As if we need another bee killer.

Is there a antibiotic that is given to bees? It's hard to believe how much beekeeping has changed in the past 40 years or so, at least that's what I read. With your experience iddee you could probably confirm what I've read.

Terramycin was used for years, but I don't hear much about it any more. I have heard of Tylan being used for foulbrood, but I don't know if it's legal or not.

I thought there was no treatment for foulbrood, if caught early can it be treated. I was under the impression once you got foulbrood you had to burn the hive.

As said above, I don't know if it's legal or not. That also means I don't know if it's effective and safe or not.

I think Dr Keith Delaplane used that in some of his videos.
