    Is nosema treatable without fumigillin ?

    I thought some thymol in winter syrup was supposed effective ?

    According to Yucel the Thymol is even more effective than fumidil B.

    Mervyn Eddie, one of the speakers at the UBKA conference a fortnight ago did a presentation on this.

    Americans still use it

    I'm glad the thymol works Jon
    I have a little recipe where by adding lecithin granules you get an emulsion that mixes better with the sugar syrup

    I'm sure it will be the same one by the same person though
    I made up much more than I needed but I think it keeps ok for years
