> treating healthy colonies with Fumagilin can actually be somewhat
detrimental to them... Does anyone else recall seeing or hearing this

also, in a talk to our county bee club last year, jeff pettis expressed some concern that routine use of fumagilin could lead to resistance.  i believe that it was expressed a little bit more strongly than that, but i don't want to put words in his mouth without double checking (i think i videotaped the talk...but i won't get to it for a few weeks at best).

certainly this is what one would expect from a regular prophylactic use of an antibiotic (or anti fungal or anti microsporidian...however you want to classify fumagilin these days in this context).
