I think I will wait a while before I get one... My biggest concern is what do you do with it if you get AFB? Burning plastic is a bit harsh on the environment. I suppose in a commercial incinerator it isn't too bad but I don't know where I might find one around here. Not to mention the cost of replacing it if it does require burning.

Did I miss something ?

 Do they act as a incubator for AFB ?

Why the worry ?

AFB is in the brood. The cells are too long for the queen to lay her eggs in henced only honey is stored in them.
Have you had hives burned before due to AFB?
Do you buys hives from commercial beeks who treat for AfB?
If not I would not worry about it.

My parents got out of bee keeping when they had to burn pretty much their entire apiary. It was what pushed them out of beekeeping. I have not had any problems.
