[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 12107, member: 13"] And that hive would not have become infected / died out, if it was immune. Meaning you would not have got AFB from it either. See my point? Re robbed honey being stored, had the hive they robbed been immune, they would not have been able to rob infected honey from it in the first place. IE, you'll be safe if all the hives around you are immune. But beyond that, they store the robbed honey whether they are vaccinated or not. As robbing mostly occurs after the flow, when honey is harvested and AFB would not have had time to develop, the majority of the time this honey will be harvested with no way for the beekeeper to know there is contaminated honey, hive vaccinated or not vaccinated. But in any case the hive not catching AFB and spreading it will reduce AFB far more than any increase of AFB caused by harvested contaminated honey from a vaccinated hive, because that would have most likely still happened if the hive was not vaccinated. However. I can see this discussion has become circuitous, and as such you may have the last word I won't continue this. Might speak to someone else in the thread though Someone with a more scientific background than myself might be better to comment. [/QUOTE]
