I thought I'd read somewhere that it can affect adult bees, and since the
queen lives longer is more likely to reach the stage where she sickens
from it. Wasn't there a study which showed that as the bee matures it
takes a greater number of spores to infect it? I've also noticed a high
number of my hives which have AFB are queenless, although that of course
doesn't prove anything.
