Abstract
TSLE OF WIGHT disease is the most serious 1 menace to apiculture in Great Britain. The prevalence of this complaint and the present high cost of bee appliances and of stocks render it extremely doubtful whether any profit can be derived from the keeping of bees solely for honey production. Many bee-keepers find it more profitable to supply bees and queens, together with the necessary apparatus, and hundreds who take up bee-keeping relinquish it after a short time as being non-productive.
