Thanks! I'm glad we can count on our friends overseas to show our youngsters these simple methods are effective. Thanks. To Olda & All, Pertaining to resistance to foulbrood in hygienic honeybees. When do they detect the infection and at waht stage is it cleaned it up? For example, Would it be common in hygienic bees infected with AFB, to develop a case of AFB that was limited to less than 15 cells and cleaned up while the infection was still in the vegetative stage? Would a colony that cleaned up infection in the vegetative stage in your opinion require burning or other treatment? Or would it be considered cured because the infection did not advance to the contagious spore stage? Also, AFB resistant bees are said to also clean up AFB spores in infected honey by action of the honey stopper. The honey stomach retains the spore containing honey load in the honey stomach and controls passage of food into the midgut filtering out the spores.,, Is there a selection technique for this? -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l for rules, FAQ and other info ---
