Hi All,

I've been in discussion with Dr Zachary Huang re juvenile hormone and
nosema, and have received permission to cite him.

I want to clarify a misunderstanding that I posted last week--this is a
simple version.

Earlier research indicated that nosema might produce juvenile hormone when
it infects bees.  Dr Huang's unpublished work to test that hypothesis found
that nosema did not produce JH, but that infected bees produced a higher
level themselves.  The mechanism is unknown.
