Peter Borst asks how Europeans kill diseased colonies of bees.  In the case of
AFB the hive is closed in the evening after flying has ceased and petrol is
poured through the feed hole in the crown board.  This kills the bees rapidly
and humanely and also probably assists the subsequent funeral pyre.  I have
killed a colony of dangerously psychopathic bees by spraying each comb of bees
with very dilute detergent washing up liquid using a mist sprayer.
