<< A heaping tablespoon of the dust should be applied to the top bars of
 frames in each brood chamber and the dusting repeated weekly until all
 traces of AFB are gone.  >>
 
I was undert the impression that any hive with AFB had to reported to a state
bee inspector, the bees killed and the hives either burned, scorched or
treated in a "gas" chamber.  Am I wrong?  Is that info outddated?
