Depending on the severity of the infection your choices are:
1 destruction of colony
2 Shook swarm into clean equipment
Followed by oxytet treatment this reduces the bacterial count and the wipes out any bacteria which was transferred on the adult bees,
The disease is stress related so feed the colony after the operation.
