Gosh! I wonder if we have a bee wasting disease c/w prions, etc.?
We've wondered the same. And we were told that some researchers have said
that simply treating withmacerated bees can cause a loss. That's why we
used macerated bees, bees gut macerations, and nosema extracts (spun down
with centrifuge). We got same results from all three. (Caged bees in lab).
That said, I am not in favor of smashing lots of bees, swapping brood
frames, or adding package bees to failing colonies.
