[QUOTE="NatureAlley, post: 12240, member: 91"] Hi, you are right, the DECA comes with that obligation, also for non-DECA beekeepers. I did not promote the vaccine for use in NZ, in any case it has not been approved and we are still very far from that, if ever... And by 'complicated' I meant to say that it is not clear at all to what extent the vaccine would help prevent AFB from developing in a healthy, 'vaccinated' colony. The more I read and think about it, the more doubts I have. And to clarify: the USA vaccine is not meant to be used in AFB infected hives, that would not make sense at all. It has been developed with the intention to reduce the chance for a healthy colony to develop AFB, by 'immunising' the queen when everything is still hunky dory.. [/QUOTE]
