Nosema ceranae hits Washington State hard.

This is a little too close to home for me, and I think I may have already 
been hit.  I've lost two of ten hives late winter/early spring so far and 
one seems to have been from Nosema, although I haven't absolutely confirmed 
that.  Haven't got that microscope yet.  There was streaking so it might 
have been apis.  I understand ceranae doesn't necessarily show signs of 
disentary.  The thing is I treated with Fumagillin-B in the fall.
