![American foulbrood (irregular brood pattern)](http://agdev.anr.udel.edu/maarec/wp-content/gallery/diseases-of-honey-bees/72.gif "Brood combs in an infected colony have a scattered and irregular pattern of capped and uncapped cells. Infected cells are discolored, sunken, and often have punctured cappings. This \\"pepperbox\\" appearance contrasts with the yellowish-brown, convex, and entirely sealed cells of a healthy brood comb.")
![Parasitic mite syndrome (Apistan® treatment)](http://agdev.anr.udel.edu/maarec/wp-content/gallery/diseases-of-honey-bees/92.gif "If, as seems to be the case, the virus complex is associated with Varroa mites, then controlling the mites is important in controlling or at lease combating the disease. Because many of these infected colonies seem to collapse or the bees seem to \\"disappear\\" in early fall it is necessary to control the mites well before this time. Currently, Apistan is the only legal material registered for the control of Varroa mites in the United States. If used according to label direction, Apistan can effectively control Varroa mites.")
