> Another alternative is to perform a "shake and bake" -- shake all the bees into a new hive with combs of foundation (no drawn comb), and then burn all the combs of the infected hive. Feed the new hive oxytet or tylosin in syrup for the first two weeks after transfer. I've done this a number of times with great success.
The one time I encountered AFB recently [about 4 years ago] at a friend's yard we did this. No AFB in this yard to this day
