[QUOTE="Dennis Crowley, post: 10570, member: 63"] Roger being a little misleading here. There are allsorts of ways others are trying to detect early signs of AFB in hives sub clinical and/or clinical PCr, dogs, etc. but none are at this stage the decision making as to when hives get burned in the first place. As you know there is a process to go through firstly by physical signs seen in the hive/brood nest as it always has been. Depending on the situation then there is a further potential for further action being taken as is allowed under the Bio-security act that this falls under. Levy payers have certainly asked for more/other detection methods to be included and that is being progressed, but it all has to stack up science wise. As to re-imbursement for destruction of illegal afb infected gear, not going to happen unless levy payers want to pay very very very did I say very expensive levy fees - that would send most to the wall. But a very cheap match stick early on is a Beekeepers very best friend when they first see afb in their hives. [/QUOTE]
