One should not mistake "AFB" (American Foulbrood), the deadly and
much-feared disease of bees with "ABF" (American Beekeeping Federation)
the organization that claims it represents all US beekeepers despite
having a membership of only a tiny fraction of US beekeepers.

One is a disease, and the other...

On second thought, never mind.  :)



Don't flame me, ABF members, it is just a harmless JOKE!
