Information About Nosema With Adult Honey Bees
Nosema is the most widespread of the adult honey bee diseases. A single celled animal named Nosema apis, a small, unicellular parasite specific to the honeybee, causes it. Nosema cannot exist in a laboratory culture, as with most bacteria and fungi. It will only thrive and multiply in the epithelial cells of the honey bee ventriculus which causes dysentery. Queens, drones and workers are all susceptible to Nosema. The spores of the Nosema must be ingested for the bee to be infected. The spore takes root in the midgut, where they will penetrate a midgut cell and grow by absorbing nutrients from that cell. The parasite will increase in size until it is large enough to divide in half. Each new parasite will continue to feed on the nutrients of the cell until they are depleted. In a matter of time, about 6 to 10 days, 100 new spores are formed in the infected cell. The infected cell when depleted of all the nutrients ruptures releasing all the newly formed spores into the midgut to start the process again. The damaged intestinal tissue is susceptible to secondary diseases. Dysentery is a common symptom of this disease. You will be able to spot the dysentery on the outside of the hive by the little brown spots, but the diseased bees will also defecate inside the hive. contaminating combs with millions of infectious spores. The disease is spread to other colony members through fecal matter.
Nosema having infected one bee will be spread to others in the colony. The disease lowers the life span of the bees. If you have a colony of bees infected with Nosema in late fall, come spring it is likely that most of the colony will have died off.
Nosema is a difficult disease to diganose without using laboratory equipment. Decapitating a bee and pulling out the last abdominal segments usually will remove the intestinal tract while still intact. An infected midgut will become swollen, whitish and lose its visible constrictions. However, other causes of dysentery, such as ingesting honeydew, fermented syrups, etc. can result in similar intestinal changes.
Treatment for Nosema is based on the most appropriate times to prevent comb contamination and to prevent the development of disease in bees that clean up fecal deposits from combs while they are still trying to expand the brood nest. A few bees are always infected, but the diseased late season bees are the only one of any concern. If they develop high levels of infection, they defecate on the combs in October, November, and December, and then they die. The use of fumagillin has been field tested by some beekeepers with acceptable results. When treating use the manufacturer’s instructions.

What is the affect of different honey in a bee’s diet?
Ok, I know that there are different kinds of honey, and I know that bees eat honey. However, does the kind of honey that bees eat have any affect on them? Like would two bees of the same species of honeybee fed on two different kinds of honey have any difference at all?
Yes the different honeys effect the bees. Not all honey is the same nutritional value. I read that almond honey is so lacking that bees starve to death on it alone. Secondly, it is contaminated with Arsenic, an insecticide naturally occurring from the pollen. We have a huge bee die off that they can’t find the cure for. Over 50% of all American bees are used in Almond pollination. There are as of yet no correlative studies being done on this seemingly blatant connection. Of course, when you look at the areas that are doing the study, you notice that the Almond industry is supporting economically a lot of these inquiries either directly or indirectly. I suspect these studies are about as unbiased as those of the effects of tabacco on people were when the tabacco industrie was paying for those studies. While scout bees are searching for nectar bases to send the other workers to collect they can detect even small differences in sugar content between supplies. Bees fed almost any other type honey than Almond would be healthier and live longer than bees fed on Almond honey. There are a couple of other plants like Cranberry and Cucumber that are also suspect along with Almonds. The movement of bees to these areas are not under study to see if they tie in with bee die off. Yes the different kinds of honey do have an effect on bees.
