What I do is remove the honey super with minimal disturbance to the bees. Then I take the brood box several meters away, replacing it with another brood box containing brood frames from quiet colonies, with a new queen in place or with the view of letting the colony make a new one. Then replace the QX & honey super.
You could do this early morning, by the afternoon or preferably the following day, most of the angry bees will be with the colony & new brood box. Then you can look for the queen in the old brood box. If bees still attack you, you can walk away, those bees will return to the old site. It is much easier to find the queen with predominantly nurse bees to contend with.
No Rod, that wont happen because you are only replacing the brood box with another brood box that contains brood frames, minus the bees. There will be enough bees in the honey super as well as the returning bees to look after that brood.
What you are doing is replacing the brood box with another brood box, that contains brood without bees. Everything else stays the same. Except the brood box will be as far away as you like from the original site when it comes to looking for the queen. In that case, you should only have the nurse bees to contend with, while searching for the queen.
How I cycle out old or diseased frames is to take an outer frame that is not in use for brood, it may have some stores in it, Then select the next frame you want to replace and move it to the outside position where the bees can emerge. Add a frame with a new frame of foundation towards the center of the brood cluster that the bees will work on making comb, so you have introduced, or cycled in, a new frame that of course is free of spores. in time it will be affected by spores but what has happened is you have weakened the amount of spores. If you have spare frames of comb that are from another hive so much the better. As you take a diseased frame out you should cut the comb out and render the wax and soak the frame in a strong beach for a couple of hours, then rinse and air dry. You can also move a frame of brood into the super to emerge before removing it - cycling it out of the hive.
Hope that explained better. Your not dumb nor is it a dumb question, your trying to understand in a new area of bee keeping.
I believe the original essence of this advice was simply to avoid reproduction of such queen.
In theory a better queen should improve chances in general. But it is only one factor in complicated picture and I do not believe it is a guaranteed method against chalkbrood or any other disease for that matter.
Thank you! Yes I do have plenty of frames that have comb on them. That is something I do have haha. I have 5 deep boxes and frames that I just purchased yesterday and also have 20 other boxes with frames here that I need to work on. So I will start cycling those in. This is starting to make more sense haha! Thank you!
The first pic is way to blurry to make anything out. The second pic looks excellent and no sign of chalk brood in that pic that I can see.
If there is less mummies on the floor that is a good positive sign. New brood is good but what we are aiming for is less and less mummies no keep up the cleaning, even for a month after you stop seeing mummies as chalk brood spores can be in a hive for a long time after you stop seeing the signs of it.

Effective wildlife conservation strategies require an understanding of how fluctuating environmental conditions affect sensitive life stages. As part of a long-term study, we examined post-fledging and post-independence survival of 89 radio-marked juvenile Northern Goshawks (Accipiter gentilis) produced from 48 nests in northern Arizona, USA, during 1998-2001. Information-theoretic methods were used to examine within- and among-year variation in survival relative to environmental (prey abundance, weather), territory (hatching date, brood size), and individual (gender, body mass) sources of variation. The results support age- and cohort-specific differences in survival that were best explained by behaviors occurring at distinct stages of juvenile development, annual changes in the density of primary bird and mammal prey species, and gender-related differences in body mass. Survival between fledging and independence increased linearly with age and varied among annual cohorts of radio-marked juveniles from 0.81 (95% CI = 0.60-0.93) to 1.00 (95% CI = 0.95-1.00) in association with annual differences in prey density; the slope coefficient for the additive effect of prey density on survival was 1.12 (95% CI = 0.06-2.19). Survival declined to 0.71 (95% CI = 0.60-0.93) shortly after juveniles initiated dispersal (weeks 8-12 post-fledging) and moved to more open habitats at lower elevations. Survival was not closely associated with weather or territory-level parameters. A comparison of the predictions of environmental-, territory-, and individual-based models of survival demonstrated that food availability was the primary factor limiting juvenile survival. This finding indicates that forest management prescriptions designed to support abundant prey populations while providing forest structural conditions that allow goshawks to access their prey within breeding areas should benefit juvenile survival.
I spent most of October and November on the road at speaking engagements and conventions. So when my sons and I returned from the California Beekeepers Convention, we immediately headed out to our yards to assess the condition of our colonies. In far too many of them, the mites had won.
So we took -cup bee samples from the broodnests of 130 overwintered colonies that had not been split in the spring. All had been treated with a single MAQS about 10 days previously. The samples were preserved in alcohol and the mites separated by a mechanical shaker. We rewashed several samples containing at least 50 mites to confirm 100% mite recovery (Fig. 1).
In order to answer the above questions, I took a number of sets of two or three samples of bees from brood frames as well as from the honey supers of 9 hives, as well as additional sets of samples from the broodnests alone of another 10 hives, for a total of 43 samples from brood frames, and 20 from honey supers [2].
Since neither Hopguard nor oxalic acid are effective against mites under the cappings, we needed to do something in order to increase their efficacy. We could have repeated the treatments, but a repeat with Hopguard is expensive and time consuming [3], and I knew from previous experience that two treatments with oxalic dribble in a colony full of brood was not very effective, so I ruled out retreatment for these two.
July 1 (Day 0): We sorted the 60 most highly-infested hives by mite level, and assigned blocks of treatments from the most highly to least infected colonies (so that the treatments were evenly distributed by starting mite level, with 12 hives in each treatment group). From each colony we took a fresh mite sample, this time from one or more honey frames not containing brood. We then applied the following treatments:
These colonies were not in general the strongest in our operation, plus there was a light nectar flow on and the bees were quite gentle, so we were able to shake the bees off and scrape the frames quickly and without needing to put on protective gear. Most colonies had 6-8 frames with sealed brood. We timed how long it took for one person pulling frames and two helpers scratching brood to prepare a hive. It typically took slightly over 3 minutes, but not over 4 minutes, to shake off the bees, scratch the cappings, and put the hive back together.
Many of the colonies had not started in great shape, and we were not surprised that we lost a few over the course of the trial. One in the formic group superseded their queen. As expected, the mite counts in 9 of the 12 of the control hives went up. In the majority of the treated hives the counts went down (Table 1), but not enough for my liking (Fig. 5).
Figure 5. The above data points are of the means of the starting and ending mite counts [[i]]. All treatments (Apiguard and MAQS at half dose, repeated) reduced the mite loads, but none got us down to the target level.
[i] The perceptive reader will have noticed that the plots for MAQS and Apiguard are parallel, despite their efficacies being different. The reason is that in Table 1 I calculated the means of the individual percent reductions for each colony, which gives a different result than then the percent reduction of the means of the mite levels, which is a misleading figure.
Figure 6. We modified telescoping covers, using some leftover Miteaway II rims to hold up the absorbent pad material. All treatments were with formic acid diluted to 50%, which we found to be relatively safe to handle.
Result #2: In order to answer this question, at 24 hours we also broke open the hives and pulled out the brood frames. The first thing that we noticed is that, similar to MAQS, formic flash hits the eggs and young larvae hard (which to us is a good thing, since we find that mite-infested colonies benefit from the break in broodrearing and perhaps the acid-induced disinfection of the combs). It had also hit the newly-emerging workers, some of which were now lying dead in front of the hives; others died with their heads sticking out of the cells from which they were emerging.
One observation of note is that the percentage of mites killed in drone brood was noticeably lower than that in the worker brood, as noted by both vanEngelsdorp, and by Amrine when the drone brood was in older combs, and confirmed (pers comm) by David Vanderdussen, the developer of MAQS.
In the 24-hr mite washes, there was a mean of the reductions in mite levels of 69% in the hives with solid bottoms, and 46% in those with screened bottoms [14]. Not bad for a quick, inexpensive, and easy treatment with honey on the hives.
