Jerry > Some of our recent work, however, suggests that something as simple
as
adding pollen sub can have detrimental effects, depending on the quality of
the
 pollen sub, and maybe the timing of application.

Can you please Jerry expand on this subject?


Edgardo sarlo, and argentinian nosema expert is trying to undestand why they
observe and increase in nosema ceranae spore loads when colonies are moved
in spring to "good/ample" pollen source with respect to the control colonies
left in the same place (less pollen offer).

In my spring experiment as more food stuff the bees had available, the more
spores.
