Not to deny Dadant any income but, what's wrong with the old field tests of visual identification and rope testing? Are beekeepers misidentifying AFB and destroying equipment needlessly? I've IDed hundreds, if not thousands, of AFB cases over the years and never used a "kit". Not bragging, just saying that knowledge and familiarity should serve you better.

1. To test the samples taken, has anyone used the new that Dadant sells? If so, what are your impressions?
