Bob H said Possibly feeding a solution of thymol will prove effective in control of nosema ceranae in the future. Right now it seems fumidil is the only option. Commercial beeks are pressing researchers for another product to use against nosema ceranae. I am very curious about Randy's experiments to see if I have been dreaming about bleach in the control of nosemaC. I can not find any spores (none, zero of any kind) on the samples I have taken so far (over a 100). -- Juanse Barros J. APIZUR S.A.
