A podcast for the inquisitive beekeeper with a short attention span, a podcast, in fact, designed for a beekeeper just like me!Nosema is a spore-forming parasitic microsporidian. There are over 200 different species of Nosema, fortunately, only two of those affect our honeybees.Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae.Each one is slightly different and develops in the honeybee slightly differently but both can devastate a honeybee colony.If you would like me to check your honeybees for Nosema check out my website:http://www.norfolk-honey.co.uk/product/nosema-assessment/The Scientific paper I refer to in the podcast is;"Effect of thymol and resveratrol administered with candyor syrup on the development of Nosema ceranaeand on the longevity of honeybees (Apis mellifera L.)in laboratory conditions" Costa, Lodesani and Maistrello.Apidologie 41 (2010) 141–150 Available online at:c INRA/DIB-AGIB/EDP Sciences, 2009 www.apidologie.orgDOI: 10.1051/apido/2009070Support the show
