Bob;

I am interested in your comments on cleaning up nosema over the course of a year.  I just got lab results back from 2 yards that were doing poorly and have high spore counts in both yards.  The NC lab does not distinguish between Nosema species.  I have given both yards a teaspoon of Fumidil already.  I got negative results from other yards but plan to treat everything as I have not had Nosema problems before and I don't want any lingering hot spots.  What's your advice for the future?

Both of these yards were started with 3 frame splits in June with 'resistant' queens.  I am very suspicious that I got the nosema from the queen introduction.  No proof, but very suspicious.

thanks,
Bill Lord
