Pathogenic Organisms in the Pollen of Flowers and Disease in Bees

Abstract

THE observations of Dr. Rennie and his co-workers have established an association between Acarine infection and Isle of Wight disease in bees. There still remains, however, the question of the part played by bacillary infection in this and other diseases which affect bees. In this communication I desire to direct attention to two aspects only of this complex problem.
