DISEASES OF BEES IIL 
of an affected comb is something akin to 
that presented by foul brood. Whenever 
a hive contains any quantity of chilled brood, 
the bees should be given to another hive, and 
the queen, together with the combs, destroyed, 
unless the hive be a very strong one. In 
such a case the worst half of the combs can 
be removed and their space filled with a 
dummy. 
If new combs are added it will generally 
be found that it is merely to afford facilities 
to the spreading of the evil. It is useless to 
add bees to an affected hive, for they will 
immediately fly away from the danger zone.
