>>> I shifted to the above practice ( burn the AFB breakouts ) about 20 years ago, and have been very happy ever since.<><><>I'm wondering if our bees aren't finally developing some resistance mechanism to AFB. I've experienced an AFB issue ten or more years ago. I burned the insides of the involved hives and scorched the interiors of the boxes. I'm sure there was some robbing of the infected hives before I discovered the infection but I have since experienced no reinfection of my hives with AFB. Mike in LA
