I received more reports today that the Wis/Mi region seems really hard hit with presumably nosema, 
some confirmed others speculated but really high losses at 50-100%

Have not heard much from our Northern Friends in Canada yet. 

What's interesting to me is Mn had a dry winter while east of here it was a record setter and wet. 

Could wet conditions turn on the nosema infection? 

Probably snow on the ground yet in much of Canada and too early to get a trend?
