Actually, my query about whether chlorine gas would kill AFB spores was
only meant to be rhetorical and not as a suggestion. While working for a
beekeeper in the early 1950s, I almost got killed while using cyanide gas
to fumigate a warehouse (legal then) --- not getting out of the building
fast enough after gas began forming.
John is correct; we lose too many beekeepers (and other farm workers)
that way. Sorry for any confusion.
