Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Bee Journal, Vol. 6: 1870-71 But where the malady does not show itself till late in the season, or has assumed a malignant and advanced stage, I have yet to learn of any sure remedy but fire. I deem it very conta geons. Since removing to North Carolina, I have not as yet found any case of foulbrood of either kind, and hope I shall not. I have examined stocks in various parts of Wake county. Apiculture, I am glad to say, is receiving in creased attention in this section, though it does not command the attention it deserves. Only a small part of those who keep bees standing about their premises, have left the square box or hol low log. A few are trying the movable comb hives. Among these are Messrs. Hunter and Shultz, of Salem, who, I learn, are successful apiarians. The western part of the state seems at present to yield larger supplies of honey than the middle or eastern portions. Alsike clover will aid very materially in increasing the quan tity and improving the quality of honey here and elsewhere, as well as add largely to the fodder crop.
