Hello Marko,

I think you mean American Foulbrood, sometimes called American Foul Brood, and
also referred to as AFB.

We have discussed this for a long time on this list and there are many excellent
articles in our logs expressing several different points of view.  Some people
say burn or melt, others say treat with oxytetracycline, and others say breed
bees that can stand AFB.

Others yet say use a combination of all three techniques to master the disease.

I suggest you search our archives at
http://listserv.albany.edu/archives/bee-l.html using 'American
Foulbrood','American Foul Brood',and 'AFB' as keys and ask if you need more
information.

Regards,

allen
