Title: Nosema?
Post by: Arthur on July 19, 2012, 12:30:32 pm

I was perusing Craigslist for bee supplies and came across this ad. Am I way off, or does the hive on the left looks like it has signs of nosema?

Good eyes.   Check with them and see when the hive had problems last.   I bet it was from last winter but just guessing here.

I never heard back from the guy. I guess I'm not going to worry any more about it.
