Chalkbrood is something that is very easy to breed out of a stock.  It can be br
ought to a very
low level where it does not bother.  Resistance to chalkbrood varies very quite
a bit between
different stocks.  I think that this type of resistance is different from hygien
ic behaviour.
With resistant stock you don't see mummies in the brood frames, you don't find t
hem on the bottom
boards or in the pollen traps and the brood is solid and homogeneous showing tha
t larvae have not
been removed.
