brood germ. It is not definitely
known how it spreads but is believed
to be carried by the nurse and house
cleaning bees.
L This disease attacks the larvae
when they are about four or five days
old and they generally die before
being capped over. The affected lar
vac first turns a water white, after
losing its healthy creamy appearance
then changes from a yellow to a dark
brown. The larvae when attacked are
curled up in the bottom of the cells,
thus the scales will usually be in the
same position. AS the larvae dries
up into scale the tracheal or breath
ing tubes of the bees become promi-
nent, forming white demarkations
giving the larvae segmented ap-
pearance. The scales are loose and
are easily taken from the cell-due
to this fact strong colony can us
iually handle this disease without as
sistance. The disease spreads rapidly,
at times taking entire apiaries in one
season. Like the American, it does
not attack the adult bee. The Italian
bee seems to be more resistant than
the black bee. so it is advisable to
requiem all black colonies with good
Italian queens.
