[QUOTE="HamBees, post: 11516, member: 49"] Cq Marker 1 - 30.61 Cq Marker 2 - 25.82 Spores/gram - 4549 30g random sample taken from nearly 300kg extracted honey. The find was reported in the AFB roundup in the Oct/Nov 2021 issue of The Beekeeper, in the Waikato section. AP2 found 21% of hives infected, beekeeper subsequently found 80% infected. In the April/May 2021 issue of The Beekeeper, an article from Analytica stated... "Since the OMAR regarding China was introduced late last year, Analytica has performed over a thousand AFB tests on honey samples from New Zealand. Approximately 86% of the New Zealand samples we have tested resulted in a non-detect. [I]Of the 14% of the New Zealand honeys that tested positive for AFB, approximately 80% displayed a relatively low spore count of <360 per gram of honey, 5% had an intermediate count >360<2,000,[/I] [B]and 14% had a high[/B] [B]spore count of >2,000."[/B] The spore count in the sample tested was 4549/gram. I'm not good at maths but 14% of 14% of over 1000 tests, this has to be at the very top end, and one of the highest ever spore counts... [/QUOTE]
