[QUOTE="Bee Real, post: 11172, member: 253"] The article Says: "Once the disease is potentially detected then there is a further field test that the beekeeper completes onsite to confirm the presence of AFB.” "The problem is that traditional identification is very slow. What the hell???? What further field test are they talking about??? Someone should point out to Rex that once the cell shows the classic signs of AFB it is already a confirmed afb. I m hoping the reporter has misquoted Rex. Otherwise, he is saying the beekeepers in his company are not confident in identifying afb by visual inspections. As the article also quotes Rex saying: "In an industry as large as ours there is varying levels of skills and identification relies on an individual’s personal abilities with results open to interpretation” . What part of the owner of the hives is responsible to ensure all his beekeepers are competent in identifying AFB he is missing.... [/QUOTE]
