> Pete, N ceranae spores are far more fragile than AFB spores. No doubt, but I have a hard time imagining misting combs is effective in getting bleach down into the bottoms of the cells, let alone the spores protected by pollen or honey. Even a light coating of wax may effectively protect spores. Show me the evidence that misting bleach effectively sterilizes anything (as opposed to soaking).
