Sorry to hear Bill.  I am currently running a series in ABJ on nosema, and
have deeply researched management of the parasite.  For non chemical
control, comb sterilization or rotation may help, but the main successful
management strategy is to help the bees simply "outcompete" nosema by
keeping young, vigorous queens, and ensuring plenty of good protein
nutrition.  Plenty of old and new research to support, as well as numerous
recent anecdotal reports.

I am currently setting up incubator trials of a number of natural nosema
treatments, and would appreciate any donations toward the time involved.
