When American Foulbrood (AFB) is confirmed, the entire infected hive must be burned to ash. Antibiotics only mask the dormant, infectious spores. Burning is the only permanent solution and a necessary sacrifice to protect surrounding colonies. Always ask for seller permits and maintain strict biosecurity. #Beekeeping #AFB #HiveHealth #Apiary #BeeDisease #honeybees #valleybeekeeping http://www.valleybeekeeping.com
