[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 1864, member: 71"] In December because of a local enquiry I contacted the AFB PMP regarding AFB hive destruction during the fire ban. I understand the PMP have a list of trusted beekeepers in various parts of NZ who offer destruction at $50 per box, plus mileage, and that this is the usual price for safe destruction of AFB infected hives for a fee to hobbyist beekeepers. This is a good option for hobbyist beekeepers in densely populated areas. DECA holders have permission to move infected gear for either safe storage (if there is a fire ban) or safe destruction. Non DECA holders must destroy the hives on site, and if they cannot they can ask for a free permit from the Agency to shift. [/QUOTE]
