Hi Bill and All

What concentration of fumigillin do you use?  A member of our local  
assoc contacted Medivet and asked how to treat for Nosema cerana.  He  
claims that they told him 454gm (1 pound) in 25 litres (6.6 gallon)  
1:1 syrup applied @ 250 ml(1 cup) drenched on the bees, 3 times @ 3  
day intervals.  Seems pretty strong to me as well as drowning rather  
than drenching. Expensive as well @ C$196 for fumigillin to treat 33  
hives = C$6 per hive plus syrup, and more for those with fewer hives  
and buying smaller bottles of fumigillin.
