In the treatment of this condition
the following plan should be adopt
ed, says Farmers Bulletin.
In the honey season, when the
bees are gathering freely. remove
the combs in the evening. and shake
the bees into their own hives. give
them frames with comb foundation
starters and let them build comb for
four days. The bees Will make the
starters into comb during the four
days and store the diseased honey in
them, which they took with them
from The old comb Then In the
evening OF the fourth day take out
The new combs and give them comb
foundations to work out, and then
The cure will be complete, by this
method of treatment all the diseased

brood combs must be burned or

moved from the hives, and all the

eat the spores" or seeds, and de-
posit them elsewhere. In this
