George,

The photos are too small to tell very much. The perforated cappings worry me a bit. Have to tried the AFB rope test?


Contact our inspector Will Hicks at (919) 691-0022 or Will.Hicks AT ncagr.gov.

Subject: [ocba] Worried about this hive

We were in our hive today and this is what I saw.  These bees were a very strong colony in the mountains this spring.  We moved them to our site in Orange County in July and they have been declining since.  I hate to be an alarmist but It kinda looks like foulbrood.  Just want a little confirmation.  Can someone come over and take a look?
