>but the fact that these practices work suggests to me that something is
wrong and out of balance if the vast majority of beekeepers today find it
necessary to either treat or burn affected (and adjacent) equipment.
I don't follow your logic. In nature, without benefit of man, animals
suffer from parasites, diseases, and epidemics. Populations are decimated,
and species go extinct. What makes you think that things have to be out of
balance for AFB to be an occasional problem?
