Hello Rimantas Zujus,
 
I would appreciate your replying to a few questions (I placed them in CAPS
inside your message) regarding Nosema control using your formulas.
 
A common question to the three treatments that you propose is:
How many treatments are necessary? How often do you repeat treatments? What
quantity of medicine do you supply to each hive?
 
Thanks a lot.

water ( 100 dg C ). Wait 3-4 hours. Filter.
>         Syrup ratio : 1kg sugar +1ltr water+75g (or mltr) of "brandy".
>         There is noticed an influence against varroa and moth when using
such syrup often (by keeping garlic smell in a hive )
 
-WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "MLTR"? AND WHAT  ABOUT "100 dg C" ?
-WHEN YOU SPEAK ABOUT BRANDY, ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE ALCOHOL DRINK KNOWN
AS BRANDY?
