I seem to recall having heard mention of killing nosema spores by using 
heat, but that the heat required is close to that which melts or sags combs.

Considering that some on the list keep bees in areas where the temperatures 
get well above 100 degrees F, I wonder if at certain times of year hives are 
sterilized of viable nosema spores?
