Some on the list may remember previous discussions concerning the
National Beekeepers' Assn of NZ's American foulbrood Pest Management
Strategy. The strategy has now been 'notified' in New Zealand, and I
have made a copy of it available on the WWW.
New Zealand has historically treated AFB in a manner differently from
most other countries. I'm not posting this to try to start an
argument about the rights/wrongs advantages/disadvantages of various
approaches. I think it is mostly important that the beekeepers *own*
whatever system of disease regulation might be in place.
This is the one we are proposing for *ourselves* and I thought some
members of the list might be interested in reading the justification
and details!
