No scientist would support this. Reply; I did. You are required to take my work that I do not treat for any thing in my bee yards. Or you may come and see or take the work of out state bee inspector that there is no AFB in my hives. Scientific support or not there is three (3) beekeepers in NM who do not treat. One of those beekeepers is a past presedent of the New Mexico Beekeepers Assoication. I will get his permission to post his name and phone number so some who wish may call him to see if he in facts treats for AFB. Regards, Lee Deming, NM USA 505 544 6639
