BEEKEEPERS The setretary of the P. E. I.

Beekeepers Association announc-

ed that the Beekeepers requiring

packaged bees in 1959 are re

quested to book their orders im-

mediately. Commencing on April

17th., 100 packages will be ship- ped out daily. HM possible bee- keepers in an area are requested to get together when placing their orders. Packages consigned ia this way will arrive earlier.

Spring road conditions often delay

delivery of the packages which

must be distributed from Char- lottetown. :

The Provincial Government will assume the cost of the ex- pressage. Packages will be ship- ped prepaid. If you are present- ed with a bill for expressage, please pay the account and for- ward the receipt to the Secre- QUEENS

There is no satisfactory method ef guaranteeing Qveens for all the beekeepers who require them and, for that reason, we will not be keeping a supply on hand. Beekeepers must make their own arrangements for extra Queens by placing an order dir- ect with the supplier. The order for Queens should be placed so that the Queens wil! arrive about five to ten days after the bees have been received. The Queens are $1.15 each prepaid. The price for a two pound package of bees is $3.95 AMERICAN FOUL BROOD

KM is recommended that al! beekeepers on P-ince Edward Is- land use drugs for the prevention of Ameriean Foul Brood. The following nrethods have been us- ed for the treatment of this di- sease-

Plan ‘1! Feed a syrup made of one part sugar to one part water. Use feeder cans or division feed- er. Mix one-half teaspoonful of T.M. 25 ‘Terramycin) into one- half gallon when the package is hived and another half gallon one month later.

Plan (2) Use % teaspoonf u | of sulphathiazole or sulphadiazine to one gallon of syrup.

Pian (3) Commercial beekeep- ers can spray the medicated sy- rup into the brood nests. The syrup is best admijgistered sev- eral times during tak spring; each colony eventually receiving a total amount equal to about one teaspoonful of T.M. 3. if four applications are made % teaspoonful of T. M. 25 should go into each hive on each applica- tion.

Remember the sulpha can be @ dangerous drug if not handled Properly, so don't overdose and make sure that bees don’t store it im the honey supers. Sulpha drugs do not kill the organism eausing the disease but appear to make it incapable of growing and multiplying in the larvae.

Sodium sulphatjiazole and T.M. 2% can be obtained from ,drug- stores, local Veterinarians. and bee supply houses at a few cents per colony.

For further information on bee) keeping, consult the Experi- mental Farm or the Prince Ed- ward Island Department of Agric-
