The Shook Swarm

摘要

In trials to control European Foul Brood n honeybee colonies it has been shown to be beneficial to shake bees onto new foundation and then destroy the old combs. Trials indicate that it may also be beneficial in controlling nosema and chalk brood diseases. Colonies treated in this way often become the strongest and most productive in an apiary. Some beekeepers are now using this system to replace all the old brood combs in a beehive within a single procedure.
