[10320] From the con-espondencey re- cently published on the subject of " ; and other crawling diseases, it Avould appear that these complaints have again - become very prevalent in this country. As in many districts, the honey flow has failed and starvation will pro- bably result, the prospects of successfiil wintering are very black, and many good results of the re-stocking schemes will be nullified. Many alleged cures for "; disease have been brought forward, but considerable scepticism should be shown in accepting these, until it has been proved, by careful experiment and micro- scopical examination, that those cases in which cures are claimed are cases of ti'ue "; disease, and also that the so- called cures would not have occurred with- out any treatment whatever. In many cases under observation, where severe crawliner symptoms were noted together with dislocated wings and other symptoms, the stocks have recovered with out any medical treatment. Other cases have been fed with syrun containing one of the advertised antiseptics, but no anpreciable difference was noted between these and the rases in which plain sugar syrup-was .used. Though the use of nntiseptics will pro- bably have good results as a preventive measure, there is. so fnr as can be seen, no evidence to show that these are of value in the ciiring of bees already attacked by disease.
