Last weekend, I got an update from a representative of Dalan about a field trial of their AFB vaccination. The results were inconclusive since the test apiary was free of AFB. However, Dalan reported that the vaccinated yard had a much lower incidence of DWV titers in the sampled bees. When questioned about the results, Dalan's response was they are looking into the possibilities. Would be interesting if an AFB vaccination somehow stimulates an immune response against DWV.
