> Although a lot of effort has been put into developing sustainable treatment strategies, little progress is evident. Treating infected hives even with new antibiotics will remain problematic; the idea of antagonistic bacteria combating P. larvae in infected larvae is still just at a preliminary experimental stage; essential oils are not yet proven to be really effective in the field without having adverse side effects on the bees; and an AFB tolerant bee stock which is as manageable as the ‘normal’ bees is not yet available, although it is presumably the best solution for the time being. -- Elke Genersch
