I've volunteered to take care of an observation hive at a local
nature center. It's a 3 frame unit and it has chalkbrood.
What is the best course of corrective action? Should I requeen it
with a resitant race of bees? Would a Minnesota Hygienic queen be
the way to go?
My hives have never shown chalkbrood; I may have resistant bees or my
hives have never been exposed to the fungus. I believe an
observation hive is a better environment for the fungus to thrive,
too.
Thank you.
