Chalkbrood
What's Chalkbrood
Chalk disease: the fungus infects the bees, so they spread the white mycelium and kill the bees. When the bees are pupas the characteristic of this film is that the pupa dies, mummification (loss of water) leads to the appearance of chalk covered by white mycelium.

Basically, they can cure it themselves.During rainy and humid season, it becomes popular due to poor nutrition. In addition, if the larva stays below 30 degrees, the bacteria will breed, so it is best to place the hive in a place where the temperature of the hive is not too low. So don't leave the nest plate outside for too long to check the hive.
