A couple of years ago we had the largest outbreak  of AFB ever recorded in
the UK not so far from me. Over a hundred hives  belonging to one beekeeper were
infected. Since, as far as I know, only his  hives were involved, its pretty
clear that he was the one spreading the disease.  It must have been present in
the hives for some considerable time before it was  spotted.
