This frame is an example of American Foulbrood disease which is highly transmittable and one of the most destrucitve and widespread brood diseases. It is very difficult to treat and if it does not kill a colony it will seriously weaken it. Paenibacillus larvae, the cause of AFB, only affects brood two days and younger....

On the final day of the healthy bee frame much of the capped brood has emerged and the young brood is beginning to mature. The honey pattern has changed once again. If you look carefully you can once again see the new workers emerging though not as many as in the day before.

In day seven of the progression image many of the larvae have emerged. The honey pattern is slightly less than the previous day and there is a higher amount of uncapped brood. If you look closely you can see worker bees emerging. When I brought the frame into the lab, there were only two bees crawling around on it, how...

Day 6 of the healthy bee frame shows that almost all mature larvae have been capped and that new brood are beginning to grow. The capped honey cells are slightly different than before.

This frame contains a bee disease known as Chalkbrood. This disease is fairly common and affects the bees at the larval stage, killing brood in a matter of 2 days once they are capped. It will not kill a colony but it will weaken it. Notice the spotty brood pattern which is a sign of an unhealthy colony.

I took this panorama while some friends and I jumped off of the cliffs of the canyon into the Big Chco Creek. There are several swimming holes in Upper Bidwell Park and when temperatures soar over 100 degrees F its one of many places people take refuge from the heat. Mike Andree

On day 5 of the healthy bee frame progression there is less open brood due to the dillegence of the worker bees.

This is day four of the healthy bee frame progression. As you can see, the frame has not changed drastically over the weekend although it does look slightly different than before. Many of the cells filled with pollen in the previous images are no longer and there are higher amounts of uncapped brood cells present.

On day three of the prgression image all the drone cells have hatched. The pollen formation has changed slightly and there is also small difference in the capped honey cell formation.
