> I found this study interesting, since the findings are very different that what I observe and measure in Northern Calif.
Right. I am sure you have already seen this, but others may have not:
ABJ Extra - News November 26, 2014 - Nosema ceranae More Susceptible to Cold Temperatures
Myrsini Natsopoulou said: "Our results reveal not only that the exotic parasite is a better competitor than its original close relative, but that its widespread distribution and patterns of prevalence in nature depend on climatic conditions too".
Coauthor of the study, Prof. Robert Paxton of Queen's University Belfast, added: "This emerging parasite is more susceptible to cold than its original close relative, possibly reflecting its presumed origin in east Asia. In the face of rising global temperatures, our findings suggest that it will increase in prevalence and potentially lead to increased honey bee colony losses in Britain."
