Instructions for use Performing the test: Step-by-step illustrations Interpretation of resultsAfter 3 minutes, the control line should be clearly visible in the display window of the device. A positive result (indicated by the appearance of both the test line and the control line-see below) indicates that the pathogen sought is present in the sample, and that the larva taken was infected with American foulbrood. Note that even a faint T-line indicates a positive result.A negative result (only appearance of the control line, test line absent) indicates that the sample does not have American foulbrood pathogens. A negative test result does not guarantee the absence of AFB infection in some other part of the colony than the sample tested. Choose the sample with the utmost care.

To make your own beeswax candle you will need: - a silicone mold- a wick of appropriate thickness- a rubber band- a toothpick- silicone (Spray) - optional 1) Preparing the mold:We recommend spraying the mold inside with silicone spray which will make it easier to remove the candle at the end of the process. Insert the wick in the center from the bottom and pop it out from the top. Secure the mold with rubber bands to keep it tightly closed. Tie a wick to the toothpick and rest the latter on the top edge. 2) Fill the mold ocn the wax: Melt the wax in a preferably enameled pot, pour it into the mold when it has reached a temperature of 50°C. Pour it slowly into the mold. The time for the wax to solidify depends on the size of the mold and the amount of wax used. 3) Take the candle out of the mold:When the wax is cold, remove the rubber bands, open the mold and take out the candle. Remove the toothpick and cut the wick at the base of the candle, while on the top leave the wick 1 cm long. Spray the candle with silicone spray to give it shine.
