We all know about feces splattered hives, but is there a low cost test to confirm an infection of nosema apis or nosema cerana? The goal here is a positive ID to then treat with Fumidil/fumigillin. I'm presuming the same treatment will work well on both forms of nosema. Also, does the USDA lab at beltsville now do a routine check for nosema apis and nosema cerana on samples submitted by beekeepers? ****************************************************** * Full guidelines for BEE-L posting are at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/guidelines.htm * ******************************************************
