This may be a dumb question... but can I take bees out of a dead out and check for Nosema levels? Is the Nosema still there to be seen if the bees have been in a dead out for a few weeks? I now own a scope I have experience with a scope but not with using one for checking bees, I have looked at a lot of stool samples though...
