>Does Nosema ceranae contaminate the comb? How?

N apis clearly contaminates the comb when confined bees defecate within
the hive.  N ceranae does not typically cause such dysentery.

I haven't yet seen any study that has shown the N ceranae contaminates
the comb, as does N apis.  It very well may, but haven't seen supporting
evidence.

Dr Raquel Martin-Hernandez found spores in corbicular pollen, so it
might persist in stored pollen.
