I forwarded the CCD statement to a hobbyist bee keeper friend (who lost all his hives); he responded with the following:


"I wish it was that simple John,

Actually beekeepers have been using this antibiotic (flumagillin") every fall as a preventive measure for Nosema….I have used it for many years mixed in our fall feed.

To blame Nosema for CCD is a bit like blaming aids on the common cold."
