When this disease lias visited a district, its eradication is extremely difficult. The germs being scattered far and wide, it is not wonderful that we frequently hear of the disease breaking out again, more especially if we bear in mind, than any one germ, under favourable con- ditions in a hive, can grow and multiply at such a rate as very soon to completely destroy it. Those who have had foul brood in their hives during the past season, we would recommend them to be on their guard, and take such measures aswill ensure the disease not breaking out again. It is generally in spring that foul brood first shows itself, and then much more difficult to recognise. This is why so many allow it to get to a more advanced stage before they are really aware that they have it in their (J fcT* t t mmsi hives. When foul brood is tolerably advanced it is easily recognised, as the caps of the sealed brood appear pierced or partly removed, as seen in illustration, and the cells contain a putrid, sticky, coffee-coloured substance, which is all that remains of the sealed larva?. If the head of a pin be inserted into this substance, it can be drawn out into long threads, and in this respect it differs from chilled brood, in which the remains of the decayed larvae are watery and not tenacious. Frequently foul-brood may be recognised even without opening a hive. Numbers of bees will be seen at the hive entrance vigorously fanning, and at the same time the air dra
