"I've been taught that the most common vehicle to spread AFB is honey." 



According to the local Bee Inspector (who recently destroyed, burnt and buried one of my hives) 94% of honey imported into the UK contains AFB spores.  No other hives in the area, mine or other people's, appear to have AFB and his conclusion was that my bees found a sticky honey jar in a bin.
