 > I have heard it said more than once, by a prominent, now retired bee
scientist, that chalkbrook and AFB will not be present in the same hive at
the same time; that chalkbrood surpresses AFB.  I always wondered about
this, thinking that if chalkbrood supresses AFB then there might be some
sort of silver bullet in the former for the later.

I have seen the same comments printed and when I raised this issue with our
bee inspectors, they have been told me that they have seen both AFB and CB
in the same hive.  When I first read this I thought we might have found the
silver bullet but, unfortunately, I think not.
