I did.  You are required to take my work that I do not treat for any thing
in my bee yards.
Or you may come and see or take the work of out state bee inspector that
there is no AFB in my hives.
Scientific support or not there is three (3) beekeepers in NM who do not
treat.
One of those beekeepers is a past presedent of the New Mexico Beekeepers
Assoication.
I will get his permission to post his name and phone number so some who wish
may call him to see if he in facts treats for AFB.
