"However, it was not until 1998 that Goodwin and Haine
conducted research and proved that hot wax dipping, when used
correctly, would render all AFB spores non-viable."

Here in Dorset, England, the late George Vickery, a commercial 
beekeeper and respected BBKA Honey Judge, deliberately and illegally 
used comb from a colony with AFB to melt down and make foundation for 
use in a closely observed colony.  The colony didn't go down with AFB.
