[QUOTE="nikki watts, post: 2166, member: 53"] it turns out there’s 24 registered beeks on great barrier, way more than I thought there would be !! 13% of all the registered hives were inspected, they found a few unregistered sites but no more infected hives. The other case turned out to be a false alarm. The lab haven’t confirmed my AFB sample yet so i haven’t been issued an order to destroy anything else at this stage. There is still no clear cause of the infection and I think most likely is a brood box that was put on the hive in summer (from another hive within the apiary) to take as a split later may have had spores which pushed this hive into clinical symptoms. but until the DNA results come in we can only guess. Dwayne (afbpmp) and Johnny (ap2) also had to contend with lockdown in their last two days on the island. They were professional, friendly and helpful and i’m glad they came. [/QUOTE]
