Probably my email was not well written. My mother lenguage is spanish

I am advocating the use of chlorine ALONE for controling nosema. I did the
spore counts before and after the treament with control. I wish I could post
the graph, but no attachments allowed.

I also used on other tests Acetic Acid. How ever I do not believe on acidic
feeding I do believe that if enough acetic acid in the syrup the fumes will
control spores as indicated for stored material.

I also used a mixture of both for testing and no gasing nor dead bees.

I proposed the following scheme:

Early spring / late winter  (Lat -39°) (4 moths before the honey flow):
chlorine 2%:  dribble 5 ml per space between frames with bees. repeat 6 days
later, repeat again 6 days latter.
Following promotion feeding: syrup+acetic acid (0,5%) + protein  till at
least a month before honey flow
Honey flow: do nothing
After honey flow feed with syrup+chlorine (500 ppm). We do no want spores on
the winter / nor spores left in the honey for spring build up.
