Hey Bighead that is sure unlucky but dont give up hope.
I suppose one of the main questions that has to be asked is how it got to be in your hive. To my understanding AFB is a disease of the brood, not of the adult bee but the spores of it are long living and can be carried by the bee, the equipment and/or honey. If it is new equipment then that is really unfortunate. It would also be worthwhile to know if it may have been imported with your nuc or package/swarm or cutout.
Has the inspector instructed you to burn your hive, frames and honey?
When I got it in one of my hives I "shook" my hive into new box and frames and had all my gear irradiated (including handling gear, smoker hive tool, gloves etc) to destroy the spores. The hive is now going well and is rebuilding.
This has to be an unlucky experience for you. I do hope you can rebuild.
