[QUOTE="frazzledfozzle, post: 13053, member: 57"] Chalk brood is spread by bees robbing, drifting, it’s spread on flowers where infected bees have been foraging and even water sources and the soil around an infected hive So using new gear won’t necessarily fix the problem. you can breed queens to be more resistant to chalk brood Which helps but won’t cure the problem. We hardly Ever have chalk brood if we do the hive is requeened. A lot of beekeepers blame the queen for chalk brood but although the queen may be more susceptible they aren’t the actual cause of the problem. [/QUOTE]
