This has been a disagreement for quite a LONG time. Some of us contend that
feeding honey and not going to give your bees AFB, and some of us contend
that this is a great way to give your bees AFB.

Take all advice with a grain of salt, and do what you feel is right. If you
are afraid of AFB from honey then don't do it and keep your own honey for
that....but then again, how do you know whether your honey is AFB free?

There is just as much chance of AFB being in your honey as in other's honey
and you not even knowing it. AFB is everywhere, and some bees handle it well
and you never ever know its there, and others don't handle it well and those
are the ones that they make the pictures from...
