Catch 22? Drugs, like TM or Tylan, are not to be used to cure active cases of AFB, so how can one even qualify for a prescription to begin with if you have to have a hive showing the effects of the AFB disease. Unless the prescription is issued, after identification of the presence of the disease, as a preventative use application to hives in the apiary.

On a side note of sorts, Aaron, did you notice how Paul Cappy gave credit to the use of Tylan as reason why disease levels in Commercial outfits inspected by Apiary Inspectors went down? I wondered if he had asked those Commercial Beekeeper who had previously had cases of AFB whether they used Tylan or not. He never asked me. Just find some cause and effect statements suspicious.
