[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 7879, member: 71"] One of my issues with the AFB heat map, it looks like every man and his dog in Ellesmere for the last few years has got or had AFB. Despite me without AFB since 2013/14, when I started losing queen cell orders a couple of seasons ago because I was in an AFB hotspot, I shifted the grafting yard onto one of the biggest farms in Ellesmere, and other than blackcurrant pollination time I am the only beekeeper on it. This is a bit of a pain, cos it's further in time and fuel for me, but I thought it was one way of helping to avoid AFB, and hopefully gives me some sort of barrier. It has been intimated to me that this was an over reaction, because within in the hotspots there are areas without AFB, and if the hotspot was to be enlarged I would be able to see that I wasn't near AFB!
