I am not thinking on using anything, my question comes because of another
theory I am trying to disprove/prove  It is not mine but from and old
collegue, old in the sense of "vast experience dealing with bees" ;)

This colleague insist the there is another creature (¿a bacteria?) that
attacks first when there is no or almost no nosema spores. Then you start
seing less of this creature and more nosema spores, till you only see
nosema spores. He thinks nosema might be eating (phagocyting) those other
creatures.
