[QUOTE="James, post: 5769, member: 212"] The short answer JohnF is Yes, the dogs are detecting pre clinical . And this is where it gets tricky, beacuase if you want total eleimination then the preclinical has to be dealt with . The preclincal hive may well live a happy and productive life for several years, until such a time it gets a stress event , and then starts to collapse. At the moment it's up to the individual bee keeper to come up with a game plan on how they treat the preclinical. The zealot will burn all indications. The humanitarian will initiate the quarantine and say thankyou for the heads up. Our own policy is to say "Thanks for the heads up' on the live gear, because we are curious, but any honey box or associated "dry" gear goes in the log burner. The scientific response , and JohnF will know better than me, is to swab the indications and analyse the results with a very definite thumbs up and thumbs down verdict when the level of indication is determined.
