Enjoy a top bar hive beekeeper as he
works with his bees. I continue to consider how to manage the American foulbrood that infected my hive at the end of the summer and destroyed my hive. The disease is a bacteria that can infest a hive for 40 years. It takes fire and bleach to destroy it and terramycin to treat it before it kills the hive. Unfortunately, the honey is not for human consumption for up to six weeks after treatment. The suggestion is to destroy the hive, treat the underlying area and get a new hive. This is one bad bee killer.
