Sorry Dick, but I think that you may have missed the point.  We're not
talking about counting spores.  The question was, whether anyone has checked
to see whether or not N ceranae spores *are even present* on the combs.

We are hearing a lot of ASSUMPTIONS that spores would be present as they are
for N apis.  However, N apis causes bees to defecate on the combs.  N
ceranae doesn't.

When I posed this question to the major researchers, they all thought that
it was a valid question, and were a bit chagrined that no one could answer
with actual data.  Note that none of them were even tempted to offer an
opinion, since they all realize that N ceranae is noted for not causing
defecation.
