Allen wrote about bees, originally from Austrailia, that showed signd of chalkbrook AND AFB.

I have heard it said more than once, by a prominent, now retired bee scientist, that chalkbrook and AFB will not be present in the same hive at the same time; that chalkbrood surpresses AFB.  I always wondered about this, thinking that if chalkbrood supresses AFB then there might be some sort of silver bullet in the former for the later.

Now I am wondering about Allen's comments which are contrary to what I wrote above.  Personally I have never seen both CB
and AFB in the same hive, although I must admit that if I see CB I have not been inclined to look closely for AFB.

Comments Allen (or others)?
