I think the effects can be felt by adults as well. Fungi don't discriminate.
Like us, the bees need some friendly types in the gut to aid in digestion.
If the fungi kill the flora and fauna in the gut of the adult bees, the bees
will not thrive. This is being looked at in one of the bee labs. Can you
bring us up to date on this Randy?  Anyone?

Thanks,
