Abstract
This paper presents a study done to evidence the frequency of this chalkbrood disease and the presence of the Ascosphaera apis in beehives. The total number of affected combs, that had cells with white cretaceous or white green colors, was 75 from a total of 1030 examined. From the total of 376 microscopic slides examined, in 357 was identified the presence of characteristic cyst of Ascosphaera apis, with a media of 94% of positive exams. The percent of positive samples in each bee colony was big, overrunning the value of 90. The importance seated to this disease in our country is low because exist other diseases of bees that induce bigger damages in their population
