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.

In the present bulletin, therefore, only a brief statement concerning these diseases will be made, mainly for the purpose of indicating the present state of knowledge on these subjects. Concerning the diseases of the brood more is known, and this is particularly fortunate since they are far more destructive in American apiaries than are the diseases of the adult bees.... The aim of this bulletin is to give information that can be used by the practical beekeeper in combating bee diseases." -- p. 5
