  14. Punctured Cappings

    Punctured Cappings by Dennis vanEngelsdorp from the GigaPan AFB Frame by Dennis vanEngelsdorp

    This shows a puntured capping by a worker bee so that the dead larvae may be removed from the cell. When an AFB infected larvae dies millions of spores are released. The workers pick up this infection when they clean out the cell and spread it throughout the hive.

    Sunken Cappings by Dennis vanEngelsdorp from the GigaPan AFB Frame by Dennis vanEngelsdorp

    Notice the sunken brood capping due to the death and shrinkage of the larvae.

  21. Chalkbrood 'Mummy'

    Chalkbrood 'Mummy' by Dennis vanEngelsdorp from the GigaPan Chalkbrood Frame by Dennis vanEngelsdorp

    This cell shows what is known as a chalkbrood mummy. Chalkbrood is a fungal disease that is caused by the fungus Ascophera apis. It is fairly common and seen in stressed or weak colonies, affecting only bee brood. The fungus causes the brood to become moldy and then hardens it into what looks like chalk, hence the name 'chalkbrood.' The larvae swells and becomes fluffy almost resembling that of a marshamallow; however once capped it begins to dry out and harden, becoming almost mumified. A chalkbrood larvae will die within 2 days of being capped.
