Well I for one cannot fault Bob for sharing information on treatment 
of Nosema ceranae even if it comes to us as off label advice.  I kind of 
doubt there is much chance of his ever getting sued for what he said here 
on Bee-L.  On the other hand if it comes down to having to follow that 
advice in order to keep my bees alive I am pretty sure I would have to let 
beekeeping go for a while, at least until a better solution arrives or a 
resistance to Nosema ceranae is established in honeybees.  Aside from the 
expense and work of all that treating with Fumagillin or Fumadil, it seems 
pretty likely that some of it would eventually wind up in the honey.  Good 
clean honey, the wonderful, sweet product of nature is what I am after, and 
hold the antibiotics please.  If I have to, I will treat according to the 
label in the fall when I am really sure the stuff won’t be around when the 
blackberries come into bloom.  If that doesn't work well I guess I'm out of 
luck.  I treated in the fall without knowing if I had any problem.  Before 
I treat again I will get that microscope and test my bees.
