[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 12098, member: 13"] My own thoughts on it are if you used the vaccine, you would still continue to check, and burn if need be, same as usual. Just, the incidence of AFB should be lower. However I doubt this vaccine will become widely used in NZ. Firstly, there will be incidences of people saying <I used a vaccinated queen and my hive got AFB> which will put other people off, and secondly best I can tell the majority of NZ hives have self raised queens, which will not be vaccinated. However, anything that can reduce AFB is a good thing in my view. [/QUOTE]
