latter being sometimes called Black Brood), and Sac or Pickled 

 Brood. The term "foul" as applied to brood disease was given on 

 account of the odor emanating from the dead brood. The larvae 

 die in the cells and turn brown or black. The colony becomes 

 depleted in numbers and unless treatment is prompt and thorough 

 the disease will spread through and destroy the whole apiary. There 

 has recently appeared a trouble among adult bees called "paralysis," 

 in which the bees are unable to fly. Little is yet known about it. 



In case of trouble or suspected disease, bee-keepers are requested 

 to write to the Entomological Department, State Board of Agricul- 

 ture, State House, Providence, R. I., and the Apiary Inspector will 

 render such aid as may be necessary.
