Randy: I don't understand how you came to this conclusion.  Brenna did not test treatments with fumagillin in her research!

She says in her thesis abstract:

> Fall fumagillin treatments and winter stimulative pollen feeding were compared. Neither treatment significantly lowered N. ceranae levels in colonies sampled 3-6 months later, nor did they significantly improve colony survival. Due to the high cost of treatment and the time required, we do not recommend either treatment for N. ceranae infections during the fall.
