Sulphonamides and American Foul Brood Disease of Bees

Abstract

AN editorial note in a recent issue of Gleanings in Bee Culture (72, 493; 1944) reports on the use of sulphathiazole in the treatment of American foul brood disease of bees by Prof. Haseman, University of Missouri, Columbia. Sugar syrup containing sulphathiazole fed to the bees enabled them to raise healthy brood in combs containing the scales of larvæ which had died of the disease.
