The unit is available to beekeepers for a fee to cover costs and will travel throughout the Beehive equipment fumigation unit. The unit is a prototype machine designed by Alberta Agriculture's engineering and home design branch. Initial tests conducted last spring indicate that ethylene oxide (ETO) fumigation with this unit is effective in reducing both American and European foul brood. The best results were achieved when ETO was used in conjunction with terramycine. Only limited information is available on beehive fumigation equipment using ETO and further testing will be required to determine optimum rates, times, temperature, pressure (cont'd! /dlbcrra AGRICULTURE inirotinnc niwioi<-»ri.
