??All I can say is it takes awhile for nosema ceranae to cause problems in a
hive. I have not read Whites research but for*or me* a big waste of time.

If White is *so sure*  then why his comment:
""but may be inserted without treatment into hives  containing healthy bees
with PRACTICALLY NO FEAR THAT LOSSES WILL RESULT FROM SUCH MANIPULATION"

*practically no fear*

Listen to experience Dave !

Healthy bees is also a key word. What would unhealthy bees do when dropped
on the comb?

I have been reading USDA bulletins for years. General information at best.

I guess White & I will have to agree to disagree!
