The Treatment of  Bee Diseases (open access)

The Treatment of Bee Diseases

"The diseases which attack the honey bee may be divided into two classes, namely, those affecting the brood and those to which the adult bees are subject.

The aim of this bulletin is to give information that can be used by the practical beekeeper in combating bee diseases." -- p. 5
