On page 301, of the American Bee Journal for Sept. 7, 1893, a request was published to send me specimens of foul brood for microscopical examina- tion ; this request was made by Mrs. Jennie Atchley, whose desire it was to have the subject thoroughly investi- gated, trusting to me, entirely, the course to be pursued. This was the means of furnishing me with specimens of foul brood from sev- eral sources, from which I have made more than one hundred cultures. For the benefit of bacteriologists, I will state that the culture media employed were potato, gelatine on plates and in tubes, and stab cultures in agar-agar. Proposition I.—That the queen does deposit eggs in cells containing the dark, coffee-colored dried mass, resulting from the drying of the viscid, ropy remains of foul brood, which, though tougher than the wax, yet easily dissolved in water, contains the germs of foul brood with sufficient vitality to produce the disease. Proposition II.—That honey is stored by the bees in these foul brood cells, and sometimes capped, thereby retaining the germs of foul brood as long as the comb lasts; that the honey in these cells is not detrimental to the vitality of either the spores or baelili which are produc- tive of the disease, and that in such cells the spores and bacilli are found sus- pended in the honey still retaining their vita
