Thread: Nosema

    Default Nosema

    Heavy infection.
    From today.
    This colony is dark and docile and I planned to breed some from it but not anymore.
    Strongish going into the winter but not many bees now, just enough to cover the 2 frames of brood.
    No soiling inside or outside hive.
    Gave them a spray with Pete's thymol mix.

    Apis or ceranae?

    Looks like a piece of trachea on the slide.

    So, does anyone have a view on whether it is apis to ceranae?

    I think you are right Caz.
    It does have that more rounded apis look.

    Look to me to have straight sides and rounded ends. What about size comparison? Did link help?

    Yes thanks. Link was useful.

    I think size is very similar. Difficult to tell a size difference even at x400.
