Thanks for the info on whether to microwave honey to kill AFB.
It certainly sounds like there is an element of risk there even if 
microwaved..

O  K DOKEY
Now, what about treating the honey with terramycin....for bee feed only.

Brother Adams recommends feeding a light water-honey mixture when growing 
queen cells..
i have done it a few times with some of my queen growing hives and never 
suffered any side effects as far as I could tell.
However I mix in Terramycin as I am feeding the queencell builders...
Two questions:


1) Is the Terramycin a good safeguard in this instance against AFB?
2) Could a light Terramycin solution adversely affect the queens cells I am 
growing?

Thanks
