[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 12102, member: 13"] Not sure you quite understand vaccination. Vaccination is a way to impart immunity. Immunity means the hive does not get AFB in the first place. Therefore no infection to get into honey supers etc. If the immunity is only partial, then the hive may or may not get AFB. If it doesn't all good. If it does, beekeeper deals with it just like he always does. AFB is not going to "work it's way" into honey and gear from a hive with no AFB, any more than if the hive was not vaccinated. At the moment we don't know that much about this vaccine, or just how effective it is. So much comments, including mine, are speculation. But surely, anything that reduces the amount of hives that get AFB, and therefore the amount of hives that can pass it to other hives, must be a good thing? [/QUOTE]

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
