I haven't seen much problem with nosema in my operation, except when we add
a virus inoculum, then the colonies crash. I'm in the middle of an
in-depth discussion of this phenomenon in my current series in ABJ, and
will be explaining in detail over the next few months. I'm coming to
believe that nosema is more of a problem than I previously thought.
