I greatly value your observations, Bob.  However, I must ask you if you
have confirmed that the taking of feed reflects the level of nosema
infection, or simply that the hives are sick from something?

And again, why do you feel that you do not have issues with nosema any
more?  Are you treating prophylactically?  Still spraying combs with
bleach?  Why do you feel that nosema problems have not returned to your
operation?
