The U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved a conditional license for a vaccine that protects honeybees against American Foulbrood disease, Dalan Animal Health, the biotech company behind the drug, announced.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved a conditional license for a vaccine that protects honeybees against American Foulbrood disease, Dalan Animal Health, the biotech company behind the drug, The disease, which is caused by Paenibacillus larvae, infects the bee's larvae. Traditionally, when bees get sick with American Foulbrood disease, their hives, as well as any equipment in contact with the infected hives, must be incinerated, the statement said.

"This is an exciting step forward for beekeepers, as we rely on antibiotic treatment that has limited effectiveness and requires lots of time and energy to apply to our hives," said Trevor Tauzer, a board member of the California State Beekeepers Association, in the news release."If we can prevent an infection in our hives, we can avoid costly treatments and focus our energy on other important elements of keeping our bees healthy.

Dalan Animal Health develops immune treatments for invertebrates to prevent harmful diseases from spreading amongst honeybees, shrimp, worms and other insects.

What could go wrong

Mistermeister32 Great news

Wonder what's making them so vulnerable to all these things, that never threatened them before?

Crazy!

oh boy......

Ok, but who is going to give them their shots?

Follow the $$$

What could go wrong?

This is hoe the food crisis will start. Bet the vaccine is from Gates.

Is the vax only required for the drones & the queen is exempt?

Will the bee GOP undermine this effort and cause mullions of unnecessary bee deaths?

Trying to destroy bees now.

How much you want to bet the vaccine kills the already endangered bee population, nobody is held accountable… and enter Bill Gates, all that shady farmland, and his new synthetic bee-free pollination technology nobody has heard about until right then. Watch

If the honeybees don’t get the vaccine are they allowed to work?

THE BEES WOULD BE BETTER OFF DRINKING BLEACH OR AT LEAST THEIR OWN PEE DON'T LISTEN TO FAUCI OR WHOEVER THE BEE FAUCI IS TRUMP FOREVER

And some of them will refuse the vaccine..

Where will you find a needle small enough to poke on their little butts?

Please stop with the vaccines.

How’re they gonna catch, vaccinate and put a tiny band-aid on each little bee?

I guess that the CV vaxx hasn't killed enough people quickly enough? Now the gov needs to kill off a key component of our food chain using vaxxes?

Here we go again🙄
