Hi all
I meant to include this paragraph:

Combs Smeared with Dysentery Stains 

Combs in a hive where the bees have died from dysentery will often be so badly stained and so ill smelling that a beginner is apt to think that they are ruined. Combs taken out of the hive in cold weather, and stained with dysentery, may be given to strong colonies in late spring or summer to clean up. There is no danger in hiving swarms in hives where colonies have died with dysentery during the previous winter. They will quickly clean up and use the stores that are left.
