[QUOTE="tristan, post: 13530, member: 30"] just to give some idea of how stupid things are at the moment, i just saw a social media video from one of the almost local commercial beekeeping companies. they are 3rd generation beeks, always regarded as been very good. but they put up a video of them harvesting and shortcutting the afb inspection. the single most important inspection you can do, and they short cut it by doing single frame inspections. plus they must think its normal enough to put it on social media. that company was also one of the ones worried about the foster test finding afb spores and putting them out of business. now you can see why that might be a concern to them. the silly thing here is what money do you save shortcutting inspections? practically nothing. risking their entire business for nothing. i'm aware of another crowd that has done similar, and now they have afb randomly popping up.
