Foulbrood Menace
 To Honey Industry
Beekeepers Urged By Officials To Check Hives Before
 Closing Them For Winter r-Instructons Given

Beekeepers, who are closing their hives for the winter, are urged to first examine them carefully for signs of foulbrood. Roy Stadel, of the Connecticut Agricultural Experi- ment Station at New Haven, who is state bee inspector for Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex and New London countries, points out that the har- boring of this and other diseases often results in hive of dead bees by spring.
 American foulbrood is one of the most serious troubles affecting honey production. It is caused by 6 specific germ which is taken into the bodies of very young larvae along with their food. As the or- ganism is not visible to the naked eye, the beekeeper must watch for outward indications of the disease in his hives. AS one opens an in- fected hive, the most apparent Symp- tom is 8 quite distinctive odor, des- cribed as "glue-pot," which comes from the honey comb. A diseased comb has disclored caps which are sunken and perforated, in contrast to night-colored, dome-haped ones in healthy comb.
 Cleanliness is important in pre- venting the spread of foulbrood to other parts of the apiary, and to those of neighbors. The common carrier for the disease is honey.

Bacteria laden honey is spread by many different agencies, according to MT. Stadel. Tn cleaning or hand ling hives, the owner can pass the trouble to ohter colonies on tools or clothing. The bees themselves can bring 1t into the hive when they rob abandoned diseased colinieS, or when the young drift to the wrong hive. Honey from infected hives is not harmful to human beings. How ever, housewives are cautioned to wash out honey jars before they are thrown on the refues heap, as bees have been known to pick up the disease from this urlsuspected source.
 Once 8 colony is infected with foulbrood, the only alternative is to destroy 1t by burning. To date no chemicals are known which will render the disease organism in- active. Cyarogas can be used to kill the bees. Then the hive, with its contents, is placed in a pit two or three feet deep and burned. The pit Is then filled in and the ground left undisturbed for considerable period
 Three inspectors cover the state during the months of April to Octo- Der to check on registration and contamination of apiaries. Hives which are found to house foulbrood are marked by the inspector for destruction by the owner. Early de- tection of the disease usually pre- vents further spread, so bee owners should contact inspectors through the station for diagonsis of trouble and instructions for disposing of in- fected hives. The Connecticut State Entomologist Fortieth report states that 852 bee colonies were inspect ed in 1940. Of this number, 366, or about four percent, were diseased. This is not 8 large percentage and 1t is the aim of the inspectors to keep Connecticut bees as free from the disease as possible.
