Roger,

" - dysentery can cause Nosema but dysentery is NOT caused by Nosema - this is a very common mistake that has somehow become established in beekeeping circles.
Nosema is present in most colonies, an outbreak of dysentery can turn it into a very serious problem."

I stand corrected, thanks for that. I too had accepted the commonly held perception as fact.
