‘Parastic Mite Syndrome’ Weather-stressed bees? The following images are from bees *not* showing foulbrood disease despite their proximity to both EFB and AFB infection, and the heavy stresses they are under. They come from a colony deliberately under stress from Varroa (part of an attempt at breeding Varroa-tolerant bees). Look out for chalkbrood and sac brood.

These bees are infected with EFB Dead very young larvae (dark brown, rt of centre at the bottom), twisted melted down older larvae (bottom left) and dead and mushy larvae under cappings, all features of EFB. Taken by me at the invitation of Murray McGregor who was keen to spread the word that there was an EFB epidemic locally.

AFB Two pictures that I think came from Mo Vaughan on the beekeeping forum.
