Abstract
Adult honey bees of two colonies given one feeding of Bacillus larvae spores egested them in their feces over a period extending more than 2 months in one population. Spore egestion began 1 day after spore ingestion, and reached a maximum on the 2nd and the 6th day. Spores that passed through the alimentary tract of adult bees remained viable and incited American foulbrood disease when fed to susceptible honey bee larvae.
