HI Everyone,
Peter wrote in part:
"It would seem logical that if it possible to breed bees that are
resistant
to AFB then the same could be done for EFB; perhaps the mechanism is
the
same and AFB resistant bees would there be resistant to EFB?"

Well, the answer is no the hygenic trait that is involved in resistance
to AFB and chalkbrood does not confer resistance to EFB.  We don't
understand why but other mechanisms are involved with resistance to
EFB.
