Foulbrood Test Kit

We have had a few worrisome incidents of American Foulbrood (AFB) in southern Maine in years past. Larval remains under sunken or perforated caps are an indication of American Foulbrood, particularly if the remains "rope" out when pulled with a toothpick.

This is a great piece of diagnostic equipment to have in your kit in case one of your hives starts to make you worry.  Results in 3 minutes.
