Seems to me that I have heard some rumblings that feeding bees protein was 
as effective in combating nosema as using fumagillin.

Seems syrup is still the gold standard for fumagillin feeding, although some 
have claims success with dusting and patties.  Apparently putting fumagillin 
into patties is not helpful in spite of some previous reports or speculation 
to the contrary.

Has anyone here got any real data on whether feeding protein has a positive 
effect against nosema?

Amounts, duration, timing?
