[QUOTE="Dr Mark Goodwin, post: 11078, member: 617"] AFB workshops for commercial beekeepers I know many commercial beekeepers dont think they need to attend annual AFB workshops. We often had that question in the consultation for the strategy. The discussion usually went like this. Sure you probably don't need to attend a workshop but do you know of beekeepers that you think should attend. Th answer was usually yes. The next question was usually how does the management agency know' who needs to attend to go and who doesn't. no one could suggest a better solution than to make everyone attend. The hope was always to get AFB to be the first thing the thing beekeepers think of when managing hives rather than the 10 thing after varroa, feeding, requeening, etc. Pre varroa we achieved it in the 1990s , however because most of the education for commercial beekeepers stopped in 2000, and varroa turned up AFB got relegated [/QUOTE]
