Bob Harrison:
Why Bob, you do understand.

There is a certain level with AFB that even you leave
knowing your bees can handle, and a level at which even you
can tell the bees cannot, even though taking all the honey
all around the AFB.

So what then is wrong with pulling what they the bees
cannot handle, anf then reprocessing the wax, knowing that
you will end up with a product, though truly slight, that
may/might/could/ or maybe not, have active spores left,
though now embeded in the beeswax, that technically will
not hurt the bees there, here in this placement wax
embalmbed mode and reprocess for foundation? For the
results would be on the smaller side of what you are
looking at and saying is alright to leave for hybenic bees
to handle! If you are not afraid of varroa, or chaulk or
other maladies, then AFB should be no problem for a good
beekeeper like you are, in your field management practices
of the hives you keep.
