foulbrood. It does not follow that because a beekeeper is troubled 

 with European foulbrood he is a poor beekeeper, for he may have 

 had good results before the disease appeared. With the entrance of 

 the disease, however, he can change his system so as to overcome 

 the trouble and he may do this with assurance that the changes are 

 such as to result in good beekeeping. Unlike American foulbrood, 

 the disease does not make it necessary that anything of value be de- 

 stroyed by the beekeeper, and if the proper system of management 

 for the particular locality can be found it will result, in most circum- 

 stances, in larger crops than are usually obtained.
