> >Does the list know if nosema spores would be killed in water

Nosema spores are held in water in labs prior to infecting bees in trials.
 N apis spores can be stored for some time in cold water.  N ceranae spores
are more fragile.

> In large holding yards thousands of hives might water at the same place.


No research that I've seen, but I feel that it would be safe to assume that
such water sources would be major avenues for pathogen transmission.
