摘要: An aerosol cloud of Bacillus atrophaeus (previously B. subtilis variety niger) spores, an anthrax surrogate, was created in a large 0.4 ha (1 ac), bee-containing, open-mesh tent. Bees from uncontaminated hive flying through the adsorbed spores statistically significant quantities. After removal contaminated and introduction another hive, bees again were monitored for next few days spores. accumulated on bees’ bodies following their exposure to residual contamination The spore loads quickly returned background levels after hives removed tent area. It may therefore be practical use honey bee colonies monitor foraging areas disease-causing
