[QUOTE="Bee Real, post: 3684, member: 253"] From what I have heard, the decision to destroy honey boxes is not a decision taken lightly and is not based on test results, but on % of afb found in the field by inspectors and on evidence of a lack of traceability in the beekeeping operation. The test result was used to show the affected beekeeper that the contamination in the gear is there even when the affected beekeeper is in denial. These boxes are to be destroyed as they have been associated with afb infected colonies. What livelihood you would be protecting if you allow the affected beekeeper to infect more hives using his contaminated gear?????? None What about someone taking action to protect the livelihood of all beekeepers who share the same area with the affected beekeeper? ( the agency) Aren’t my levies and the afbpmp intended partly to protect my beehives from repeated re infections from non complying beekeepers around me? I believe they are Looking at the big picture, The beekeeper who allowed afb to spread out of control within his/her operation (by ignoring the AFB pmp) is the one who puts his/her own livelihood at risk. In afb outbreaks we cannot expect all affected parties to end up happy. Someone needs to lose. I rather have the beekeeper who ignore the afb pmp to pay for the mess he/she created instead of the hundred beekeepers around him who try their best to eliminate Afb. [/QUOTE]
