Synopsis

Bees Against European Foulbrood explains how strong colonies and clean, careful management can limit the spread of a deadly bee disease.

This book surveys the science and practical experience behind European foulbrood, with a focus on how colony strength, stock choice, and timely actions influence outcomes. It describes early findings, experiments, and observations that link Italian bees and vigorous house-cleaning to better disease control, and it discusses the role of queen management, brood patterns, and honey flows in keeping colonies healthy.

  • How strong colonies help bees resist and recover from infection
  • The impact of Italian stock versus hybrids on disease spread
  • The practical steps of requeening, queenlessness periods, and colony strengthening
  • Observations on nurse-bee behavior and the timing of cleaning and removal of diseased brood
Ideal for beekeepers, students, and readers seeking a practical, historically grounded view of disease management in apiaries.
