Losses in Ohio last winter were unusually high (50%+) and I did see a lot more dysentery than I've ever seen in my hives. So I really expected to find some nosema. I was a bit surprised by the results I got back from Beltsview, no nosema or tracheal mites. Maybe all the hives that did have them were dead?
