<<<So,what is a good level of confidence for a competet commercial beekeeper trying to protect his bees is not good enough for a scientist trying to show accurately the effects of various subtley different treatments.>>> I agree. I respect what you are trying to do but I fear it may be impossible. This is why: It's been my understanding that as the spring progresses, nosema levels naturally fall. (Is this true?) If it is true, how can one determine to what degree a treatment is causing the nosema level to drop? It may have come down without any treatment. Can you see the problem?
