American Foulbrood is th^ most, serious disease of bees in Wis- 

 consin. It Is a bacterial disease carried in the honey and in old combs. 

 Getting rid of infected honey and combs means the eradication of the 

 disease. Pages 3-10 



Extracting frames should not be saved. Although they may appear 

 to be free of honey, there is always a possibility of a few drops of 

 infected honey being carried over. Page 11 



Scorching hive parts does not insure complete disinfection. Drops 

 of honey may be left behind the rabbets or smeared on the outside 

 of the hive although the hive may be carefully scorched on the inside.

Treating for Foulbrood must be carefully done to insure success. 

 Careless handling of diseased colonies is sure to spread infection.
