[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 13352, member: 13"] Re that. I read up on the developers website. The anti AFB vaccine is fed to the young queen bee, and she has an immune response, which is passed on to her offspring. But it does not guarantee 100% protection. It means the chances her hive will get AFB are greatly reduced, but not eliminated entirely. Steve from Springfield Honey tries to imply that an AFB infected hive could be fixed by vaccinating it. That is not how the vaccine makers say that it works. He shoulda just got on top of his AFB by burning, ages ago, when it was still a small problem. [/QUOTE]
