In response to my comments concerning the frequency of scale in frames of
commercial beekeepers, Mike replied "Really, Lloyd? I have 22 yards in NYS.
I'll give you $100 for every yard of
mine in which you find scale."

That is wonderful, Mike.  Congratulations, and I stand corrected.  Do you
use terramycin on a prophylactic basis?  If you do, and have not had AFB,
why do you do so?  Because you do not want to see AFB?

I do not use Terra., and burn all frames from any hive where I see AFB.  And
I do see it once or twice a year (once this year).  If I used Terra., I
would either never see AFB or would only see it rarely, but it would still
be there!
