The United States Department of
Agriculture, in a statement issued
last week warned beekeepers of the
appearance of a new pest of bees in
Carroll County, Maryland, which, it
has been reported to the department,
has been found in considerable num-
bers in this section of Maryland, and
in other parts of the United States.
1t is the opinion of the department
that the pest was imported from
Europe with queen bees, and while
it is not, so far, to be regarded as a
menace, beekeepers will do we'll to
take steps to eradicate it from their
colonies and discarded" the depart
ment says. The pest, known as
Braula, is not true parasite, accord
ing to the Bureau of Entomology, but
it is capable of weakening a bee col
ony by taking its food and by tor
menting the queen bee. 1t lives on
honey carried by the bees, not on their
blood, as was at one time supposed
1t is found singly on the workers,
and in numbers on the queen bee
bat seldom on drones.
