Yeah, it’s horrible. I haven’t had to do it. NZ rules here. https://afb.org.nz/

Edit: Some info. You are required to register any apiary (group of hives) and it’s location after a short duration. You are required to inspect it at least once per year and report the results to the agency.

If anyone gets AFB you are required to notify the agency and destroy the hive. A notification is the. sent to beekeepers in the area to warm them to be on alert.

We aim to eradicate AFB, and given that it’s mainly caused by beekeepers putting infected comb and equipment into hives and letting dead hives be robbed, this seems achievable.

Unfortunately we are doing much worse with this plan than we have do to date with covid eradication. It’s lucky all New Zealanders aren’t beekeepers.
