I did a split just over a month ago into a 5 frame nuc. The nuc had been doing so well I opted to move it into a 10 frame deep.
Two weeks has passed since I moved them and after inspecting them today there were NO BEES, no queen, nothing but robbers. The entrance from the notched inner cover, a hole I had drilled in the middle, and the entrance around the reducer were covered in feces.
I can only imagine that this would be my first loss from Nosema?
I have several other nucs and young hives in the area, none with supers. Should I treat them all for nosema? I can only imagine that if one hive was lost from it, that the others have it...but to what extent I'm not sure as none of them are showing any of the same signs.
Fumagilin-B would be the best treatment for this? Does it effect honey?
