[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 12635, member: 44"] I'm not sure where you're getting that, [USER=91]@NatureAlley[/USER] . These were the first few years of the beekeeping industry taking responsibility for AFB more directly (and having to pay for it!) I'd certainly like to think that [I]absolutely everything[/I] on that old site would be supportive (or at least not contrary) to the concept that AFB can, and should, be eliminated. Every NZ beekeeper would like their own hives to be free of AFB. And it has been shown that AFB can be eliminated, generally through a combination of more/better inspections, hive/apiary quarantines and reducing the exchange of bees/equipment between hives. Maybe you're referring to the Goodwin/Van Eaton [URL='http://www.beekeeping.co.nz/disease/culture.htm']workbook manual[/URL] ? I'm not sure what would speak favourably of AFB - the AFB PMS (now called a PMP) had only been finalised several years before, so I can't think of much of anything that would approach AFB as a demon that should only be talked about in terms of burning!
