Bob, how are you getting the mist into the cells? Are you spraying each
frame individually?
Are you using a hand trigger sprayer, or what king of sprayer?
Frank Eischen is finding honey supers that he says are loaded with spores,
and that spore levels go up when the supers are added.
In my own N ceranae test yard, I put all the deadout equipment right back
onto spring splits without treatment, and all was fine. That is one reason
that I am so curious if there are other factors involved.
You have solved your N ceranae problem with bleach. I did nothing and it
appeared to resolve itself.
So my question to you then is, did you run any control colonies that you did
not spray the boxes, run at the same time in the same yard, so that you
could compare to see how important the bleach treatment was?
I'm trying to make some sense of this, so the more good observations the
better. Anyone else who has experience with N ceranae, who has actually
checked spore levels under a scope, please feel free to join in!
