Hi All.
Had our bee meeting last nite. One of our members, in Kentucky, also keeps
hives in Ohio. Said the Inspector in Ohio called him and asked to get the
word out. Ohio has had MAJOR losses this summer from American Foulbrood.
I don't know what major means, but he asked me to post this for him. The
inspector advises that everyone carefully check their hives. And (sorry
to those that this offends) to use the terramycin as recommended.
Sorry this information is second or even third hand.
By the way, we had a wonderful meeting. Talked about a lot of the
information shared here this past month. Thanks. Got two new members, one
of which is 9 years old. He got interested in bees because there was
nothing else to do at 4H camp. He ended up attending 2 exactly the same
sessions every day he was at camp. Our club is going to help him get a
hive started and try to get it recognized for showing. Don't know how it
will turn out. But how absolutely refreshing to see his face and his
excitement.
Judy in Kentucky, USA
