Hi Guys,

Two more thoughts.

Jim, I looked back and noted that your nosema samples were taken from the
broodnest.  This will tend to give you a low count by a factor of 10 or
more.

Bob, the only time that I've seen substantial fall "swarming" was when bees
first suffered from PMS.  But I did note a couple of rare fall "swarms" in
my operation last year.  This phenomenon might tie to the overall
jitteryness reported for CCD colonies.

Randy
