Allen, I have researched ozone sterilization extensively.
Rosalind James in Utah has done the most work.
Hard to kill AFB.
Takes a high concentration, far more than any cheap generator can produce.
Does not penetrate well, but will oxidize anything on the surface.
Sensitive to moisture.
Some commercial beeks in Utah have built rooms, but there is little data as
to efficacy.
When venting room, can pass through a catalyst to "neutralize."
Have not yet run trials myself.
Sure wouldn't hurt, and may have effect on viruses and nosema not buried in
pollen or honey.
Frank Eischen found that phostoxin was effective against nosema spores.
