New Microbial Treatment to Protect Honeybees from Infection by American Foulbrood Disease
Invention SummaryA simple syrup can help deliver freeze-dried bacteriophages to honeybee larvae, effectively inoculating them against a harmful bacterium that causes American Foulbrood disease. In this process, a phage-filled capsule is mixed with syrup and supplied to a hive to facilitate a safe, natural distribution of the helpful microbes via nurse...
