I was just reading that "sphagnum moss is naturally anti-fungal" and that's why seeds prone to developing mold are often germinated along with a mixture containing this moss.  I wonder if anyone has researched the potential for a beekeeping application.  Perhaps a potential future treatment/therapy for dysentery or nosema cerenae in the hive?  Further, I wonder if the people using hives with eco floors have explored this as an additive to their mix.  I imagine there are several elements in nature that boast anti-fungal properties.  But it can't hurt to keep searching for that next solution to a beekeeping problem, eh?
