Nosema?

[sfisher]

I was looking at my nucs tonight and saw some brown bee poop on one of them. Is this nosema, if so what do I do?

how strong is the nuc, if not enough bees to cover the brood, they will stain the outside of the hive as they can't leave. only way to know if you have nosema is either send a sample off or test yourself.

Thanks Mike, what you say sounds about right, it is not that stong of a nuc, and the hive I split it from doesnt have the poop on front of it. So they must be holding it, I guess. Thanks Steve
