> Isn-t it the other way around. EFB disappear with a strong flow?

No.  In a strong flow more bees are recruited to foraging, leaving a smaller 
workforce to tend to the larvae.  The larvae then get less food and the 
symptoms of EFB begin to show.  After a flow, the larvae are better fed and 
more survive without EFB symptoms.

At least - that is what I was taught...
Best wishes
