against European Foulbrood, it should degrade quickly and leave no residue in honey. This project identified six candidate antibiotics that were effective against the causative bacteria of
European Foulbrood. Following analysis of these antibiotics, ampicillin and amoxicillin were selected
as promising alternatives to oxytetracycline.
