[QUOTE="Bee Real, post: 11155, member: 253"] Good sugestión Mark and I am sure this will help good beekeepers and I would be willing to attend such a workshop regularly. However, what do you do with the small minority that have an AFB problem, but don’t want to receive any advice because they believe they already know it all. For instance, You may know that one of the Afb spreaders identified a few years back was an ex MAF Apiary instructor and self proclaimed AFB expert and varroa resistant queen breeder. He was caught scorching afb boxes, having hives without moveable frames and shock swarming infected hives, he was also a DECA holder. Expert on spreading afb to neighboring beekeepers that is what he was! Such a workshop wouldn’t change his behaviour...... Also, I understand that the Afb PMP apiary surveillance inspections are not intended to find AFB, but to confirm absence of disease or absence of mismanaged AFB. I think it is a misconception that afb surveillance aims at eradicating AFB, we can ask his at the Conference this week. [/QUOTE]
