Abstract
The present invention provides a method for the detection of American foulbrood (AFB) in a beehive, said method comprising the steps of taking a sample from the beehive and testing the sample for a range of compounds, wherein the presence of one or more of the compounds in a relative amount of at least three times that of a non-infected hive indicates the presence of AFB in the beehive.
