The nature of AFB outbreaks i.e. sporadic and largely non recurring after elimination(from a regional inspector), implies outside contamination
e.g. honey from disposed containers.

I would propose compulsary labelling on all honey jars both imported and local something like:

" Please help protect your local honeybees and bumblebees from the spread of disease by carefully washing this container after use and before disposal"

Are you in favour of this?,

Comments and ammendments on the wording are welcome.

Not in favour - the general public will just remember something about honey spreading diseases, it's on every jar... :eek:
