Tiny mini experiment. 3 hives the 3 with 14 millions nosema spores per bee A 12 ml/litre (carvacrol/syrup 1:1) 2 times 5 days apart B 0.5 ml/litre (ibid above) C nothing (ie control) One week after last treatment: A= 400.000 nosema spores per bee B = 750.000 nosema spores per bee C= 1.200.000 nosema spores per bee ergo, 1.- Nosema reduces by itself 2.- carvacrol help in reducing 3.- I love placebos and the real McCoy too. -- Juanse Barros J.
