"The hive was reasonably strong last fall, so my suspicion is that this
colony, which was obtained from a local swarm of unknown parentage, was just
not up to the winter we had. Is there a simple way to check the frames for
nosema infection?"
Todd, did you treat this colony for Nosema going into the winter? I have
been going with local advise that tells me you have to treat for Nosema
every fall. Fumadil-B in the last gallon of feed before winter. What say
you all?
