This is along my experience. In Finland it is common to shake swarm AFB 
hives. The treated hives show supricingly often chalkbrood, and it must 
come with bees as nothing else is transferred to the new hive from old.

I think it breaks out so easily because bees have hard time starting 
from just foundations in the new hive. Its interesring that same 
happened with irradiated that are drown combs.
