Hello All,
 I have seen a first in 48 years of beekeeping. I had a hive that was flying on our fist real break in this winters rain an snow.I picked out for breeder stock.No Nosema apis at the time. Two weeks latter and the population was falling fast. a large sign of Nosema apis. I have never seen that fast of a turn around over twp weeks. The real side note has been the very wet winter for months at a time.  So the strong bee flight made me feel that all was well with the colony. They had stores and no Honeydew. 
 All ideas welcome.
Best Regards
Roy Nettlebeck.
