Some bee-keep-ers claim to hare observed that bees In the neighborhood of flour-mills, sre most often attacked by that maIndy. It must be admitted thatfloqr which has stood outdoors, apd made damp and moldy by dew or rain, Is not conducive to the health of bees. But we must not conclude from this that such food is the cause of foul brood, for that Is due to a special germ.” The fight is on.—American Bee Journal.
