Can Terramycin pemanently clear up AFB?
 
Well, in discussions with our State Apiary Inspectors, they have only known
one hive where Terramycin cleared up the disease to the point when no further
treatment was needed.   The general rule is that while Terramycin will
control AFB, it won't cure it.   If you start in with Terramycin on an AFB
hive, the disease will normally reappear right after you stop treating.
