"I have a pail of water with half a cup of bleach in it. do you think it may be enough to kill the foulbrood
bacteria?"
Should do a fine job on live bacteria, either EFB or AFB. I would be amazed if such dilute bleach killed many AFB spores. Spores are really tough to kill. Bleach is not going to get to spores buried in a bit of wax or propolis at all. Even things like ethylene oxide, which is a lot more lethal than bleach, are not very good at killing AFB spores buried in wax according to ABC XYZ.
