I have a few questions. How well does thymolated syrup work for nosema?
My husband, Jon, is wondering and I’ve found a little information about it and 
looked in the BEE-L archives, but I feel like I'm running in circles as far as 
finding new available information. He is also wondering does the feed affect 
brood negatively at all (it looked like "No" as far as adult bees were concerned 
but brood doesn’t seem to be mentioned usually)? What have people seen this 
year? Have you been able to bring spore counts down? 
     Every time we check our colonies for Nosema, they are high. Obviously we 
want to try to get it under control so they don't crash next spring or over the 
winter, due to weakened immunity. We thought the Nosevit was working, and 
we've also tried fumagilin, but now we seem to be at an impasse. Jon keeps 
asking me questions, but I'm still only an undergrad student, so I just don't 
have the knowledge yet to answer them effectively. For ALL of my classes, I 
can see the potential of how they will be extremely useful tools WHEN I'M 
DONE, but he needs answers NOW and I just don't have them.

Thanks
