Deanna If you haven't had nosema problems so far you would probably not have in the cold future. I think Nceranae will go back and NApis come back. I do use a particular product http://www.orego-stim.com/ with 5% oregano oil. and use it like this http://apiaraucania.blogspot.com/2011/03/como-se-usa-el-aceite-de-oregano.html but please do not trust me, I am just a beekeeper. this my limited experiment http://apiaraucania.blogspot.com/2010/07/conducta-varroa-y-experimentos-2010.html the rest are good results. so far so good.
