I think the disease should be relabelled ABPV! In medical and probably veterinary practice, 'acute' = rapid onset and short lived eg flu or appendicitis. 'Chronic' = slower onset and longer lasting eg chronic bronchitis, diabetes.

Taking the floor away during this time of the year okay with the weather and wasps that have been lurking around? Currently dealing with CBPV at the moment and trying figure out best solution

Thus time of year likely a write off. The Queen won’t be laying fast enough to replace the sick bees.
