Nosema?
Lately there are brown streaks on the top and two sides of my hive - this is a new package (just a month in the hive) that I'm feeding 1:1 syrup and Honeybee Healthy - they seem vigorous, but I'm worried about this and want to make sure I do the right thing.

Re: Nosema?
Dysentery occurs anytime the bees are confined. It does not necessarily mean they have nosema.

Re: Nosema?
I had my cars parked in front of my hives on the first warm day of spring. I had that type mess all over the cars. Strangely hard to wash off.

Re: Nosema?
My beekeeping instructor says it's probably tree resin that they're bringing in....which would explain the difficulty of it washing off...
