Ditto. There is the rare instance when I see unclear symptoms, especially
since we got the mite. In those instances, a test might help, but it's
probabaly cheaper to either burn 'em if it's a collapsing colony, or give
'em a course of terramycin if they are strong, and watch. When I see the
rare unusual virulent unidentified disease, I question whether I want those
combs to remain in my operation! Better to burn and be done with it--same
if one of my neighbors comes down with smallpox. : )
