ABSTRACT DRASTIC recommendations regarding the disinfection or destruction of combs, hives, and appliances which have come in contact with bees infected by Isle of Wight disease have been
made by the Board of Agriculture, and were repeated in an article in NATURE of March, 2 (p. 7). The recommendations are founded upon the idea of the infectiousness of the disease, and are
intimately connected with the recognition pf the, protozoon _Nosema apis_ as the cause of the disease and with the knowledge of the ease by which this parasite can be disseminated by
infected bees. On account of the practical importance of the subject, I would direct attention to the results of experiments bearing upon these points, carried out by Mr. J. Anderson and Dr,
J. Renaie, of the North of Scotland, College of Agriculture and University of Aberdeen, respectively, and communicated at a recent meeting of the Royal Physical Society. As an account of
the observations and experiments, which were numerous and detailed, will appear in the next part of the Proc. Roy. Physical Soc., an indication of their bearing is all that is necessary for
the present. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe
