<< I just recently read a book in which the author used a product in the hive
called sodium sulfathiazole. He used it in the fall and spring along with
other antibiotics. I have never heard anyone on this list talk about this
product.
What is it and what is the purpose? >>
It was used prior to terramycin for american foulbrood prevention and
control, but is much more lasting, and is now illegal to use. If I recall
correctly, it was legally used in Canada a little longer, and some loads of
imported honey were rejected because of sulfa contamination in the honey.
Don't use it.
