> reports going back to Phillips, who recommended buying diseased equipment since it is so cheap and then curing it with drugs (sulfa at that time)
I was in agreement with you up to that point. I think you must have someone else in mind because Phillips died in 1951, at the beginning of the sulfa era. Could have been J. E. Eckert, though.
ECKERT,J.E. 1947 Use of sulfa drugs in treatment of American foulbrood disease of honeybees. J. Econ. Entomol., 40,41-44.
ECKERT,J.E. 1948 The use of sodium sulfathiazole in the treatment of American foulbrood disease of honey bees. J. Econ. Entomol., 41,491-494.
