Foal<BroDil. * Wh%t is erronooqsly cailod-foul brood Is a dlssass which attacks notonly-the brood (sealed1and unsealed), blit also the full-grown bees, and even the quoen is sometimes affected by lt.5 It Is us­ ually said that "you will always find thto cells sunken, .and a small hoi* the size ot a pin head in the center of tho comb looking brown and bad;" that tho "foul stench arising from the diseased colony" will indicate the disease, but there are so many different shades and kinds of the disease that those are not tho only indications. Sometimes brood, which to all appearance is sound and healthy, upon'cloaer inspection will reveal the dlsoaso which has not yot at­ tained the conditionof sickening stench which is found in brood thoroughly ropy and rotten. When it has reached the latter condition, tho only remedy we advlso is to utterly consume boos, hives and honey. In milder forms of tho disease, pure phenol is no doubt tho host remedy. One drop to five hundred drops of tho sirup is thcrrformula recommended by Mr. Cheshire, as will be seen by the fol­ lowing from bla pamphlet: t" "I found that 1-200 (that is ono part pure phenol to two hundred parts o f sirup) was rofused by the bees altogeth­ er; that 1-400might be givon constantly to a sound colony without appearing to limit tho queen in breeding or touch her health; the 1-750 dispatched foul brood Quickly, even whilo honey was' coming in; and that 1-500 appeared enough when it was not I established these quantities as tne correct ones.” Moderate quantities are therefore not injurious,—American Boo Journal.
