>Jars are unlikely to spread AFB, but packing plants (notably Manley Ratcliffe in the past) have had outbreaks of AFB around them which has been >attributed to leaving empty barrels outside where bees could access them. Peter, would disagree. I know of several cases here in Australia where AFB outbreaks have been attributed to robbing of dumps where jars have been dumped. Especially when you see jars with a reasonable amount of honey still in them. Maybe the purchaser did not like that type of honey.
