Bee Disease in California. For several years bees in California have been suffering 
from a malady apparently coincident in time with the blossoming of the California 
buckeye, Aesculus californica. Beekeepers generally are blaming buckeye for the 
trouble. The condition is spoken of as “buckeye poisoning.” The malady kills the 
field bees first, then the brood is affected. Much brood evidently dies and is pulled 
from the cells. The young emerging bees are badly deformed and unable to fly. 
Finally the bees try to supersede the old queen. The resultant young queen is 
worthless, seldom ever getting mated. Thousands of colonies are lost annually. 
Investigational work has been started by the University of California to definitely 
determine the cause. It is hoped that a remedy will be found.
