Ohhh, I'm so glad to see another video from you! All excellent as always :) I'm so happy to say that I haven't come across AFB or EFB for many years.

Wow. AFB is still out there. I haven't heard about regular old bee diseases in decades. When I was beekeeping in the olden days (as my kids the 70s), AFB was the real bugaboo.

Excellent video. Very detailed and clearly explained. Thank you. I'd suggest producing some on sacbrood, EFB, varroa, etc. Thanks again.

Well done. Thanks for the detailed information.

Wow! Fantastic detail! Thank you very much. Excellent instruction.

So straight forward and helpful! Thank you very much for your time and efforts! I would love to take a class from you😍👍🏼

Very helpful video. Thank you.

This is a very informative and useful video and good use of views of frames, but one thing I do suggest is that the bees should be shaken off any brood frame when inspecting for AFB. It only takes one cell to be infected for the diagnosis so each cell must be visible.

Very well done video, thanks for producing such quality content.

Because of your videos I am a better Beekeeper. Thank you. I like watching yours and a few other people who make professional videos.

I always enjoy your videos. You do a great job of clearly explaining things and offering a very concise detail of what to look for. I can’t wait to see future videos of yours. A year ago as I was putting my plan together to get started in beekeeping. I used your videos over my first year as a great resource when I had questions. I hope in the future you’ll do some videos on queen rearing. I know you’ll give me a great explanation and great video to accompany your lecture. Thanks again for your great insight!

Thank you for this video

Wow, thank you!

I almost gave up on this channel. So goad to see new videos posted. Please keep it up.

Thank you. Great video.

Very good information, I was very impressed. Dominic

Great info and very well done 👍 ty!

THANK YOU

Whats the main difference between American foulbrood and European foul brood?? Besically im from Pakistan. And in Pakistan both foulbrood exits But American foulbrood is more effectively active here .

Thank you you’re a wealth of knowledge. I have a leaven hives and two of them about a week ago absconded. I just went through a few of the frames and some of them are perforated I can’t determine whether it’s American fell through or not because when I do the matchstick test it’s not Ropey.

Hi Robert, do you have any photos of the brood issues? If so, you can share them with us at dycebees@cornell.edu and we can take a look at them. You can also get in touch with your state or provincial apiculturist to arrange to have an inspector come to your operation to identify the disease.

Thank you. You are a tremendous help to the beekeeping community.

When you put a matchstick into a capped cell and you get white liquid coming out, what would that be. Thanks.

Fantastically structured and informative video, with not much done differently over here in the UK. Great to see you back producing content.

Glad to see you back to making videos!

Glad to see you back!

Great informative video even for commercial experienced beekeeper

Excellent information. Thanks so much.

Really good information and video

Are honey supers at risk too?

AFB is a disease of the Brood so not with the disease but it can be contaminated with spores.

At what temperature do the spores die?

Would they still have a smell if the hive absconded and left behind a lot of brood?

@dycelabforhoneybeestudies4833

Yes, it's the decomposing brood that causes the smell

Thank you. I did a little research and looked a little further into the combs of the absconded hives and determined it’s not American foulbrood.

Awesome! Could you do another video on EFB and how it compares to AFB - along with EFB treatments?

Another great video and another great reason not to waste your money on the Cornell Master Beekeeping course; everything you get in the course they make available for free! Although the course does lay things out in order it is certainly not worth $600 -$900 dollars!!!

Not related to this topic at all, but can you tell me where you found your leather bee tool belt? I have looked everywhere and cannot find. Love your informative tutorials. Thank you.

Very informative video. One question I have is there an unusual odor that one can smell through the top vents? I have had one hive die out already this fall and it had a very high mite load which I was unable to get under control. There was a good amount of dead brood in the cells which I gather that there simply was not enough bees left to look after them. There was a smell coming from those frames that is kind of hard to describe. I have frozen those frames so will start checking them keeping in mind the info you presented here.

Yes, if the infection is moderate or severe there is usually an unpleasant, rotten odor. In your case, inspect that dead brood and look for the symptoms we covered in this video. Is it mucousy in consistency? Is it caramel brown in color? Is there black scale laying on the bottom of some cells?

great info but basically it comes down to more big brother controlling everything we do. if a person has brains enough to have bees. they have brains enough to watch for diseases.. How long before people will be tested before they can have bee hives on their land.

Don't go and be putting ideas in their heads.

There seems to be a problem with your voice, maybe too loud, too close to the microphone. This is a better video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qGZ1w5dvmtjaZ7w.html
