Hello Bee Wizards all!
 
I know the general consensus regarding what needs to be done to
equipment that comes in contact with foulbrood.  I don't want to start
that thread.  My question is, if a hive does have foulbrood and is full
of bees, can the bees be saved?  If you transfer the bees to new
equipment, will they re-infect the new frames and boxes??  I seems
lilkey that they will as the living bees must have the spores on them
too.  I suppose you could torch the bees with 500K BTU of heat to kill
the spores but I am afarid this may singe the wings a tad
;-}.................What do you all think??
