At a lecture today, Professor Juliet Osborne of Exeter University 
described an experiment in which marked bees were split into 3 groups.  
One was untreated; one was infected with Nosema cerana by moistening 
them with the juice from squashed bees that were known to have Nc; one 
was treated with the juice from squashed bees not having Nc.  The bees 
were released a short distance from home.  11% of the untreated and of 
the uninfected groups failed to make it back; 34% of those dosed with 
Nc failed to get home.
