As one who has gone down the route of torching AFB infected hive boxes, I would
never do it again. I would buy new and have peace of mind. I always worried that
I did not get all the AFB spores, and even though I never had it again, every
time I looked into a charred box, I wondered.
After seven years, all the charred boxes are gone now and I am much happier.
