> Some of our bee-keepers have been puzzled by the condition known as "bald-headed brood." This has sometimes been mistaken for pickled brood, or Sacbrood. On close examination, however, dead larvae will rarely ever be found, and the brood seems to ma ture about like the sealed brood. It will be found usually in patches of several cells, which have been drawn out a little longer than the rest, and the pupae left unsealed. I have seen in cue case as much as twenty-five per cent of the brood left "bald-headed." It is not clear what causes this condition. However, I would recommend requeening and better ventilation.
