Bill, this is already a well-tested method of application.  It has been
used for distributing imported pollen (with my own hives), as well as other
biocontrol agents.  Bees are already covered with bacterial and fungal
spores, so not necessarily a huge difference if they carry one more fungus,
so long as it has been well tested not to cause harm to the colony.
