This is a very exacting protocol to determine the number of spores per bee.
Unfortunately the protocol then refuses to co-relate number of spores to
need for treatment.

I doubt if anyone checking for nosema spores in a colony goes to the extent
of washing the mortar with 70% ethanol etc, and very few would use a
haemocytometer.
