[QUOTE="John B, post: 3663, member: 207"] I have wondered about this issue as well. Certainly under the old apiarys act and order could be given to destroy every box ,frame, Hive et cetera that a person owned and I have seen this enforced. As I understood it under the AFB PMP if someone had 99 rotten hives and one clean one you couldn't order the destruction of the final hive (although you could recommend it). Ordering the destruction of gear not directly associated with clinically infected hives has only occurred as far as I know within the last few years. Personally I don't have a problem with this when somebody has a massive AFB problem but it does become a bit of a grey area when somebody has a light or even moderate infection rate. My personal experience is that as long as you're doing your job properly and finding any AFB before it spreads then the agency is not interested in hassling you. I feel sorry for those that are targeted but they have brought it on themselves and probably given a lot of us a dose at the same time. [/QUOTE]
