Made no sense to me either. Using antibiotics as a prophylactic makes no sense.

I would consider using Fumidil only for a confirmed case of Nosema 
Cerana.  The USDA autopsy of my dead outs ruled out Nosema.  If they 
hadn't I might have considered using the antibiotic since it was 
clearly "prescribed".

For foulbrood, well, my mentor had it once... and he burned.  I 
continually change out my wax. I have none over four years, and I'll 
be changing that this spring.
