Over several years i have had intermittent cases of chalk brood and tried different potions and remedies but have found re queening to be the only satisfactory remedy. When reading up on chalk brood i have found that early books on beekeeping 1930's and 1940's seem to imply that you are unlikely to come across chalk brood. Has chalk brood become more preverlant and if so why is this. I thought maybe importation of bees but this cannot be the case as they were imported in great numbers following Isle of Wight Disease. Interested in your thoughts and opinions.
