I wouldn't trust it. AFB is, well, foul. It's about the most satanic affliction imaginable. Destroying everything with extreme prejudice within a 2 km radius using fire seems right to me. The bees themselves can carry the spores, including the queen.

Not the OP, but in my country, instead of destroying everything, we lockdown everything within a 2km radius and only kill the colonies that actually have the disease. Sometimes it means the entire apiary, sometimes only a few hives. There doesn't seem to be a need to bomb the whole area :-).
- tempaccount420 2y agoThat's very nice of you to treat the bees so kindly, but it doesn't mean it's as effective.
- palata 2y agoI guess there is a question of scale indeed. But when it is about animals, I feel like "efficiency" should not be the only concern. The second thing is that if it is all about "efficiency", maybe the producer should not complain about the limitations of their "more productive" way. It feels a bit hypocritical to say "we do it this way because it is more profitable, but when we have a loss of productivity that is fundamentally related to the way we operate, then we believe the State should pay for it".
