Hi James,

I asked Bart Smith at Beltsville what their current protocol for nosema
testing is.  They changed in July, and now test a subsample of 30 bees from
the sample that you send.  This is a great improvement, and I commend them.

However, I  would not recommend that any commercial beekeeper determine
their nosema control decisions based solely upon a sample of only 30 bees.
