I received the following message from a friend I have helped establish an
apiary over past 2 years.

He writes:

"I think we need to get educated on what to expect and how to run an apiary
with the AFB in the community. Would you check with your internet associates
for the names of anyone with whom we can communicate by email to accomplish
this. Also the names of any apiaries in Southern California that might be
worth making a short visit to - to learn how they handle the AFB."

I too am curious as to what preparations fellow beekeepers are making or
have made where AHB is making a transition into a non-AHB area.

Thanks for any input.
