European and American Foulbrood in Honey Bee Colonies: Part 2

Excellent commentary. Logically choreographed and well-delivered. Thanks!

Responding to Mike Lee's comment: Well, I guess I'm the unlucky one. I've been beekeeping less than a year and just got confirmation from the USDA bee lab that one of my hives has European Foulbrood. This video helped alert me to the problem and recognize the symptoms (I thought I had American Foulbrood). It's good to be educated about bee diseases -- you never know when you will need the information!

AFB- that must of scared the pants off. EFB is easily to deal with. I’ve only had EFB in a nuc that went thru a way too long winter. A brood frame of strong brood from a huge hive. The antibiotics worked quickly. I caused it by not treating it for mites like I did my other hives. I was on it. The hive is right by my back doorstep so she was more like a pet. Her sugar rolls showed zero mites but when treated the dead mites were everywhere .

Honestly how often are you going to see this in a hive, if a beekeeper is unlucky he may only see this once in his life time, this is very rare for anyone to get it.

So if you have AFB in one hive and not in another hive nearby, would you have to get rid of both hives, because of the proximity?

[@rosemarymckinney103]

Does it help lessen chance of disease to wash old frames in bleach water before adding new foundation?

Nice videos.

@threefoldutopia No, generally only the ones with a clear diagnosis of AFB are destroyed.
