Bacteriophages (phages) that are intended to be used to treat bacterial infections are often improved using genetic engineering or experimental evolution. A protocol called "Appelmans" utilizes evolution in microtiter plates to promote the evolution of phages that can infect nonpermissive hosts. We tested a modification of the Appelmans protocol using the honey bee pathogen,
