Hi all,

This year I started beekeeping with 4 hives and made
it up to 7.  I got used equipment, in good shape,
inspected and all.  Then I got AFB in one colony.
Burned it.  And treated the rest with T-25.  I used
frames from the used equipment, cleaned and scorched
first. And everything else was clean too.  By the time
I found it, there were quite a few cells infected, but
the colony was still plenty strong. Hardly any scale.
All colonies got used equipment.  And T-25 had not
been used in the spring, rather patties.  Maybe a bit
of powder but hardly any.  And the other colonies were
all fine.  From what I've said, do you think it came
from the used equipment, was already in the hives and
manages to show itself, or got it from my neighbors or
a feral colony?  Would appreciate your comments.  And
do you think I ought to get rid of it all and start
again, or keep on and hope for the best?

Carmenie,

Markdale, Ontario, Canada
