Gavin:

> Here is a question for you: is honey from an infected hive a risk to bees?

Yes - I have undoubtedly spread EFB with wet supers in the past.

Also, from:
http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/files/pests/european-foulbrood/western-australia-case/summary-of-wa-case.pdf

'The risk of EFB establishing in Western Australia from small quantities of 
unpasteurised
honey imported by travellers is substantial.'
