>My points are that the honey bee colony, given good nutrition, has an
innate capacity to purge a pathogen epidemic, other than in the case of
AFB, which leaves a persistent spore.

I'm assuming that "given good nutrition" implies, at least, in this case that the surviving colonies found some good or adequate forage.  Does it also imply that using antibiotics, in this particular case, would have been overkill, and going forward would just the application of nutritional supplements instead,  achieved similar results?
