wrote about her experience with AFB and old equipment.  I have kept bees for
over 25 years and still worry about used bee equipment.  Yes, Carmenie, I
think you got AFB with the equipment.  Check out the method suggested by
Doug McRory, Provincial Apiarist Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, in that
the bees, from the AFB infested hive, are saved by shaking them onto a cloth
in front of a hive body with foundation.  The old infested frames are
burned, while hive bodies etc are scorched if otherwise worthy.  The
Dufferin Beekeepers Association meets in Orangeville Ontario at the OMAFRA
office, second Tuesday each month at 7:30PM.  Tomorrow is our Christmas
Potluck Dinner.  Join us then or in the newyear.
