Ian Steppler added hygienic behaviour testing of his breeder colonies to his KRTP monitoring program sampling. Here we describe the process of hygienic behaviour testing with the KRTP. See the Bee Health Monitoring Program registration form to sign up!
Originally recorded as a demonstration video for veterinarian training purposes, this video shows some of the classic symptoms of American Foulbrood in a live honey bee colony, as well as how to prepare a frame sample to submit to Veterinary Diagnostic Services for analysis.
The KRTP is a brand-new education, research, and extension service of the Manitoba Beekeepers’ Association—aimed at helping all levels of our beekeeping industry adapt & improve the management and health of honey bee colonies across the province.
