OP BEEKEEPING 111 



But let us give one warning: Do not feed to your bees unknown 

 honey, no matter how fine it may be. There is no doubt that 

 honey may be entirely healthy for human beings and yet contain 

 enough of the bacilli of foulbrood to contaminate any colony 

 to which it is fed. Pay no attention to the men who tell you that 

 sugar is not good for bees. If you have to feed the bees and have 

 none of the honey of your own production, better give them 

 syrup made of the very best sugar. There will be no danger of 

 disease
