[QUOTE="John B, post: 11263, member: 207"] the AFB PMP does not have my total and an equivocal support but in general it does have my support and I believe they are doing a very good job in trying times. Some submitters have said that AFB is not getting any better. Well at least it's not getting any worse which is something I find hard to believe given the times and circumstances we are living in. Given the number of new beekeepers out there at all levels of the industry the board has done a remarkable job of keeping a lid on outbreaks. Paying a compulsory levy is seen by some as a protection racket but I see it as an insurance policy . It does gall me sometimes that I have to pay the same amount as some recidivist AFB spreaders but I am encouraged by the board's attitude towards these people and changes that have been made to make them more responsible for their actions. If your hive has AFB then it will die. The only question is how many other hives will it take down while it dies. [/QUOTE]
