Another reason, even if you are allowed to irradiate foodstuffs
(unlikely at present in most countries), is that the honey
bubbles up and sprays everywhere.  A friend left honey in brood
combs during a regular preventative treatment and ended up with
some very messy equipment.
 
In the UK, irradiation is approved for treatment of AFB, however
the last I heard the jury was still out on EFB, where there is
a perceived risk of failure to kill and subsequent mutation.
