get to every apiary at a time when tlie most favorable treatment can be 

 given. The ability acquired in learning to successfully treat foul brood 

 will make other problems of bee management easy of solution. 



It is a mistaken idea that it does not pay to treat one's own bees 

 unless all the neighbors do the same with theirs. The bee-keeper who 

 keeps his own apiary clean by treating foul brood whenever found will 

 harvest the most paying crops year after year. Foul brood is not a ter- 

 ror to the man who has experience in treating it.
