When to Apply Preventive Measures:

Early Spring and Fall: These are critical periods for monitoring and preventive treatment as colonies are more vulnerable during these times.
During Hive Inspections: Regularly inspect brood frames for signs of AFB, including discolored larvae, foul odor, and characteristic ropey larval remains.
When New Equipment is Introduced: Sterilize all new and used equipment to prevent the spread of AFB spores.

What to Use for Prevention:

ANTIBIOTICS:
Oxytetracycline (Terramycin): Applied in early spring and fall. Follow local regulations and recommended dosages strictly.
Tylosin (Tylan): Used as a secondary treatment in cases of confirmed AFB infection.
Hive Management:
Practice good hygiene and regularly sanitize equipment and tools.
Isolate and monitor newly acquired colonies to prevent the introduction of AFB spores.
Culling and Burning:
Remove and destroy infected brood frames and equipment to prevent spore spread.
