I seem to recall having heard mention of killing nosema spores by using
heat, but that the heat required is close to that which melts or sags combs.
Considering that some on the list keep bees in areas where the temperatures
get well above 100 degrees F, I wonder if at certain times of year hives are
sterilized of viable nosema spores?
