Watch – how to swab your hive for the Foster American Foulbrood (AFB) method

Sometimes it’s nice to be able to watch & learn rather than reading instructions. We had a lot of fun making this video, in the beautiful Tairāwhiti with Barry Foster (of AFB Foster Method fame) which teaches beekeepers how to swab their hives to test for AFB using the method we developed.

We would love to hear your thoughts on our method and of course, feel free to contact us if you want to find out more or get a testing kit to test your hives.
