One hive inspected today (currently on its own in an out apiary) with what looks like low level Nosema. Splats are only on the outside of the hive, nothing on the frames.
They’re a recently hived nuc - 5 frames of BIAS, queen laying well. They came low on stores (which I knew) so they had thymololised 1:1 syrup for a week.
I hived them & gave them a wet super last week as weather is good.
Cleaned the front of the hive with washing soda solution and came home to read what to do.
I found some old threads where @Finman says that nosema is present in all hives and low level outbreaks will pretty much sort themselves out by summer.
Any other advice?
